Durability and protection are paramount in the GRAVINE’s design. The SMARTplus compound, formulated from a higher durometer natural rubber, extends the tyre’s lifespan while preserving excellent shock absorption and grip characteristics. The advanced GANZO PPS puncture protection system incorporates a tightly woven multi-component fabric layer that guards against sharp objects, reducing the risk of punctures. Additionally, the CORAZZA ARMOUR SILVER casing reinforces the sidewalls with a double 260TPI polyester ply, providing robust protection against cuts and abrasions without compromising the tyre’s flexibility and ride comfort. Available in multiple configurations, including 40mm and 45mm widths, the GRAVINE caters to a wide range of gravel riders seeking reliability and performance.
