Pirelli P Zero Race RS Road Tire (Black) (700c) (28mm) (Folding) (SmartEVO²/TechBelt)

P Zero Race RS Road Tire Description:

The P Zero Race RS Road Tire is a lightweight tire that is designed to deliver incredible performance and a buttery smooth ride for riders that prefer to use tubes within their tires. Drawing on Pirelli’s extensive motorsport and cycling racing expertise, the SmartEVO² tread compound uses the finest FSC® certified natural rubber blended with polymers with “smart” characteristics to produce a durable compound with great grip, especially in wet conditions, and exceptionally low rolling resistance. Underneath that tread is a 120TPI casing that has a TechBelt puncture resistant layer under the tread for better reliability, very supple ride, and improved traction/cornering grip over irregular surfaces. Add in a very lightweight folding bead that hangs on tenaciously to the rim, and the result is a tire with unmatched quality, incredible speed, and a smooth ride that will elevate the performance of any road bike.

Notes: This tire requires a tube and cannot be set up as a tubeless tire. Additionally, this tire is not compatible with hookless rims.

Features:

• SmartEVO² compound uses innovative mixing processes to blend natural rubber content with other polymers with “smart” characteristics to produce a tire with enhanced grip, especially in the wet, and very low rolling resistance
• Natural rubber in tire accounts for the 23% of the total weight and is FSC-certified, sourced from forests or plantations that are managed sustainably to support responsible forestry practices
• 120TPI casing is very supple, helping the tire to conform to irregular road surfaces for more grip in corners and creates a smoother ride that will help a rider to conserve their energy
• TechBelt is a puncture resistant nylon reinforcement placed under the tread to improve reliability without impacting the ride quality or adding a bunch of weight
• Lightweight synthetic wire used in the folding bead is stretch resistant so the tire has a stronger hold on the rim throughout the tire’s life
• Manufactured in Milan, Italy
