Pirelli P ZERO™ Race RS Road Tyre

Designed and manufactured in Italy, the Team Edition SL‑R is aimed at riders chasing marginal gains in racing, time trials, and fast group rides. It is an ideal upgrade offered through premium Brisbane bike shops and commonly recommended during race bike builds, tyre optimisation, and professional bike fitting services across Queensland.

Aerodynamics Engineered Into the Tyre

The SL‑R Team Edition features PAAS – Pirelli Advanced Aerodynamic System, a CFD‑developed tyre profile designed to improve airflow where tyre meets rim. The patent‑pending shape helps maintain attached airflow, reducing turbulence and maximising the rim sailing effect at speed.

Rather than focusing solely on tyre tread, PAAS enhances the efficiency of the complete wheel‑and‑tyre system, making it particularly effective on modern wide‑profile carbon rims commonly fitted to high‑performance road bikes in Brisbane.

LiteCORE Tubeless Construction for Record Speed

At the core of the SL‑R is LiteCORE construction, Pirelli’s lightest and fastest tubeless casing. With a supple 120 TPI structure, LiteCORE reduces energy loss while maintaining excellent road feel and comfort at race pressures.

This casing delivers:

• Exceptionally low rolling resistance
• Stable cornering support
• Improved vibration absorption for endurance efforts

It is Pirelli’s fastest tubeless platform to date.

SmartEVO² Compound for Grip and Control

The SmartEVO² compound represents Pirelli’s latest evolution in smart polymer technology, derived directly from motorsport research. Using new materials and advanced mixing processes at Pirelli’s Italian facility near its global R&D headquarters, SmartEVO² improves grip—especially on wet roads—while pushing rolling resistance to record‑low levels.

The result is precise handling, predictable braking, and race‑confidence cornering in the variety of road conditions seen across Brisbane and South East Queensland.

Built for Racing, Time Trials and Pro‑Level Training

With its slick tread, fine‑tuned micro texture, and integrated aero features, the P ZERO™ Race SL‑R TLR Team Edition is optimised for:

• Road racing and criteriums
• Time trial and triathlon setups
• High‑speed group rides
• Performance‑focused training

It pairs exceptionally well with wheelsets used in professional bike fitting, where tyre width, internal rim width, and pressure optimisation are key performance factors.
