Explore New Roads with Pirelli's Cinturato Gravel M 650b
The Cinturato Gravel M 650b is a gravel-specific tire designed for mixed terrain, where the surface runs the gamut from luxury gravel to sloppy mud to chunky chunder and everything in between.
The Cinturato Gravel M's tread pattern features a fast-rolling centerstrip and robust shoulder lugs for plenty of tooth in the corners. Another feature of the Cinturato is the ample spacing of the lugs to facilitate shedding of mud and debris.
The properties of the new SpeedGRIP Compound are tailored for all conditions, rain or shine. The new SpeedGRIP Compound shares DNA with Pirelli's fast-rolling mountain bike line.
Coupling a reinforced woven fabric layer with a tubeless-ready Aramid bead optimized for wide modern rims, the Cinturato Gravel M tire offers an extremely high level of puncture protection, surefooted traction and legendary reliability - in an extremely fast-rolling package.

Reviews
Only one big trip on these tires so far, but ripping around near Sisters, OR was a BLAST. 650b 50cc made the flowy singletrack of Peterson Ridge feel great, and they also did well on smoother gravel and pavement. I'm looking forward to spicier adventuress with these over the summer!
Did have a bit of trouble mounting one of them, even with a blast chamber pump. Had to seat the whole thing with a tube, then take it out and reseat the one side.
This tire was difficult to mount to the rim the first time. I was dreading going back to remount it as a tubeless setup but it must have stretched a touch and was much easier. Was able to get the bead over rim with just hand pressure the 2nd time rather than needing a tire lever. They set up tubeless easy and are holding pressure really well.
The tires are great on gravel and trails. You know you got a big knobby tire when your on the road but it doesn't seem like the resistance is excessive. I would buy these again for sure.
Pros:
Fast on the road
Durable, flat resistant
Great in mud
Cons:
Heavy
I'm using this on my 56cm Open Wide. I am 5'11' 165lbs and run 29/27psi. So far zero flats. I like this tire because I can keep up with the 700c riders on the flats yet have better traction in the soft stuff. I'll go back to 700x45 in the dry seasons but for now this is my go to winter tire.
Purchased as 650x50. Smooth on the road and happy at speed on rough gravel. Have used it on gravel, washboard roads and mountain bike single track - best all around tire I have.
I think this is near the max tire volume I can fit in my 3T Exploro and I couldn't be happier with the tire itself. I was looking to max out volume and this one seemed to fit the bill. They feel very fast on pavement and have good traction off-road. They set up easily (tubeless with inserts.) I'll likely ride these on my 650b wheels for as long as I ride this bike.
