Pirelli has launched the P ZERO Race TT, billed as a top-performing clincher tyre. It is produced in the renovated Pirelli plant of Bollate, just outside Milan, Italy, and completes the racing tyre range by taking over from the P ZERO Velo TT.
The original P ZERO Velo TT had marked Pirelli’s return to the cycling world in 2017.
The new P ZERO Race TT is claimed to be the smoothest and lightest clincher tyre of the entire P ZERO Race range, designed to meet the requirements of the World Tour teams backed by Pirelli, combined with the ultra-light Pirelli SmarTUBE inner tubes.
Teams such as the US Trek-Segafredo or the French AG2R have already chosen P ZERO Race TT for some 2022 stages of the Vuelta and the Tour de France.
The tread of the newRace TT is based on the SmartEVO compound characterizing the P ZERO family, developed to offer a low rolling resistance, control at top speeds and grip.
Unlike its predecessor, the new Race TT’s tread is not ‘slick’. Its design is that of P ZERO Race, thereby claiming to enhance driveability and cornering control. In comparison to this product though, the new tyre is 5% lighter and features a claimed 15% lower rolling resistance.
P ZERO Race TT is available for purchase, in the sizes of 26-622 and 28-622.
