From the success of the Cinturato Gravel RC, our first gravel race-specific tire, we have developed an even more reinforced version: the Cinturato Gravel RC X. 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.

MIXTURE

\n

Gravel-specific formulation, born from Pirelli’s experience in the world of rallying where sliding characteristics 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

TECHWALL X GRAVEL

\n

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.
