Reviews over the

Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR

Good puncture-resistant all-round tyre

Pros & Cons

After 15000km and not worn out yet. Always small leaks resolved with milk, otherwise fine.

Pros & Cons

After only 12 km we had a leak. Hopefully this was just a coincidence.

Pros & Cons

Great tire for between road and gravel. I used them on a bikepacking vacation in the Alps in 35 mm. Very stable and definitely did not feel I had to work harder than people on 28 mm. On Zipp 303s very easy to make tubeless. Too bad though is the vagueness about possible rim widths. They look best on a wide rim but the box seems to suggest that you should not go wider than 21 mm. Pirelli themselves do not answer emails. After quite a bit of searching, it is clear that there is no problem using them on 23 mm hookless.

Pros & Cons

This tire rides smoothly on unpaved roads and cobblestones, especially if you choose a larger width. Is very durable, easily lasts a year, where I had only one puncture in the winter. Rolling resistance is slightly higher, but you don't really feel it.

Pros & Cons

Not yet driven much with it but good feeling more or less already 300 km

Pros & Cons

Excellent ride experience during adverse weather and road conditions. Its not a race road tire but its probably the fastest high punture resistant tire ever made.

Pros & Cons

The tyre is super sturdy and with a light tread also very pleasant in winter and wet weather.

Pros & Cons

First long ride nasr Utrechtse Heuvelrug with it and comfort is striking. Didn't feel they were 'slow' now. Just normal.

Pros & Cons

Fast all-round gravel tyre , according to my experiences cannot be punctured .

Pros & Cons

For winter this year I decided to try the pirelli cinurato and I am definitely impressed. Got punctured once by a big shard of glass never had any grip problems and have even gravelled with them and they just look nice with the skinwall too. They are a bit slow though but you can't have everything in a winter tyre

Pros & Cons

I found these easy to fit and they inflated easily as well Two weeks in and they are holding their air pressure

Pros & Cons

The first 250km are already done. Cycled in all weather conditions, like the Amstel Gold Race in rule and hail. No punctures and that gives me confidence for future kilometres! With these tyres, I'm confident to go for another ride where all seasons pass by. Fast tyres and a great look too! A responsible choice as far as I am concerned

Pros & Cons

Tyres are very quick, only done 39 miles but excellent ride quality. My first experience of tubeless and very pleased so far.

Pros & Cons

I've been riding these tyres for several years now and I've never had the slightest problem. They're easy to break in tubeless. And they're made in France

Pros & Cons

Tubeless fitting on my DT Swiss wheels with 18mm rim went smoothly with an ordinary floor pump. Very puncture-resistant tyre but so is the Conti 4Seasons. This weekend I did a test: 2x the same 60 km round trip under the same weather conditions. On my Continental 4 seasons with inner tube on my 'heavy' wheelset, I was 1 minute faster than the tubeless Pirelli's on the lighter DT Swiss wheels. So they are little different, but I don't really see the advantages of tubeless and for me they don't outweigh the disadvantage that the sealant is quite a mess to clean. Even if you get a puncture and the sealant seals the hole, you spend the time later cleaning your frame and clothes. Changing the outer tyre is also quite a task compared to a normal inner tube.

Pros & Cons

Front tyre was tricky to fit but rear was really difficult. Tyre is comfortable on the road and holds pressure too in tubeless format

The tyre is a little hard for soft rods...

Pros & Cons

Nice tyre for winter use. Rolling resistance is high, though

Pros & Cons

Pleasant tyres from Pirelli. Deliberately chose these tyres for their puncture resistance. For me, this far outweighs the slightly higher weight and rolling resistance. I myself have width 32 mm (with tube) for the road bike. It may not be the fastest tyre, but it has excellent grip and comfort. The occasional gravel path or bad road surface abroad is no problem at all. Already over 8000 km without a puncture. Easy mounting.

Pros & Cons

Highly recommended many assets I was pleasantly surprised. The slightly less favourable rolling resistance is negligible compared to all the advantages

Pros & Cons

Hello everyone! I was looking for a tubeless-compatible replacement for Conti 4-Seasons and came across Cinturato by pure chance. Tubeless mounting on Mavic Allroad went without a hitch. I have now ridden the tyre for approx. 1000 km (80% asphalt, 20% gravel). Super rolling behaviour, in the wet the Pirelli is in no way inferior to the 4-Seasons. There are no signs of wear. I think I will have fun with this tyre for many thousands of kilometres. A clear buy recommendation!

Pros & Cons

I still only make my tyre choice between tyres that I can get on the rim myself, on my own and without tools, and I am not a powerhouse. From a quasi-infinite choice of racing tyres, you fall back to just a few models that way. My choice: summer front: Pirelli Zero Velo; summer rear: Pirelli cinturato velo; winter front and rear: Continental 4seasons. With inner tube, of course. Simple!

Pros & Cons

After the Pirelli Cinturato 28, I now put the 26 on it. The 28 seemed manageable and after my crashes it felt safer. Only sometimes when some dirt got on the tyres, it ran into the inside of the front fork (Giant Advanced TCR). Therefore, for this season a size smaller. I didn't know about the existence of 26-inch tyres. I only knew about the 23, 25 and 28. So the 26-inch is a nice intermediate size for me. Changing these tubeless tyres went fine by the book. Put 6 bar in and go. They run great on asphalt but are also comfortable on bumpier terrain. They fly over cobblestones near Driemond. In short, a great first experience

Have now renewed my rear wheel Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR after 9000km not because it was flat but because there was a piece of glass in it (Which was sealed fine by Squirt Sealant) and the tread was now getting those little cracks anyway.

Pros & Cons

Eifel route done from Coo , nice ascents and descents , varying climatic conditions , gravel paths between track crossings . no punctures yet . relied before that on the Challenge Strade bianche in terms of solid tyre . 28mm is ideal for me in terms of comfort and grip considering I weigh 100kg. For me the alternative to conti's 4-seasons

Pros & Cons

Bad roads in Italy. No punctures with this tyre in 500 km. Due to high rolling resistance somewhat slow tyre.

Pros & Cons

Nicely packed. Made in France (by Mavic probably, feels similar, found lots of semblance to the french maker's UST tyres) Nonetheless a cool looking tread pattern, holds air surprisingly well when sutup tubeless, even when not ridden for days. soft and supple on the road. Not recommended for rims with rim bed wider than 21mm i.e. no-go for gravel wheels :(

Pros & Cons

Not quite as fast as the Swalbe Pro One I last had but not far off, better grip, hopefully they will last a bit longer
