Pirelli introduces Cinturato EVO TLR: robust all-rounder for road, gravel and commuting

Pirelli takes another innovative step with the launch of the Cinturato EVO TLR: a new-generation all-round tubeless-ready bicycle tyre that combines comfort, durability and grip with a remarkably environmentally conscious profile. The EVO is the spiritual successor to the popular Cinturato Velo and targets the fast-growing segment between racing, gravel and daily mobility. Pirelli itself speaks of an "enduro on the road" approach - and that turns out to be no empty slogan.

All-season performance thanks to SmartEVO AS compound

The Cinturato EVO TLR has been developed based on the latest SmartEVO All Season compound. That technology is derived directly from Pirelli's motorsport department and promises excellent grip on both dry and wet surfaces. Moreover, the rubber effectively dampens vibrations and bumps - making it ideal for long journeys, changing surfaces or intensive commuting. Thanks to this new compound, Pirelli claims a life span that is 40% longer than its predecessor.

FSC™-certified and over 50% sustainable material

The Cinturato EVO TLR is Pirelli's first bicycle tyre with FSC™-certified natural rubber, combined with recycled and bio-based materials that make up more than 50% of the weight. Think rice husk silica, recycled nylon fibres and vegetable oils. For transparency, Pirelli is even introducing a special label on the sidewall, identifying products with circular materials.

Grip inspired by motorbike tyres

Striking detail: the tread design is inspired by Pirelli's Scorpion Trail III motorbike tyre. With a central slick strip and aggressively cut shoulders, the tread gives extra grip on gravel and wet strips - without compromising rolling resistance on asphalt. The tread also provides high mileage, low wear and improved tear resistance.

Suitable for any surface

With available sizes from 28 mm to 55 mm the Cinturato EVO TLR fits perfectly on modern gravel, endurance and adventure bikes, as well as wider racing frames and urban bikes. The tyre is suitable for tubeless setup on hookless rims and available in three styles: all-black, classic tanwall and retro.

Specifications in brief:

  • Tubeless-ready | hookless compatible
  • Weight: from 278 grams (28c)
  • Available in: 28, 30, 32, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 mm widths (depending on version)

  • Slick central profile with grip zones
  • Retail price: approx. €74.90 - €84.90

Conclusion

With the Cinturato EVO TLR Pirelli targets the modern cyclist who values comfort, reliability and durability over pure speed. The combination of motorbike inspiration, sustainable innovation and Italian craftsmanship makes this an interesting choice for those who want to hit the road confidently both in the city and on gravel.
