Pirelli has announced the Cinturato Gravel RC, a gravel racing<\/a> tyre with a cross-country mountain biking tread.<\/p>\n

The tubeless-ready<\/a> Cinturato Gravel RC is an updated version of the Cinturato Gravel M<\/a>, a tyre designed for muddy conditions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Cinturato Gravel RC\u2019s tread is less aggressive, but retains relatively tall, widely spaced shoulder knobs alongside a smoother centre pattern.<\/p>\n

Pirelli says this design originates from its Scorpion XC RC<\/a> cross-country mountain biking tyre.<\/p>\n

In addition, Pirelli claims the Cinturato Gravel RC contains the SpeedGRIP compound, allowing you to \u201ceasily tackle every surface, from asphalt to gravel to off-road\u201d.<\/p>\n

The compound is nearly as durable as that used in its mountain bike tyres<\/a>, according to Pirelli.<\/p>\n

The brand also says the compound provides \u201cexcellent grip on wet surfaces and a reduction in rolling resistance very close to that of a pure road tyre\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Cinturato Gravel RC is claimed to be stronger than other tyres in the brand\u2019s gravel range to \u201cface the toughest tests and sustain the watts expressed even by gravel professionals\u201d.<\/p>\n

Pirelli says the tyre\u2019s 60 TPI nylon casing contains a layer called TechWALL Gravel. This runs from bead to bead and is claimed to protect against cuts without adding rolling resistance.<\/p>\n

The Cinturato Gravel RC tyre is available in 700c x 35mm, 40mm and 45mm sizes, with either black or tan sidewalls. It weighs a claimed 510g in 700c x 35mm.<\/p>\n

Unlike with the Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M tyre, there does not appear to be a 650b<\/a> size option.<\/p>\n

The Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC costs \u00a360.99 \/ \u20ac69.90 \/ $84.90 \/ AU$120.90 in 700c x 35mm and 40mm.\u00a0The 700c x 45mm option costs \u00a362.99 \/ \u20ac70.90 \/ $86.90 \/ AU$126.90.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n
