Pirelli has continued the range expansion of its road bike tyre line-up by unveiling the Cinturato Road, which has been made exclusively as a tube-type tyre.
Modelled on its tubeless-ready Cinturato Velo tyre, the new Cinturato Road is designed to offer durability, protection, comfort and the most practical assembly experience.
Manufactured in Pirelli’s renovated Milan-Bollate plant in Italy, the Cinturato Road features Pirelli’s tested and patented SmartNET Silica compound. This mix, which was already been used on the Cinturato Velo and P ZERO TLR 4S, includes seventeen elements, resulting in grip and efficient rolling resistance, in varying weather conditions.
Cinturato Road has a strong 60TPI casing to offer protection against punctures. It has been made with Pirelli’s TechWALL+ Road technology, with an added bead-to-bead layer, in a version dedicated to clincher tyres.
Thanks to its multiple reinforcement layers, including a bead-to-bead layer and an added nylon protection layer, under the tread, TechWALL+ Road helps to protect the tyre from pinch flats and foreign objects, increasing its durability over time on challenging road surfaces.
The tread design is also new, with more side grooves and a special geometry of patterns to improve cornering, also on rougher urban stretches or to deal with variable or slightly uneven roads, especially on cold surfaces.
Pirelli adds that the Cinturato Road is made for the ‘large segment of the public, who still prefer the practical nature of a tube-type tyre’, and complements Pirelli’s Cinturato SmarTUBE and RoadTUBE options.
The Cinturato Road is available in sizes 26-622, 28-622, 32-622 and 35-622.
