From the success of the Cinturato™ Gravel RC, our first gravel-racing specific tyre, we developed an even more reinforced version: the Cinturato™ Gravel RC-X. It features the TechWALL-X Gravel casing, a 60 TPI fabric structure extended past the tread line with an additional bead-to-bead protection layer. Keeping the characteristic tread design of the RC, the Gravel RC-X is designed for gravel racing on rough surfaces.

What's the secret to our tyres? Let's take a look at some of the motorsport-derived technologies applied to our cycling tyres
SPEEDGRIP COMPOUND
The SpeedGRIP Compound is a gravel-specific rubber formulation born from the Pirelli experience in the World Rally Championship, where speed and grip on and off-road are crucial. It relies on the polymer matrix of the MTB-specific SmartGRIP Compound while lowering its rolling resistance. Our engineers tuned it towards better energy efficiency with a small compromise on grip: the result is a predictable compound with solid performance on and off road, in both dry and wet conditions.
TECHWALL-X GRAVEL CASING
The 60 TPI tubeless-ready gravel-specific casing with increased puncture protection thanks to an additional bead-to-bead anti-puncture fabric.
