Pirelli launches made in Italy Cinturato road clincher

Pirelli continues the range enhancement of its road bike tyre line with the announcement of the all new, made in Italy,  Cinturato Road; a tube-type version of its Cinturato Velo tyre.

Designed to offer durability, protection, comfort and the most practical assembly experience, the Cinturato Road is optimized for riders looking for reliability, be that during hard training, for granfondo cycling, or for urban and everyday use, with the wider sizes.

Manufactured in the renovated Milan-Bollate plant, the Cinturato Road features Pirelli’s tested and patented SmartNET Silica compound. This mix, which was already used on the Cinturato Velo and P ZERO TLR 4S, includes seventeen elements, resulting in excellent grip and efficient rolling resistance, in any weather condition.

Its strong 60TPI casing is said to offer great protection against punctures, and has been made with Pirelli’s TechWALL+ Road technology. This includes an added bead-to-bead layer, in a version dedicated to clincher tyres. Pirelli states that its these multiple reinforcement layers – including a bead-to-bead layer and an added nylon protection layer, under the tread, TechWALL+ Road – which protect the tyre from pinch flats and foreign objects, increasing its durability over time on challenging road surfaces that would normally wear it out.

The tread design is also new compared to its famous TLR variant, with more side grooves and a special geometry of patterns to improve its cornering, also on rougher urban stretches or to deal with variable or slightly uneven roads, especially on cold surfaces.

Tested by Pirelli’s World Tour teams during their winter training, it is also perfect for athletes looking for a strong and lasting product to train with, as well as for a large segment of the public who still prefer the practical nature of a tube-type tyre. Here, the new Cinturato Road naturally complements the brands Cinturato SmarTUBE and RoadTUBE options, and will be available in sizes 26-622, 28-622, 32-622 and 35-622.

For those attending Eurobike, Pirelli will present its latest products at stand 11.1 A28.

For UK retailers Extra UK recently announced the recruitment of a dedicated Pirelli Retail Specialist to further strengthen the team at the distributor.
