Pirelli P Zero Velo Road Bike Tyre

5/ 5

Awesome grip and a confident composed ride

I bought these on a 28mm as a treat for a Mallorca cycle trip. My frame supposedly took 28mm but the clearance on the front fork was minimal, but just enough. I ran them on 80psi and 100psi and found them to be smoother on 80psi. We had 3 glorious days of sunshine and one very wet day. In the dry the tyres were brilliant, I found myself laying the bike over with utter confidence, the grip on these things is special, but it’s the marriage of that grip with a composed smooth ride that puts them into a different league. I was concerned over their performance in the wet, but really didn’t need to be. They did pick up a bit of gravel (the compound is quite sticky) but again the grip was exceptional, even on wet corners. On the last mountain downhill, I’d developed such confidence that I was attacking hairpin bends like I did in the dry on my old tyres. Scared the c”@p out of my mates, who thought I was going to kill myself! If only they’d been able to ride my bike, they’d have got it! These tyres actually left me with a smile on my face, and I found myself boring everyone as to how good they are.
