Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC-X TLR 700x40 clincher tire - Classic

The Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC X clincher builds on the success of the Cinturato Gravel RC, the first tire specifically for gravel racing, by developing an even more reinforced version. This model features the new Techwall X Gravel, a carcass structure with 60tpi fabric extended beyond the tread line, with also an additional layer of bead-to-bead protection. Retaining the characteristic tread pattern of our RC models, the Cinturato Gravel RC X is designed for gravel racing on the most difficult surfaces. Gravel-specific formulation, born from Pirelli's experience in the world of rallying where the characteristics of smoothness on asphalt and grip on gravel are crucial. This compound uses the same polymer matrix as the MTB SmartGrip Compound, but improves its smoothness. Gravel use requires more speed and on/off-road versatility, so Pirelli engineers have geared the compound's properties toward better energy efficiency, enabling excellent performance on gravel terrain and high grip in both dry and wet conditions. With smoothness values on any surface similar to those recorded by purely road tires. In order to develop a tire that meets all the requirements for gravel racing on the roughest terrain, our engineers combined technologies derived from reinforced casings specific to road tires with those specific to MTB tires. This fusion resulted in the construction of a tubeless carcass that features a reinforced, cut-resistant 60tpi fabric extended beyond the tread line in addition to a layer of heel-to-heel protection. The Techwall X Gravel, despite its increased puncture protection, still offers optimal riding feel thanks to the tubeless-ready aramid folding bead, which is optimized for wide rims and low riding pressures.
