Pirelli P ZERO™ Race TLR SL-R

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

compound
The new SmartEVO² represents the latest advancement in our high-performance racing bicycle tyre compound, enhanced by incorporating our Motorsport expertise at the highest level and the needs of modern World Tour racing. It evolves from the SmartEVO blend of three polymers with 'smart' characteristics, utilizing new materials and innovative mixing processes, now possible at our own manufacturing plant in Italy located just close by our R&D global headquarter. This results in improved overall grip, especially on wet surfaces, and a reduced rolling resistance to record level for its category, elevating both performances and handling feelings to what the fastest World Tour racers in the world demand.

structure
LiteCore is our fastest TLR casing: engineered to provide maximum rolling efficiency at low weight, while offering high suppleness to enhance comfort, grip, and road feel. A Tubeless Ready construction developed to ensure low rolling resistance and a superior riding sensation.

structure
PAAS is Pirelli’s advanced aerodynamic technology, developed through CFD analysis and wind‑tunnel testing to increase the efficiency of the tyre+wheel system. Its patent‑pending profile creates a seamless transition between tyre and rim, keeping airflow attached longer, reducing flow separation, and maximizing the sailing effect for lower drag. Designed for modern wide rims, PAAS delivers stable airflow, measurable aerodynamic gains, and consistent performance over time, even as the tyre wears. The result is a faster, more efficient and more stable system with an ideal balance of aerodynamics, grip, comfort and rolling resistance.
