Pirelli launches New Cinturato Cross & Gravel Tires

Pirelli, a company with strong ties in the road cycling and motorsports world, has recognized the growth in gravel cycling with their own line of gravel-specific tires. Stemming from their Cinturato Velo line, which claims to offer exceptional durability and widths up to 700×35, the new Gravel and Cross tires build this to offer more traction, larger widths, and options for both ‘hard terrain’ and ‘mixed terrain’ surfaces. The Cinturato Gravel family of tires feature a reinforced casing construction with a woven bead-to-bead fabric layer and a TLR Aramid bead optimized for wide rims. Pirelli’s SpeedGRIP compound has been fine tuned to prioritize all-weather performance, no matter the terrain, which is said to reduce rolling resistance to a “pure road racing tire” level. The entire Cinturato Gravel line of tires comes in both a full black plus a Classic version – with PARA sidewalls. As expected, all of the Cinturato Gravel tires are tubeless-ready.

Pirelli Cinturato Gravel (H) Hard Terrain Tire

The Cinturato Gravel Hard Terrain tires feature a low profile, compact tread spacing for riding quickly and confidently over any kind of hardpack terrain, whether for dry or wet. The Cross version is only offered in 700×33, while the Gravel model is available in 700×35, 700×40, 700×45, 650bx45, and 650bx50.

Pirelli Cinturato Gravel (M) Mixed Terrain Tire

The Cinturato Gravel Mixed Terrain tires feature a slightly larger profile and tread spacing for riding quickly and confidently over a mixed variety of terrains, from hard to soft, whether for dry or wet. The Cross model will come in a 700×33, while the Gravel line is available in 700×35, 700×40, 700×45, 650bx45, and 650bx50.

The new Cinturato Cross and Gravel line of tires will be on the market starting in October 2019.
