Cinturato™ Gravel S is a gravel tire for soft and muddy terrain. It is a versatile model that provides safe cycling in adverse weather conditions and on technical trails, at the very frontier of gravel and mountain bikes. The Cinturato™ Gravel S is the recommended model for those looking for a reliable tyre that is easy to handle and safe in all conditions. Grip and safety are prioritized over pure racing speed.
The tread pattern of the Cinturato™ Gravel S applies the main technical solutions adopted for the best soft terrain tyres for mountain bikes and motocross: the lugs are high and widely spaced, the centre section is directed in the direction of rotation so that speed is still good enough to ride on gravel, the side section is more aggressive to penetrate the terrain and create excellent traction in all conditions.
The properties of the new SpeedGRIP rubber compound are suited to all weather conditions, whether the terrain is dry or wet. The new compound retains the same polymer matrix as the mountain bike specific SmartGRIP compound, improving rolling performance.
Reinforced tire construction with a layer of woven fabric placed circumferentially from bead to bead, complemented by aramid beads for tubeless-ready use, are optimized for modern wide rims. Cinturato™ Gravel S offers an extremely high level of puncture protection and a new level of performance in terms of rolling resistance and grip. As well as great reliability - a core element of the Pirelli Cinturato™ brand.
Features:
- SpeedGRIP rubber compound for low rolling resistance when driving on or off road is combined with high puncture resistance and excellent wet grip.

TECHNOLOGY:
TechWALL Gravel Pirelli has created a tire construction that combines know-how under the armour tech™ label with features developed for MTB off-road use. The design and its components
have properties that allow them to resist damage (e.g. punctures from sharp objects or stones): an added layer of highly puncture-resistant material covers the area from bead to bead without reducing the tyre's rolling efficiency or handling qualities. As a result, it can be used on lighter gravel surfaces as well as in difficult terrain conditions.
SpeedGRIP Pirelli has created a proprietary rubber compound that allows for better performance and energy transfer with less effort when riding on asphalt, gravel or more aggressive terrain. The SpeedGRIP compound achieves the same durability as its MTB sibling (SmartGRIP), as well as the same high level of wet grip and allows for more efficient energy transfer to reduce rolling resistance to a level similar to pure road racing tyres. This high-tech rubber compound is the product of experience gained from the world of off-road racing circuits around the world, where Pirelli has a firm place on both 2- and 4-wheel vehicles.
The result is a compound with two diametrically opposed characteristics:
- Puncture resistance: maximum mechanical grip in dry conditions with improved durability and puncture resistance
- Chemical grip: confidence and control in all weather and on any wet surface, on or off road
