While Pirelli is perhaps best known for its involvement in motorsports, specifically as the tyre sponsor and supplier of Formula One, the company also makes a range of tyres for bicycles. The Italian multinational company offers a wide range of road, MTB, city and gravel tyres. Cars and bicycles may have very different requirements when it comes to tyres, but the two share many of the same design elements: puncture resistance, blending speed and traction, as well as resilience against degradation.
The Cinturato range of tyres comprises Pirelli’s gravel catalogue and offers a particularly wide variety of different treads and compounds available at multiple price points. The Cinturato Gravel H, as tested here, is available in both 700c and 650b diameters in several widths, tread compounds, casings and colours.
