Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC 700X40 Road Folding Tyre Tubeless Ready, Black

Cinturato™ Gravel RC is the specific tire for gravel racing applications, derived from our experience in the main gravel competitions and from the advice of our athletes. A tread pattern inspired by that of Scorpion™ XC RC, focused on two main characteristics: smoothness for the fastest stretches and lateral grip for off-road curves without support.

COMPUND
SPEEDGRIP COMPOUND
Specific formulation for Gravel, born from the Pirelli experience in the world of rallies in which the characteristics of smoothness on asphalt and grip on dirt are crucial. This compound uses the same polymer matrix as the MTB SmartGrip Compound compound, but improves its smoothness. Gravel use requires greater speed and on / off-road versatility, which is why the Pirelli technicians have oriented the properties of the compound towards better energy efficiency, allowing excellent performance on dirt roads and high grip on both dry and wet surfaces. With smoothness values ??on any surface similar to those recorded by purely road tires.

STRUCTURE
TECHWALL GRAVEL
With a combination of the know-how developed for reinforced road structures and the experience gained in MTB, the Pirelli technicians have created a Gravel construction that relies on both the mechanical resistance of the compound itself and a layer of high resistance to cut that protects the carcass from heel to heel. While on-road punctures occur mainly due to the penetration of sharp objects, off-road more frequently due to stones or debris on the side of the tire. For this reason, the textile material used for the TechWALL construction is particularly resistant to cuts, in order to ensure better resistance of the entire structure. The 120tpi tubeless-ready carcass guarantees an optimal driving feeling without the risk of forced stops thanks to the use of specific anti-cut fabrics. A unique mix of technologies to tackle any type of terrain.
