PIRELLI P ZERO RACE TLR TIRE 700x28 28-622

PIRELLI P ZERO RACE TLR TIRE 700X28 28-622

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

The new generation of PZERO Race TLR is the most high-performing tire in the PIRELLI portfolio as well as being the primo tire with tubeless technology entirely made in Italy. The introduction of the new SPEEDCORE technology in the 120 tpi casing involves the use of a compound mixed with aramid that coats the inner layer of the tire, improving both rolling efficiency and durability of the rubber. Result: a less rigid but faster tire. The compound, however, retains the same advanced SmartEVO technology, shared with the altri high-performance PZERO tires of the gamma.

TECHNOLOGIES

SmartEVO Compound

The most advanced racing formulation for road use ever, nata from Pirelli’s experience in top Motorsport competitions and from 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 opposing characteristics, such as grip and rolling. The ternary blend of polymers with “intelligent” behavior characteristics as base of the exceptional properties of the SmartEvo compound allows better grip on dry and wet, while improving rolling resistance. SmartEVO Compound is a high-performance compound tuned for the most modern cycling disciplines, from local races or the World Tour to epic adventures where climate and road surfaces require tires that excel in all circumstances. SmartEVO is for exclusive use of the gamma P ZERO.

SPEEDCORE

The most high-performing tubeless-ready road structure in the Pirelli gamma involves the use of a layer of compound mixed with aramid that coats 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 tela in Nylon at 120 tpi and by an anti-puncture layer, also in aramid.
