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.

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 perfec 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 an high-performance chemical formulation developed for modern road cycling, from everyday training to World Tour racing. SmartEVO Compound is an exclusive feature of the P ZERO™ range

The performance, safety, comfort and reliability of your road bike depend on the tyres you use. That is why it is important to choose road bike tyres very carefully.
Road bike tyres are specifically designed for riding on tarmac, on both the dry and wet. There are various types, which have significant differences depending on the specific use and the performance required. There are even models that have different weights and sizes to choose from.
Road bike tyres should be lightweight, to offer optimal performance whichever conditions you find yourself cycling in. Wider road bike tyres offer better performance and comfort because they have a larger contact patch. Sizes can be expressed in millimeters, with two values indicating the width of the tyre and diameter of the rim, such as “25-662”. Or according to the French standard, which indicates the outer diameter of the tyre and the width of the corresponding rim, e.g. “700x23C”.
