PIRELLI P ZERO RACE TLR RS

The P ZERO™ Race TLR RS represents the latest addition to our range of P ZERO™ Race road racing tires, made in Italy. It has been developed in collaboration with professional athletes from our World Tour teams to deliver superior speed and grip performance compared to any other tire we have created. This achievement is made possible by the new SmartEVO² compound, formulated with the know-how and latest materials used in Motorsport, ensuring further improvement in grip and handling on both dry and wet surfaces. Additionally, we have lightened the patented SpeedCORE™ structure, featuring a thin, hermetic layer of rubber compound enriched with aramid particles. The combination of these factors has made it possible to create a high-performance tire that is even faster for competitors, but also for those who wish to benefit from the same tech as the pros.

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

SMARTEVO² COMPOUND

The new SmartEVO² represents the latest advancement in our high-performance racing bicycle tyre compound, enhanced by incorporating our Motorsport expertise at the highest level and the needs of modern World Tour racing. It evolves from the SmartEVO blend of three polymers with 'smart' characteristics, utilizing new materials and innovative mixing processes, now possible at our own manufacturing plant in Italy located just close by our R&D global headquarter. This results in improved overall grip, especially on wet surfaces, and a reduced rolling resistance to record level for its category, elevating both performances and handling feelings to what the fastest World Tour racers in the world demand.

SPEEDCORE

SpeedCORE™ is an innovative tubeless-ready construction developed by Pirelli (Patent Pending) for our high-performance cycling tyres, representing our most advanced TLR technology to date. Derived from Pirelli automotive know-how and made possible by our newest production plant in Italy, nearby our Headquarter in Milan, SpeedCORE™ construction consists of a thin air-tight layer of rubber compound infused of aramid particles. This layer covers the internal part of the tyre and thanks to the presence of the aramid into the rubber blend, it allows for better mechanical resistance, improved air retention and overall greater flexibility: all contributing to the tyre's overall performance.

The performance, safety, comfort and reliability of your road bike depend on the tyres you use. That is why it is important to choose road bike tyres very carefully.

Road bike tyres are specifically designed for riding on tarmac, on both the dry and wet. There are various types, which have significant differences depending on the specific use and the performance required. There are even models that have different weights and sizes to choose from.

Road bike tyres should be lightweight, to offer optimal performance whichever conditions you find yourself cycling in. Wider road bike tyres offer better performance and comfort because they have a larger contact patch. Sizes can be expressed in millimeters, with two values indicating the width of the tyre and diameter of the rim, such as “25-662”. Or according to the French standard, which indicates the outer diameter of the tyre and the width of the corresponding rim, e.g. “700x23C”.
