Pirelli launches new Cinturato Gravel RC X TLR tyre

Pirelli has introduced a new gravel tyre aimed specifically at more extreme terrain and high performance riding, with the Cinturato Gravel RC X, TLR tyre.

‘X for extreme’ states the Italian tyre manufacturer, pointing to increased sidewall protection. Here we’re told that the new TechWALL X structure features a 60TPI nylon casing with longer overlap,  reinforcing the sidewall, and enhancing cut-resistance. In addition to this, there is also a bead-to-bead protective layer, made from a high-density square fabric,  that is present on all of Pirelli’s Gravel range.

In launching the new tyre, the brand highlights that this extra protection does not come at the expense of feel through the tyre, or increased rolling resistance. Like the other Pirelli Gravel tyres in the range, the new Cinturato Gravel RC X is also made with the brands tried-and-tested and high performing, proprietary, SpeedGRIP compound, which is said to feature great durability, excellent grip on wet surfaces and reduced rolling resistance.

The Cinturato Gravel RC X is available in sizes 35-622 (Classic), 40-622 (traditional black) and 45-622 (Classic).
