Pirelli Cinturato Cross H tyre
Power is nothing without control
Pirelli Cinturato Cross Hard Terrain tyre boasts a low-profile tread and closely spaced blocks to ensure smoothness on hard, compact surfaces such as asphalt and gravel, but with side blocks that provide adequate grip on gravel. Thanks to the SpeedGRIP compound, grip and protection are guaranteed over time, even on wet surfaces.
Technologies
Tubeless Ready
Tubeless Ready tyres can be used both with and without an inner tube. To use it without a tube the tyre is sealed with a special sealing milk. It also provides the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube.
SpeedGrip compound
Specific formulation for Gravel, born from Pirelli's experience in the world of rallying where the characteristics of smoothness on asphalt and grip on gravel are crucial. This compound uses the same polymer matrix as the MTB SmartGrip Compound, but improves its smoothness. Gravel use requires greater speed and versatility on/off-road, so Pirelli engineers have oriented the compound's properties towards better energy efficiency, enabling excellent performance on gravel and high grip in both dry and wet conditions. With sliding values on any surface similar to those recorded by purely road tyres.
Techwall Gravel
Using a combination of the know-how developed for reinforced road structures and the experience gained in MTB, Pirelli's engineers have created a Gravel construction that relies on both the mechanical resistance of the compound itself and a layer of high shear resistance that protects the casing from bead to bead. While punctures on the road occur mainly from penetration by sharp objects, off-road punctures occur more frequently from stones or debris on the sidewall of the tyre. For this reason, the textile material used for the TechWALL construction is particularly resistant to cuts, in order to ensure better resistance of the entire structure. The tubeless-ready 120tpi casing guarantees an optimal riding feel without the risk of forced stops thanks to the use of specific anti-cut fabrics. A unique mix of technologies to tackle all types of terrain.
