Pirelli Cinturato Velo

Italian Pirelli is probably best known for motorsport, where they have been the preferred supplier of tires for over 100 years. They are now bringing that experience and expertise into the cycling world with a new series of tires that build on the experience of their best motorsport tires.

The Pirelli Cinturato Velo is Pirelli's take on the perfect racing winter tire, with a combination of low rolling resistance and weight, high wear resistance, good comfort and good grip in most conditions.

SmartNET Silica Compound.

The patented rubber compound from Pirelli is taken directly from their motorsport tires and improved for use in bicycles. The special rubber compound ensures low rolling resistance, high abrasion resistance and good grip on both dry and wet roads.

Functional Groove Design.

The Pirelli Cinturato Velo has a tire pattern optimized for use on wet roads via Pirelli's FGD technology. The technology is the same that is used for the development of e.g. motorcycle tires, where grip under all conceivable conditions is paramount. The tire has a smooth centre line, as well as a pattern down the shoulders of the tire that helps to channel the water away effectively. The pattern contributes to the low rolling resistance and good road grip that characterize the Pirelli Cinturato Velo.

Armor Tech

The Armour Tech construction on the tire provides good puncture protection as it is built up in several layers and materials which together ensure increased comfort and reliability, even with low tire pressure.

The tire is tubeless ready.
