The Pirelli PZero Velo tyre will feature in Pinarello’s top-end bike model, the Dogma F10. Pirelli has confirmed its OEM partnership with the prestigious Villorba-based bike maker, whereby Pirelli will provide its PZero Velo tyres to all Pinarello Dogma F10 bicycles in the 2018/2019 catalogue.
In recent months, Pinarello has put the PZero Velo to the test, carrying out extensive road tests over many miles in the harshest conditions. Pirelli tyres reportedly delivered optimal results in rolling resistance, grip on wet and dry surfaces, ease of handling, resistance to punctures and durability.
“It is with the greatest pleasure that we announce this OEM agreement with one of the world’s most prestigious bike makers,” said Antonella Lauriola, COO of the Velo Pirelli Business Unit. “Pirelli has always been the partner of choice for the best, and this partnership with Pinarello makes us proud!”
Fausto Pinarello, President and CEO of Pinarello said “The tyres are the final and pivotal link between the bike and the asphalted surface… fitting the wrong tyres amounts to nullifying our work and compromising the performance of our bikes. Pirelli PZero is an extraordinary name on the world scene of tyres, nevertheless we had to make sure that their work and their product was right for our Dogma F10.
“Today we announce this partnership with the certainty that we have equipped our Dogma F10 bikes with the best tyres currently available on the market.”
