The Pirelli P ZERO™ Race RS Retro combines cutting‑edge racing performance with a distinctive retro sidewall finish, delivering the fastest clincher tyre in Pirelli’s road range without sacrificing style. Developed in collaboration with World Tour riders, the Race RS Retro offers improved speed, reduced rolling resistance, and superior grip compared to the standard P ZERO™ Race, while adding a classic look suited to premium road bike builds.

Available through leading Brisbane bike shops, this tyre is a popular choice for riders refining race setups, upgrading wheel systems, or working with professional bicycle service and fitting specialists across Queensland.

Race‑Focused Performance for Maximum Efficiency

The P ZERO™ Race RS Retro is optimised for pure racing efficiency. Lightweight construction and a refined casing profile deliver noticeably faster acceleration and smoother rolling, particularly valuable for criteriums, endurance racing, and fast group rides around Brisbane.

When paired with Pirelli SmarTUBE TPU inner tubes, the Race RS Retro achieves an exceptionally low system weight, maximising responsiveness and road feel under race conditions.

SmartEVO² Compound for Grip and Control

At the core of the tyre is SmartEVO², Pirelli’s most advanced high‑performance road compound. Developed using motorsport‑inspired smart polymers and manufactured at Pirelli’s Italian facility near its global R&D headquarters, SmartEVO² provides:

Enhanced grip, especially on wet roads
Predictable handling through high‑speed corners
Class‑leading low rolling resistance

This balance gives riders the confidence to push harder while maintaining precise braking and control.

TechBELT Road Casing with Classic Feel

The Race RS Retro uses TechBELT Road construction, a 120 TPI tube‑type carcass reinforced with a lightweight anti‑puncture layer. This structure preserves the supple ride feel expected from a race clincher while offering increased reliability for high‑intensity training and racing.

The retro sidewall design adds timeless aesthetics without compromising performance, making it ideal for classic‑inspired builds and modern carbon frames alike.

Made in Italy with Responsible Materials

Manufactured in Pirelli’s Milan facility, the P ZERO™ Race RS Retro reflects premium Italian craftsmanship and rigorous quality control. The tyre incorporates FSC®‑certified natural rubber, supporting responsible sourcing while maintaining elite racing performance.

Ideal for Racing and Performance‑Focused Riding

The P ZERO™ Race RS Retro is best suited to:

Road racing and criteriums
Fast group rides and race training
Lightweight climbing and sprint setups
Riders preferring high‑performance clincher tyres

It is frequently recommended during bike fitting and tyre optimisation services in Brisbane, where tyre width, pressure, and casing choice directly influence comfort and efficiency.
