Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC – 700x45 Classic (Tan/Brown)

The Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC is the ultimate racing tire for the gravel world. Developed by drawing on Pirelli's extensive experience in the World Rally Championship (WRC) and Cross-Country (XC) mountain biking, this tire was born for riders seeking maximum speed on every terrain—from fast asphalt sections to compact and technical gravel paths.

Key Features

• Racing Speed: The tread features low, tightly packed center knobs to minimize rolling resistance and maximize efficiency.

• Cornering Grip: Higher, more aggressive side knobs derived from the Scorpion XC RC design ensure stability and traction in demanding turns.

• TechWall Gravel Protection: A reinforced 60 TPI casing with a bead-to-beat anti-puncture fabric layer offers exceptional protection against cuts without sacrificing suppleness.

• SpeedGRIP Compound: Specifically formulated for gravel, it provides superior grip in both wet and dry conditions while ensuring high mileage durability.

• Classic Look: The "Para/Tan" sidewall adds a retro, elegant touch to your bicycle.

User Guide & Mounting Tips

To get the best performance from your Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC, follow these tips:

1. Tubeless Setup: While it can be used with inner tubes, we highly recommend a Tubeless Ready setup with liquid sealant to reduce the risk of pinch flats and improve overall comfort.

2. Rotation Direction: Always check the arrow on the sidewall for the correct tread orientation.

3. Pressure: Thanks to the generous 45mm volume, you can run lower pressures (typically between 1.8 and 2.5 bar depending on rider weight and terrain) to increase grip and vibration damping.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
