Cinturato Velo TLR

What's the secret to our tyres? Let's take a look at some of the motorsport-derived technologies applied to our cycling tyres.

Pirelli's previous experience and the relability of SmartNET™ Silica technology, combined with the tubeless-ready comfort and the resistance of the Armoud Tech™ technology, facilitated the creation of a new clincher tyre with a unique DNA - perfect for long-distances and various terrains: - Armour Tech™ construction combines a Nylon bead-to-bead high density layer to an aramid breaker and aramid fibers dispersed into the tread, resulting in a new level of protection against the worst road conditions which has never been achieved before - SmartNET™ Silica rubber compound guarantees safe rides and confidence-inspiring handling even in harsh conditions - Sizes from 26-622 up to 35-622 make it ready for Granfondo riding as well as long adventures rides, all in a tube and/or tubeless-ready configuration Cinturato Velo TLR is compatible with hookless rims according to ETRTO 5bar/73psi max pressure limit.

Pirelli SmartNET™ Silica technology delivers high rolling efficiency, thanks to its natural anisotropic orientation, which reduces heating while increasing elasticity, to help minimise energy dissipation.
Enjoy highly reliable wet grip. The wide surface of the silica rod molecules enhances its natural water affinity, delivering confident handling on wet.
Puncture resistance and extensive mileage. Pirelli’s SmartNET™ Silica compound features microscopic rod-shaped particles, that are arranged systematically, rather than chaotically, creating a strong, long-lasting tyre.

The Armour Tech™ is a patented casing derived from the Motorsport experience of Pirelli: a unique mix of Kevlar® fibers in the compound which creates a chemical barrier against punctures together with a layer of fabric that goes from bead to bead that increases the ability to resist against penetration from every angle and an extra layer of anti-puncture fabric under the tread. The 60tpi tubeless-ready casing is specifically designed for road-endurance application, exclusively patented for Pirelli. The tubeless-ready configuration provides extra suppleness and better speed to a unique casing in its category.
