The P ZERO™ Race TLR RS stands as the latest evolution within Pirelli’s renowned range of P ZERO™ Race road racing tires, proudly made in Italy. Developed in close collaboration with professional athletes from Pirelli’s World Tour teams, this tire delivers superior speed and grip performance beyond any of its predecessors. This leap forward is driven by the new SmartEVO² compound, engineered using Pirelli’s extensive motorsport expertise and advanced material technologies. The result is a formulation that enhances grip and handling on both dry and wet surfaces. Complementing this is a refined SpeedCORE™ structure, which has been lightened to improve efficiency and responsiveness. Its thin, hermetic layer of rubber compound, enriched with aramid particles, provides outstanding strength and flexibility. Together, these innovations create a tire that redefines performance for elite competitors while offering the same professional-level technology to dedicated cyclists worldwide.
The SmartEVO² compound represents Pirelli’s latest advancement in high-performance racing tire technology. Drawing from experience at the highest levels of motorsport and the demands of modern World Tour racing, it builds upon the original SmartEVO blend of three “smart” polymers. Utilizing new materials and state-of-the-art mixing processes—made possible within Pirelli’s Italian manufacturing facility near its global R&D headquarters—SmartEVO² achieves an unprecedented balance of efficiency and control. The result is improved overall grip, particularly in wet conditions, and record-level rolling resistance for its category, providing the precise performance and handling that the world’s fastest riders demand.
The SpeedCORE™ construction represents Pirelli’s most advanced tubeless-ready (TLR) technology to date. Developed and patented by Pirelli for high-performance cycling applications, SpeedCORE™ draws from decades of automotive expertise and is produced at the company’s newest facility near Milan, Italy. The design incorporates a thin, airtight rubber layer infused with aramid particles, enhancing mechanical strength, flexibility, and air retention. This unique structure contributes to superior ride quality and improved performance across all conditions, setting a new benchmark for tubeless-ready racing tires.
