Pirelli Cinturato Cross H
Low Profile. Maximum Speed.
The Pirelli Cinturato Cross H is defined by its tightly packed, low-profile tread design. By minimizing knob height along the center casing, Pirelli has created a tire that rolls with the speed of a premium road slick on asphalt and hardpack dirt. However, don’t let the smooth centre fool you. As soon as you lean your bike into a loose corner, the progressive, hook-shaped side knobs bite into the terrain, keeping you firmly on your line through off-camber sections and high-speed sweepers.
Why the Cinturato Cross H is a Fast-Terrain Favorite:
-
Speed-Optimized Tread Pattern: The low, tightly spaced center blocks reduce rolling resistance to an absolute minimum, making it incredibly easy to sustain high speeds on packed fire roads and paved transitions.
-
SmartNET™ Silica Compound: Pirelli’s proprietary rubber compound balances rolling efficiency with high wet-weather grip. It ensures you maintain traction over slick grass, damp roots, and wet tarmac without wearing out prematurely.
-
ProWALL Gravel Casing: Features a robust layer of woven nylon fabric across the sidewalls. This multi-layer reinforcement offers exceptional protection against pinch flats, sidewall cuts, and rock abrasions while maintaining a supple, compliant ride quality.
-
Tubeless-Ready Reliability: Designed for a secure TLR bead seat, allowing you to drop your tire pressures for a larger contact patch, increased comfort, and maximum traction across bumpy cyclocross courses.
-
Cross-Specific Geometry: Optimized to perform on modern wide rims, giving the tire a beautifully rounded profile that transitions seamlessly from straight-line speed to aggressive, shoulder-knob cornering.
-
Excellent Mud Shedding: Despite its tightly packed pattern, the micro-grooves and smart spacing prevent dust and light mud from packing into the tread, ensuring consistent performance.

The Alegro Perspective: If your typical race course or gravel route consists of hard-packed singletrack, baked summer clay, or a heavy mix of pavement linking the trails together, this is the tire you want. When mounted to a fast, versatile bike like the Scott Addict Gravel 30, it transforms the ride. It rolls so quietly and efficiently on the road that you'll forget you're on a dirt-ready tire until you dive into the first singletrack corner and realize just how much side grip you have.
