PIRELLI Cinturato Gravel RC X Tire

PIRELLI Cinturato Gravel RC X Tire

From the success of the Cinturato Gravel RC, Pirelli's first ever gravel-racing specific tire, they developed an even more reinforced version: the Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC X. This model features the new Techwall X Gravel, a 60tpi fabric casing structure extended past the tread line, with an additional bead-to-bead protection layer. Keeping the characteristic tread design of Pirelli's RC models, the Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC X is designed for gravel-racing on rough surfaces.

SpeedGrip Compound

The SpeedGRIP Compound is a gravel-specific rubber formulation born from the Pirelli experience in the World Rally Championship where the performances of speed and grip on and off-road are crucial. This chemical formulation rely on the polymer matrix of the MTB-specific SmartGRIP Compound while lowering its rolling resistance. The gravel application requires good speed and on-off road capabilities, for this reason our engineers tweaked the compound features towards a better energetic efficiency with a little compromise on the grip, the result is a predictable compound with solid performances on and off road.

TechWall X Gravel

In order to develop a tire able to satisfy all gravel racing requirements on rougher terrains, Pirelli engineers combined the technologies derived from road-specific reinforced casings with the MTB-specific one. This blending resulted in a tubeless casing construction which features a reinforced and cut-resistant 60tpi fabric extended past the tread line in addition to a bead-to-bead protection layer. The Techwall X Gravel, despite enhanced puncture protection, still offers an optimal riding feeling thanks to its TLR tubeless-ready aramid folding bead, optimized for wide rims and lower pressure riding.
