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

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

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

The new generation of PZERO Race TLR is the most 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 120tpi casing involves the use of a compound mixed with aramid that coats 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 tires in the gamma PZERO ad alte prestazioni.

TECHNOLOGIES

SmartEVO Compound

The most advanced racing formulation for road use ever, nata from Pirelli’s experience in the highest Motorsport competitions and from specific collaboration with World Tour factory teams. The new SmartEVO Compound uses a blend of 3 different polymers, each of which provides performance in a perfect balance of opposing characteristics, such as grip and smoothness. The ternary blend of polymers with “intelligent” behavioral 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 demand tires that excel in all circumstances. SmartEVO is for exclusive use of the gamma P ZERO.

SPEEDCORE

The most performing road tubeless-ready 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 its 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 in 120tpi and by an anti-puncture layer, also in aramid.
