Pirelli P ZERO™ Race RS Classic Road Tyre
The Pirelli P ZERO™ Race RS Classic is the most performance‑focused clincher tyre in the P ZERO™ Race lineup, developed for riders who prioritise speed, low weight, and race‑level handling. Designed in collaboration with World Tour athletes, the Race RS Classic delivers sharper road feel, higher efficiency, and reduced rolling resistance compared to the standard P ZERO™ Race, making it ideal for competitive riding and high‑intensity training.
Available through leading Brisbane bike shops, this tyre is a preferred choice for cyclists fine‑tuning race bikes, upgrading wheels, or working with professional bicycle service and fitting specialists across Queensland.
Pure Racing Performance with Lower Rolling Resistance
The P ZERO™ Race RS Classic is engineered for maximum speed with minimal compromise. By focusing on lightweight casing construction and a refined racing compound, it delivers faster rolling and more responsive acceleration, particularly noticeable during attacks, climbs, and sprint finishes.
When paired with Pirelli SmarTUBE TPU inner tubes, riders benefit from extremely low system weight and enhanced efficiency—perfect for fast Brisbane group rides and race day setups.
SmartEVO² Compound for Grip and Confidence
At the heart of the Race RS Classic is SmartEVO², Pirelli’s most advanced road tyre compound. Built using motorsport‑derived smart polymers and produced at Pirelli’s Milan facility near its global R&D headquarters, this compound delivers:
- Improved grip, especially on wet roads
- Predictable cornering at speed
- Class‑leading low rolling resistance
The result is confident handling and precise braking, even when road conditions change quickly.
TechBELT Road Casing for a True Race Feel
The tyre uses TechBELT Road construction, a 120 TPI tube‑type casing reinforced with a lightweight anti‑puncture layer. This added protection does not compromise suppleness, preserving the responsive, connected feel expected from a top‑tier race clincher.
This balance makes the P ZERO™ Race RS Classic well suited to Queensland road conditions where speed and durability must coexist.
Made in Italy with Responsible Materials
Manufactured in Italy, the P ZERO™ Race RS Classic reflects Pirelli’s commitment to quality and innovation. The tyre includes FSC®‑certified natural rubber, supporting responsible sourcing while maintaining elite performance standards.
Ideal for Competitive and Performance‑Focused Riding
The P ZERO™ Race RS Classic is optimised for:
- Road racing and criteriums
- Fast group rides and training
- Lightweight climbing setups
- Riders who prefer clincher tyres over tubeless
It is frequently recommended during bike fitting and race preparation services in Brisbane, where tyre width and pressure are optimised for speed and comfort.
