SpeedGRIP Compound

The SpeedGRIP Compound is a gravel-specific rubber formulation born from the Pirelli experience in the World Rally Championship where the performances of speed and grip on and off-road are crucial. This chemical formulation relies on the polymer matrix of the MTB-specific SmartGRIP Compound while lowering its rolling resistance. The gravel application requires good speed and on-off road capabilities, so Pirelli's engineers tweaked the compound features towards better energy efficiency with a little compromise on the grip. The result is a predictable compound with solid performances on and off-road.

TechWALL Gravel Structure

Pirelli engineers combined the technologies derived from road-specific reinforced casings with the MTB-specific casings to obtain their most advanced gravel casing. Its superior performances are obtained with the use of special fabric reinforcements and thicker layers of rubber in specific areas of the tire. On the road, the majority of punctures are caused by the penetration of sharp objects, while off-road the most common punctures are caused by sidewall cuts. For this reason, the TechWALL Gravel casing features a cut-resistant 120tpi fabric all over the perimeter of the tire that still offers a supple ride feel.

Tubeless-ready design

Tubeless-ready Aramid bead is optimized for wide modern rim designs, letting you run lower tire pressure for new levels of performance and grip.

Official tire sponsor of Trek-Segafredo

The Trek-Segafredo road race team likes to ride fast— like, really fast. That’s why Pirelli partnered with the road race team as their official bike tire sponsor. No matter where Trek-Segafredo is racing or training, Pirelli’s premium tires can keep up.
