The Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC Tubeless Tire is a high-performance gravel racing tire developed from Pirelli's extensive experience in competitive cycling and refined through feedback from pro athletes. Engineered for elite gravel racing, this tire is ideal for the fast-paced demands of modern gravel events, like the World Gravel Series and Unbound. Designed to meet the needs of the fastest athletes in gravel, the Cinturato Gravel RC delivers fluidity and speed on straightaways and compact surfaces, along with aggressive grip for navigating sharp turns at high speeds. Inspired by the tread pattern of Pirelli's Scorpion XC RC mountain bike tire, the Cinturato Gravel RC features tall, widely spaced knobs on the sidewalls for improved cornering grip and lower profile, tightly spaced knobs in the center for rolling efficiency on hard-packed surfaces. This unique tread design allows riders to maintain a higher average speed on straights while enjoying stable, confident handling on technical off-road sections.

The Cinturato Gravel RC tire is built with Pirelli's SpeedGRIP compound, engineered to balance rolling efficiency with high mechanical resistance and exceptional grip. This compound was specifically formulated for gravel racing, delivering chemical traction and durability without sacrificing speed. To ensure resilience against the rough terrain often encountered in gravel racing, the tire also features Pirelli’s TechWALL gravel anti-puncture protection, a 120 TPI bead-to-bead cut-resistant belt that shields the tire from punctures. Weighing between 510 and 590 grams, depending on size, the RC tire is lightweight yet robust, ready to handle the challenges of high-speed gravel racing. The Cinturato Gravel RC joins Pirelli’s comprehensive Cinturato Gravel lineup, which also includes the Gravel H for hardpack and hybrid terrain, the Gravel S for soft and muddy conditions, and the Gravel M for balanced performance on mixed terrain. Each tire in the range is crafted to deliver specialized performance for varied conditions, but the Gravel RC stands out as a race-ready, pro-caliber machine for competitive gravel athletes.
