Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC (Race) Classic TLR 700X40C

From the World Gravel Series to Unbound, the Cinturato Gravel RC is intended for every gravel competition: on road, gravel or irregular terrain. The new tyre was created to meet the needs of the fastest athletes of this discipline, who require fluidity and speed in compact and straight sections, and aggressiveness and maximum grip to face any curve easily and at the speeds of modern gravel racing.

Tread: 

Features a special tread pattern: with tall profile and widely spaced knobs on the sidewalls and low profile and compact tread spacing in the central area.

Compound: 

As with the other Cinturato Gravel tyres in the range, the new Cinturato Gravel RC is made with the proven, high-performance SpeedGRIP compound. This proprietary compound from Pirelli allows you to easily tackle every surface, from asphalt to gravel to off-road. SpeedGRIP offers durability comparable to that of the MTB SmartGRIP, excellent chemical grip on wet surfaces, and a reduction in rolling resistance very close to that of a pure road tyre.

Structure: 

The Cinturato Gravel RC has been reinforced compared to the other gravel tyres in the range, specifically to enable the tyre to safely face the toughest tests and sustain the watts expressed even by gravel professionals, on any type of terrain. Its casing, this time in 60TPI nylon, is protected by a 'belt', which goes from bead to bead. Named TechWALL Gravel, it adds a layer of reinforcement and protection against cuts, without compromising the tyre's rolling resistance and rideability.

Gravel RC is compatible with hookless rims according to the ETRTO 5bar / 73psi maximum pressure limit.
