Tubeless has now become a routine for all cyclists, from professionals to amateurs. And now it is officially arrived in the gravel world too: even the specialty dedicated to adventure requires technical evolution. Pirelli launches the Cinturato Gravel RC X tire, the rough terrain version of his famous Cinturato Gravel RC, dedicated to bicycles gravel.
Demanding
A product, the Cinturato Gravel RC X, designed for those who love adventure and have no intention of stopping at anything. Every terrain is within its reach: rough roads and mixed terrain, up to the toughest pathsIt is the ideal choice for those who enjoy the most extreme bikepacking or the most iconic races. The X, in fact, stands for Extreme, and defines a category of Pirelli bicycle tires dedicated to the toughest and most demanding uses.
Tubeless
The choice to combine tubeless ready contributes to even greater robustness on the sidewalls. This feature is also combined with optimal rolling resistance., typical of tubeless tires. A fast, smooth-rolling tire on hard surfaces or on straights, thanks to a central tread with low, dense knobs. It also offers perfect grip in curves, thanks to the sidewalls with high and penetrating profile blocksPirelli has placed its TechWALL X technology right on the shoulders of the Cinturato Gravel RC X.
Extreme technique
A Pirelli-specific structure featuring a 60tpi nylon carcass that is folded and extended to cover the entire opposite sidewall. This makes the sides reinforced and resistant to cuts., which is essential when you are immersed in nature without assistance.
Added to this is a bead-to-bead protection layer in high-density square fabric, common to the entire Pirelli Gravel range. The tire thus maintains the smoothness and grip typical of the RC model., but significantly increases resistance to lateral cuts and stability when cornering.
Offroad origins
The tread pattern of the RC X model is shared with that of the Gravel RC, derived from the Pirelli SCORPION XC RC tires, born in the XC and Marathon World Cup races and intended for expert and fast ridersThe new CINTURATO Gravel RC X is also made with the now proven and high-performance SpeedGRIP compound, which offers durability, grip on wet surfaces and a reduction in rolling resistance, very close to that of a pure road tire.
The CINTURATO Gravel RC X is already available in the best cycling shops and online, in sizes 35-622 (Classic), 40-622 (traditional black) and 45-622 (Classic).
