Using the same tread design from the Cinturato Gravel RC the Cinturato Gravel RC X is the answer to all gravel racing requirements on rougher terrains: fast on the straights thanks to minimal central line knobs and aggressive on the corners with higher and more substantial knobs to support handling when cornering.

SpeedGRIP:

A gravel-specific rubber formulation was born from the Pirelli experience in the World Rally Championship, where the performance of speed and grip on and off-road were crucial. This chemical formulation relies on the polymer matrix of the MTB-specific SmartGRIP Compound while lowering its rolling resistance. The gravel application requires good speed and on-off road capabilities; for this reason, our engineers tweaked the compound features towards a better energetic efficiency with a little compromise on the grip; the result is a predictable compound with solid performances on and off the road.

TechWall X:

In order to develop a tyre able to satisfy all gravel racing requirements on rougher terrains, Pirelli’s engineers combined the technologies derived from road-specific reinforced casings with the MTB-specific one. This blending resulted in a tubeless casing construction which features a reinforced and cut-resistant 60tpi fabric extended past the tread line in addition to a bead-to-bead protection layer.

Although the Techwall X Gravel has enhanced puncture protection, it still offers an optimal riding feeling thanks to its TLR tubeless-ready aramid folding bead, which is optimized for wide rims and lower-pressure riding.
