Bellettato ™ Gravel RC is the specific rubber for the Gravel Racing application, derived from the Pirelli experience in the main gravel competitions and the advice of the best athletes. A tread design inspired by that of Scorpion ™ XC RC, focused on two main features: the smoothness for the fastest sections and the side grip for curves on dirt road without support.
Characteristics
- Racing, speed, protection.
- Real weight: 522 g (700x40c).
Technologies
Speed Grip Compound
Specific formulation for the Gravel, born from the Pirelli experience in the world of rally in which the characteristics of smoothness on asphalt and grip on dirt road are crucial. This compound uses the same polymer matrix as the MTB Smartgrip compound compound, however, improving its smoothness. Gravel use requires greater speed and on/off-road versatility, for this reason the Pirelli technicians have oriented the properties of the compound towards better energy efficiency, allowing excellent performances on dirt ground and high grip both on dry and on wet. With smoothness values on any surface similar to those recorded by purely road coverings.
Tech wall gravel
With a combination of the know-how developed for the structures reinforced by the street and the experience gained in the MTB, Pirelli's technicians have created an Gravel construction that relies on both the mechanical resistance of the compound itself, and to a layer of high resistance to Cut that protects the heel heel carcass. While road drips take place mainly by penetration of pointed objects, more frequently off -road through stones or debris on the side of the rubber. For this reason, the textile material used for techwall construction is particularly resistant to cuts, in order to guarantee better resistance of the whole structure. The 120TPI Tubeless-Read carcass guarantees an optimal driving feeling without the risk of forced stops thanks to the use of specific anti-taglio fabrics. A unique mix of technologies to face any type of soil.
