Cinturato™ Gravel S is the gravel tire dedicated to use on soft and muddy terrain, a versatile model that allows you to pedal safely in difficult climatic conditions, even on technical routes almost worthy of a mountain bike. Cinturato™ Gravel S is the model suitable for those looking for a reliable, easily controllable and safe product in all conditions, favoring grip and safety over the pure smoothness of racing tyres. Cinturato™ Gravel S is compatible with hookless rims respecting the ETRTO inflation limit of 5bar/72.5psi.
Mix
Specific formulation for Gravel, born from Pirelli's experience in the world of rallies where the characteristics of smoothness on asphalt and grip on dirt roads are crucial. This compound uses the same polymer matrix as the MTB SmartGrip Compound, but improves its smoothness. Gravel use requires greater speed and on/off-road versatility, which is why Pirelli technicians have oriented the properties of the compound towards better energy efficiency, allowing excellent performance on dirt terrain and high grip on both dry and wet surfaces. With sliding values on any surface similar to those recorded by purely road tyres.
Structure
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 both on the mechanical resistance of the compound itself and on a layer of high resistance to cut that protects the carcass from bead to bead. While punctures on the road mainly occur due to the penetration of sharp objects, off-road more frequently due to stones or debris on the side of the tyre. For this reason the textile material used for the TechWALL construction is particularly resistant to cuts, in order to guarantee a better resistance of the whole structure. The 120tpi tubeless-ready casing guarantees an optimal riding 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.
