Pirelli has launched the Cinturato Gravel S, a <\/span>gravel tyre<\/span><\/a> designed for \u201cthe softest and most challenging terrain\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pirelli says the sculpted tread pattern of the Gravel S was developed by the brand\u2019s engineers to better tackle \u201ctechnical and rough\u201d gravel trails, \u201cwhere grip and safety are the top priority, without neglecting easy handling and grip on the road\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The brand already has the Cinturato Gravel H for hardpack conditions, <\/span>Gravel M<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for mixed terrain and <\/span>Gravel RC<\/span><\/a> for racing in its gravel tyre arsenal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like all the other tyres in the gravel range, the Cinturato Gravel S uses Pirelli\u2019s SpeedGRIP compound and is tubeless<\/a>-ready.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The SpeedGRIP compound is a proprietary rubber that Pirelli claims \u201callows for best performance and energy management with less effort whether riding on tarmac, gravel or more aggressive terrain\u201d. It is also said to retain the same durability as the SmartGRIP compound Pirelli uses on its <\/span>mountain bike tyres<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Gravel S uses a 60 TPI nylon casing and Pirelli\u2019s TechWALL Gravel protective belt. This is claimed to run from bead to bead and <\/span>protect against cuts without adding excessive rolling resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tyre is available in 700 x 40 and 700 x 45mm widths and is available in both black and \u2018Classic\u2019 sidewalls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pirelli had been missing a mud tyre in the range.<\/span><\/figcaption> Pirelli <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

The 40mm black tyre is to be the lightest in the range, at a claimed weight of 540g, and the heaviest tyre is said to be the 45mm \u2018Classic\u2019 variant at 600g.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The tyres will retail from \u00a357.99 \/ \u20ac66.90 \/ $82.90 \/ AU$116.90 and are available now.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
