ABOUT:

P ZERO™ Race combines the advantages of the tube-type technology in an all-round cycling tyre for high-intensity training sessions and races. The TechBELT Road carcass improves reliability against punctures, without impacting the weight of the tyre, whilst the special SmartEVO Compound enhances grip on both wet and dry asphalt compared to our previous cycling compounds.

I had never tried the P ZERO™ Race and P ZERO™ SmarTUBE set-up, so the limited weight was a pleasant surprise. When it comes to speed and reactivity, it falls between the tubeless-ready and the tubular - a perfect combination for the Grand Tour mountain stages.

What's the secret to our tyres? Let's take a look at some of the motorsport-derived technologies applied to our cycling tyres

So far the most advanced racing chemical formulation for road use, it was born from the Motorsport experience of Pirelli and the collaboration with the factory World Tour teams. The new SmartEVO Compound features a single-compound formulation based on three different polymers, each of which provides opposite performances in a perfect blend. The advanced mixture of polymers with 'smart' behaviors are the key elements of the SmartEVO Compound, providing better grip and rolling resistance in any weather condition. The SmartEVO Compound is a high-performance chemical formulation developed for modern road cycling, from everyday training to World Tour racing. SmartEVO Compound is an exclusive feature of the
