The Cinturato Gravel RC has been designed for all types of gravel racing: on the road, on gravel, or in rough terrain. The new tire has been developed to meet the needs of the fastest gravel athletes: stability and speed on compact and straight sections, as well as maximum grip to navigate every curve with confidence at any pace. The gravel tire features a special tread pattern: high, penetrating shoulder knobs and lower, denser knobs in the center. The Speed-Grip rubber compound offers a long lifespan, excellent chemical grip on wet surfaces, and low rolling resistance that is very close to that of a pure road tire. The 60 TPI nylon casing is protected by the TechWALL Gravel "belt," which wraps the rubber from bead to bead. This provides additional reinforcement and protection against cuts without compromising the tire's rolling resistance and handling characteristics.
