Product Information

Full details

The Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RH Performance Tyre is for aggressive gravel riders tackling mixed terrain and fast races. Its key benefit is maximizing efficiency on compact surfaces while providing reliable off-road grip for confident cornering. A potential caveat is its race-focused design may prioritize speed over ultimate comfort on very rough terrain. This tyre features a slick central band for speed, pronounced side knobs for cornering, and a squared profile for stability, all built with Pirelli's race-derived technology.

FAQs

What does 'RH' stand for in the Cinturato Gravel RH?

'RH' stands for Racing Hard, indicating its design focus for racing on hardpack and mixed terrains.

Is this tyre suitable for very muddy conditions?

The RH is optimized for hardpack and mixed conditions. While it offers some grip on looser surfaces, its slicker center tread and less aggressive side knobs mean it may not provide maximum traction in deep mud compared to tires with more open tread patterns.

What is the difference between the RH, H, and M models?

The RH (Racing Hard) is designed for speed on hardpack and mixed terrain. The H (Hard) is a versatile all-rounder for hardpack and mixed conditions. The M (Mixed) is designed for looser and more varied terrain where more aggressive grip is needed.

What TPI does the Performance Line use?

The Performance Line tyres, including the Cinturato Gravel RH, feature a 60 TPI (Threads Per Inch) casing.

Can I use this tyre with tubes?

Yes, while designed as Tubeless Ready (TLR), the tyre can also be used with an inner tube if preferred or for emergency repairs.

What are the available widths for the Cinturato Gravel RH?

The Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RH Performance Line is available in 700x40, 700x45, and 700x50 sizes.

How does the SpeedGRIP compound contribute to performance?

The SpeedGRIP compound is engineered to provide a balanced mix of rolling efficiency (speed) and reliable grip across a wide range of conditions, while also offering good durability.

Troubleshooting

Tyre does not seat properly on the rim.

Ensure the rim bed is clean and free of debris. Use a floor pump with a high volume or a compressor to rapidly inflate the tyre, which helps seat the bead. For stubborn tires, a small amount of soapy water on the bead can aid seating.

Slow air leak after tubeless setup.

Check that the valve is properly tightened and that the rim tape is creating a good seal. Ensure sufficient sealant is inside the tyre; the sealant needs to distribute and seal minor leaks. Rotate the wheel to coat the inside and allow sealant to work.

Puncture despite TechWALL Gravel casing.

While the TechWALL casing offers excellent protection, very sharp objects can still cause punctures. For small punctures, sealant should automatically repair them. For larger cuts, a tire plug or boot may be necessary.

Tyre wears out quickly.

Check tyre pressures are within the recommended range. Riding aggressively on rough surfaces can increase wear. Ensure the tyre is not being used on surfaces for which it is not designed (e.g., continuous abrasive pavement).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent rolling efficiency on hardpack and asphalt.
  • Confident grip and control in cornering on loose surfaces.
  • Durable construction with good puncture protection.
  • Versatile SpeedGRIP compound performs well in various conditions.
  • Designed for aggressive riding styles and race performance.

Cons

  • May offer less plush comfort than more heavily treaded gravel tires on very rough terrain.
  • Squared profile might feel less nimble on extremely loose or muddy conditions compared to rounder profiles.
  • Performance is optimized for mixed surfaces; may not be the fastest on pure pavement or pure deep mud.
  • Race-focused design prioritizes speed, which could be a trade-off for casual touring.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RH Performance Tyre is Tubeless Ready (TLR). For tubeless setup, ensure you have compatible tubeless rim tape, sealant, and valves. Mount the tyre onto your rim, add sealant, and inflate to the recommended pressure, ensuring the bead seats properly. Check for any air leaks around the bead and valve.

Compatibility: This tyre is designed to be compatible with modern wide rims and hookless rims, adhering to the latest ETRTO standards. Always confirm your rim's specifications for hookless compatibility. Available sizes include 700x40, 700x45, and 700x50.

Care: Regularly inspect the tyre for cuts, punctures, or excessive wear. Clean the tyre with water and a mild soap if necessary, avoiding harsh chemicals. After significant use or exposure to mud, cleaning the tread and sidewalls can help maintain performance and longevity. Ensure proper inflation pressures are maintained for optimal performance and to prevent pinch flats.
