Pirelli has unveiled the latest additions to its gravel tire lineup: the Cinturato™ Gravel RH and RM. These tires are engineered to meet the evolving demands of modern gravel cycling, emphasizing speed, versatility, and performance.
Cinturato™ Gravel RH
Designed for high-speed gravel races that traverse both asphalt and hard-packed surfaces, the Cinturato™ Gravel RH features a slick central strip for optimal efficiency on compact terrains. Its pronounced side knobs deliver precise grip during cornering on off-road sections. The tire’s squarer profile enhances rolling speed on straightaways while maintaining strong cornering capabilities, catering to aggressive riding styles. The “R” in its name signifies its racing orientation, with “H” indicating its suitability for hard-packed surfaces. Manufactured at Pirelli’s Milan-Bollate facility using FSC™-certified natural rubber, the Cinturato™ Gravel RH boasts a 17% reduction in rolling resistance compared to its predecessor, the Cinturato™ Gravel H.

Ideal for mixed routes—from asphalt to technical gravel or soft ground—the “R” denotes its racing focus, while “M” indicates its adaptability to mixed terrains. Also produced at Pirelli’s Milan-Bollate facility using FSC™-certified natural rubber, the Cinturato™ Gravel RM offers a 20% reduction in rolling resistance compared to the previous model, the Cinturato™ Gravel M.
