Cutting-edge SmartEVO2 compound
The SmartEVO2 compound is Pirelli's most advanced race compound and consists of three different polymers whose perfect blend makes for optimal performance. This compound is used by the professional riders of Lidl-Trek and other teams, and offers optimal grip in addition to low rolling resistance. As such, it gives you perfect control of your bike in all weather conditions. This tyre will make you feel confident on dry as well as wet surfaces.
Enhanced TechBELT Road Construction
The TechBELT Road Construction offers exceptional performance by incorporating an extra layer of cut-resistant material under the tread. It ensures superior puncture protection in various riding conditions. The combination with a 120 TPI nylon carcass ensures an optimal balance between comfort and weight. This technology allows you to meet the challenges of any ride without sacrificing speed or traction, essential for any serious cyclist.
Performance and weight benefits
Compared to the previous P Zero Race road bike tyre, this new version has improved a lot in terms of speed, weight and grip! For example, in addition to lower rolling resistance, it also offers lower weight - the 18 mm version weighs just 230 grams. These improvements make the P Zero Race RS an ideal choice for competitive riders looking for a tyre that offers performance and reliability. With this tyre, you will be prepared for every ride and every race, knowing that you have the best technologies working for you throughout your ride.
• 700x26c / 26-622: 210 g
• 700x28c / 28-622: 230 g
• 700x30c / 30-622: 245 g
The weight stated by the manufacturer may differ from the actual weight. The deviation is usually small and is due to variations in the manufacturing process.

Fast, but goes bad faster than cream in the sun
Rides like a dream, definitely the fastest tyre on the market. BUT: lasts a maximum of 300 km under normal road use. After that, you can actually throw the tyre away. I rode the tyre on two one-day stages, exclusively on good asphalt. After that, the tyre had hundreds of small cracks and fissures and was practically unusable. Unfortunately, Mantel didn't want to meet me with a guarantee and argued that sunlight shortens the life of the tyre. I don't know how to protect a tyre from the sun when riding a road bike, but apparently Pirelli markets this tyre to the general public, but based on my experience it was developed more for professional teams who dispose of it after a stage. Not recommended unless you're happy to throw away €80.

Very fast tyre that can justify its high price tag
Very fast tyre and easy to roll and you can see that is the priority. Performance in focus and longevity in the back of your mind. You definitely get what you pay for if it is performance you are looking for. Always a plus when the tyre is easy to mount and does not require tools.
