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

PIRELLI P-ZERO RACE TLR WHITE 700X26 26-622 TYRE

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 the PZERO Race TLR is the most high-performance tyre of the PIRELLI portfolio as well as being the first tyre 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 covers the inner layer of the tyre, improving both the smoothness and the durability of the tyre. Result: a less rigid but faster tyre. The compound instead keeps the same advanced SmartEVO technology, shared with the other high-performance tyres of the PZERO range.

TECHNOLOGIES

SmartEVO Compound

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

SPEEDCORE

The highest-performing tubeless-ready road structure of the Pirelli range involves the use of a layer of compound mixed with aramid that covers the inner layer of the tyre, allowing it to hold air. This new structure makes the tyre 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 Nylon tela of 120 tpi and by a puncture-resistant layer, also in aramid.
