Pirelli's off-road expertise offers a range of tyres to help you have more fun on dry or wet roads. With a broad and successful off-road pedigree ranging from World Rally Championship titles to Motocross titles, Pirelli knows a thing or two when it comes to tackling challenging off-road terrain without sacrificing rolling efficiency and mileage. With the gravel track Cinturato, you can forget about the weather and flat tyres and just focus on riding longer, more comfortably and exploring new territories of the driving experience.

GRIP

The properties of Pirelli's new compound formulation SpeedGRIP are tuned to any weather condition, whether the terrain is dry or not wet. While developing the Scorpion ™ MTB rubber formulation
-SmartGRIP- the new SpeedGRIP compound maintains the same polymer matrix and improves rolling efficiency. The need for more speed or mileage for the same effort on gravel, with a combination of asphalt, gravel and aggressive terrain and a mix of uses - from racing to packing
to adventuring - prompted Pirelli engineers to develop this new optimisation rubber for better energy management. The SpeedGRIP compound retains the same tear resistance as its MTB counterpart (SmartGRIP) and has high chemical grip (also known as wet grip). More efficient energy management reduces rolling resistance to a level very close to that of pure road racing tyres.
