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

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

The new generation of P Zero Race TLR is the most 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 mixed aramid compound covering the inner layer of the tire, improving both smoothness and tire resistance. Result: a less rigid but faster tire. The compound maintains the same advanced SmartEVO technology, shared with 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 top Motorsport competitions and specific collaboration with World Tour factory teams. The new SmartEVO Compound uses a blend of 3 different polymers, each providing performance in a perfect balance of opposite characteristics, such as grip and smoothness. The ternary blend 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 improving rolling resistance at the same time. SmartEVO Compound is a high-performance compound developed for the most modern disciplines of cycling, from local races or the World Tour, to epic adventures where weather and road surfaces require tires that excel in all circumstances. SmartEVO is exclusive to the P ZERO range.

SPEEDCORE

The most performing tubeless-ready road structure in the Pirelli range involves the use of a layer of aramid compound covering the inner layer of the tire, allowing for air tightness. 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 carcass is then completed by a Nylon canvas in 120tpi and by an anti-puncture layer, also in aramid.
