Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RH Tyre

Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RH Tyre

The Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RH is built for one purpose: going fast on mixed-surface gravel routes. Developed specifically for competitive gravel racing where courses blend sealed roads with hardpack and compact dirt, the RH delivers race-winning rolling efficiency without sacrificing the mechanical grip needed when the road turns rough. For riders targeting fast times on Australian gravel events, from the red dirt roads of the Grampians to the compact fire trails of the Yarra Ranges, this is a tyre engineered to compete.

• Slick central strip combined with pronounced side knobs delivers maximum rolling efficiency on hardpack and sealed surfaces, with mechanical grip when cornering on loose or off-road sections
• Squarer profile compared to the H and M models maximises straight-line speed while maintaining strong cornering grip, suited to aggressive riders chasing fast times on mixed-surface gravel races
• SpeedGrip compound draws on Pirelli's rally motorsport heritage for dependable traction on dirt and gravel in both dry and wet conditions, balancing efficiency, comfort and durability

Tread Design for Fast Mixed Terrain

The RH tread pattern is purpose-built for the fastest gravel race formats, where routes consistently mix asphalt with hardpack and compact dirt. The slick central strip keeps rolling resistance low on sealed and firm surfaces, letting you carry speed efficiently on the straights. When the course tightens or the surface loosens, the pronounced side knobs bite in to provide reliable mechanical grip through corners and off-road sections. It is a design that rewards an aggressive, confident riding style.

Squarer Profile for Speed and Cornering Stability

Compared to the rounder profiles of the H and M models, the RH features a squarer cross-section that widens the contact patch on the straights, maximising rolling speed on compact terrain. Through corners, that same profile delivers a confident transition onto the side knobs, giving experienced riders the predictable handling needed to push hard through technical sections of a gravel course. Whether you are racing the Victorian Cadel Evans Gravel Race or training on the back roads of the Macedon Ranges, the RH profile keeps you fast and in control.

SpeedGrip Compound

Like all of Pirelli's Racing gravel models, the Cinturato Gravel RH uses the SpeedGrip compound, a formulation developed specifically for gravel riding and inspired by the brand's deep roots in rally motorsport. SpeedGrip delivers outstanding grip on dirt roads in both dry and wet conditions, a key advantage when racing or training on the unpredictable surfaces common across regional Victoria and Australia broadly. The compound balances rolling efficiency, rider comfort and long-term durability, making it equally capable across a race or a long training day.

TechWALL Gravel Casing

The TechWALL Gravel casing underpins the RH with a robust 60 TPI fabric construction using multi-layer overlapping layers and bead-to-bead puncture protection. This structure delivers a strong balance of flat resistance, casing durability and riding comfort suited to the varied surfaces the RH is designed for. It keeps the tyre reliable and predictable whether you are hammering smooth hardpack or navigating rougher sections of a gravel race course.

Racing Model Performance

The R designation places the Cinturato Gravel RH within Pirelli's Racing model range, developed for riders who demand precision handling and maximum performance in competitive conditions. Drawing on advanced solutions from Pirelli's MTB XC racing programme, the RH brings race-level performance to experienced gravel cyclists who want a tyre capable of matching their ambitions on the most demanding gravel courses in Australia.
