Pirelli P Zero Race Tyre

Pirelli P Zero Race Tyre

The Pirelli P Zero Race distils the best of tube-type tyre technology into a single high-performance package suited to both hard training sessions and race day. Evolved directly from the well-regarded P ZERO Velo, the P Zero Race refines everything that made its predecessor popular and takes it further, with a new tread design developed across multiple seasons of World Tour racing, Pirelli's most advanced SmartEVO compound, and the reliable TechBELT Road casing. For road cyclists across Victoria and Australia chasing performance without the complexity of tubeless or tubular setups, the P Zero Race is a natural choice.

• Evolved World Tour tread pattern refined over multiple seasons of racing to improve bicycle handling and confidence in all weather conditions
• SmartEVO compound delivers improved grip on both wet and dry roads over previous Pirelli road cycling compounds, developed through motorsport experience and World Tour winner input
• TechBELT Road casing provides puncture protection across a wide range of conditions via a light, flexible 120 TPI construction with an added high cut-resistant fabric layer
• Tube-type convenience with race-level performance - an ideal all-rounder for high-intensity training and competitive road cycling across Australia

Tread Design

The P Zero Race tread pattern is a direct evolution of the P ZERO Velo design, refined through several seasons of research and development at the pointy end of World Tour road racing. The updated layout improves handling and rider confidence across all weather conditions, delivering predictable grip on dry summer tarmac and maintaining security on the wet roads common during Victorian autumn and winter riding. It is a tread pattern that has been tested and proven at the highest level of professional cycling before making its way onto training wheels and race builds across Australia.

SmartEVO Compound

SmartEVO is Pirelli's most capable road cycling compound to date, built on the foundation of the brand's extensive motorsport competition experience and shaped by direct input from World Tour race winners. Compared to previous Pirelli road cycling compounds, SmartEVO delivers measurably improved grip performance on both wet and dry asphalt, giving riders more confidence in mixed conditions without compromising rolling efficiency. For Australian road cyclists who train and race across variable surfaces and weather, SmartEVO provides a meaningful upgrade in grip and all-round performance.

TechBELT Road Casing

The TechBELT Road casing underpins the P Zero Race with a tube-type construction built on a 120 TPI fabric base. A secondary layer of high cut-resistant fabric is integrated into the casing structure to improve puncture resistance across a wide range of road conditions, without adding meaningful weight to the overall tyre. Light, flexible and reliable, the TechBELT casing keeps the P Zero Race feeling lively and connected underfoot while providing the day-to-day reliability that high-volume training demands on Australian roads.
