PIRELLI P ZERO RACE TLR 700X26 26-622 BLACK TIRE

The new P Zero Race TLR tires are the first PIRELLI product with tubeless technology entirely made in Italy, in the new factory in Bollate.

The new generation of PZERO Race TLR is the highest performing tire in the PIRELLI portfolio and the first tire with tubeless technology entirely made in Italy. The introduction of the new SPEEDCORE technology in the 120tpi casing involves the use of a mixture mixed with aramid that covers the inner layer of the tire, improving both the smoothness and the resistance of the tire. Result: a less rigid but faster tire. The compound instead maintains the same advanced SmartEVO technology, shared with the other high-performance tires in the PZERO range.

TECHNOLOGIES

SmartEVO Compound

The most advanced racing formulation for road use ever, born from Pirelli's experience in the highest motorsport competitions and specific collaboration with World Tour factory teams. The new SmartEVO Compound uses a mixture of 3 different polymers, each of which provides performance in a perfect balance of opposite characteristics, such as grip and smoothness. The ternary mixture of polymers with "intelligent" behavior characteristics as the basis of the exceptional properties of the SmartEvo compound allows for better grip on dry and wet surfaces, while also improving rolling resistance. SmartEVO Compound is a high-performance compound developed for the most modern cycling disciplines, from local races or the World Tour, to epic adventures where the climate and road surfaces require tires that excel in all circumstances. SmartEVO is exclusively used in the P ZERO range.

SPEEDCORE

The most performing tubeless-ready road structure in the Pirelli range involves the use of a layer of mixture mixed with aramid that covers the inner layer of the tire allowing air retention. This new structure makes the tire more resistant, thanks to the presence of aramid, but at the same time less rigid and faster, due to the greater flexibility of the compound compared to a bead-to-bead fabric. The casing is then completed by a 120tpi Nylon canvas and an anti-puncture layer, also in aramid.
