Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RM TechWALL

The Cinturato Gravel RM is the successor to the RC, and has been developed to deliver maximum performance on almost any type of terrain. The tread with specific off-road studs delivers excellent grip and control on a variety of unpaved surfaces without reducing suppleness and increasing rolling resistance on harder surfaces. This tyre is designed for riders looking for speed in all conditions. Plus, it is not only about straight-line speed but also about versatility and reliability. Thus, the Cinturato Gravel RM is an excellent choice for top performance on mixed courses, from asphalt to technical gravel and loose sand. Thanks to its versatility on different surfaces, this Cinturato version is the ideal tyre for riders keen to perform at a high level without compromising on safety and security.

The R (Racing) models are designed for riders seeking maximum precision and performance, even on demanding terrain. They incorporate technical solutions derived from Pirelli's experience in MTB XC racing, and offer top performance for demanding gravel riders.

TechWALL carcass
The TechWALL Gravel casing uses elements of mountain bike and road casings to create a structure with a perfect balance between puncture resistance and suppleness. The purpose of the carcass is to prevent cuts in the tyre's sidewalls, and so a structure that is optimally resistant to such cuts is used all over the carcass, and extra rubber has been added in strategic places. Compared to the ProWALL casing, the TechWALL casing lacks an extra nylon layer on the sides, making the tyre a bit lighter but also a bit less puncture resistant.

SpeedGRIP compound
The SpeedGRIP compound is a gravel-specific rubber compound born from experience in the World Rally Championship, where tyre performance in both speed and on- and off-road grip is a top priority. The SpeedGRIP formula is based on the polymer composition of the MTB-specific SmartGRIP compound and also lowers rolling resistance. Optimising it for gravel riding requires a good balance between grip and speed. The result is a predictable compound with consistent on- and off-road performance.
