Pirelli P Zero Race tyre

NEW P ZERO RACE - 100% Made in Italy

The new P ZERO RACE are the first PIRELLI product made entirely in Italy, in the new Bollate factory.

P ZERO™ Race is made to offer all the advantages of tube technology in a multi-purpose, race-ready tyre that outperforms any bike tyre that has been made so far, including tubulars. P ZERO™ Race combines the advantages of tube technology with an all-rounder cycling tyre for intense training sessions and racing. The TechBELT Road casing improves puncture reliability without making the tyre heavier, while the special SmartEVO Compound improves dry and wet grip performance over our previous cycling compounds.

Technologies

SmartEvo compound
The most advanced racing formulation for road use ever, born from Pirelli's experience in top Motorsport competitions and specific collaboration with World Tour factory teams. The new SmartEvo Compound uses a compound of 3 different polymers, each providing performance in a perfect balance of opposing characteristics, such as grip and smoothness. The ternary blend of polymers with "intelligent" behavioural characteristics as the basis for the outstanding properties of the SmartEvo Compound enables better grip on dry and wet surfaces, while improving rolling resistance. SmartEvo Compond is a high-performance compound tuned for the latest cycling disciplines, from local or World Tour races to epic adventures where the climate and road surfaces demand tyres that excel in all circumstances. SmartEvo is exclusively for use on the P ZERO range.

TechBELT Road
120tpi and 60tpi casing with the addition of an anti-puncture nylon reinforcement layer underneath the tread makes it an extremely reliable configuration that guarantees high levels of comfort for all types of use, from training to daily commuting. The TechBelt Road structure is exclusive to the P ZERO range.

Optimised for modern 19C wheels
Pirelli P Zero Race has been developed and optimised for the new 19C inner canal rims, the best performance is obtained according to the rim size and rider's weight with which to calculate the optimum usage pressure. Due to the construction and adaptation to the most up-to-date standards, each P ZERO Race size has a wider tread than the corresponding P ZERO Velo: a wider and more elongated footprint, which benefits smoothness, puncture protection and control when cornering.
