ZERO™ Race SL-R is the latest and most advanced tyre in the P ZERO™ Race road-racing range.

Developed with pure speed in mind, it has been engineered with aerodynamic optimization features (PAAS - Pirelli Advanced Aero System), featuring patent-pending technologies designed to reduce flow separation and maximize the rim sailing effect ultimately lowering overall aerodynamic drag.

P ZERO™ Race SL-R introduces the new LiteCore construction, Pirelli’s lightest and most efficient TLR casing, delivering an exceptionally supple ride feel and outstanding rolling-resistance performance. The SmartEVO² compound ensures excellent grip and control in both dry and wet road conditions. Made in Italy with its slick design, fine-tuned micro texture and integrated aero features, PZERO™ Race SL-R represents the fastest of the P ZERO™ Race range for road and time trial racing.

Compound: SmartEVO2 Our most advanced smart-polymers blend dervied from Pirelli's motorsport know-how.  It evolves from the SmartEVO blend of three polymers with 'smart' characteristics, utilizing new materials and innovative mixing processes, now possible at our own manufacturing plant in Italy located just close to our R&D global headquarters. This results in improved overall grip, especially on wet surfaces, and a reduced rolling resistance to record level for its category, elevating both performances and handling feelings to what the fastest World Tour racers in the world demand.

Structure: LITECORE: Tubeless ready construction engineered to provide the best rolling eddiciency at low weight. The fastest and most compliant TLR casing in our range. Developed to deliver low rolling and the optimal supplenness to provide enhanced comfort and grip.

PAAS = PIRELLI ADVANCED AERODYNAMIC SYSTEM: CFD-developed technology that includes multiple aerodynamic features aimed to increase the efficiency of the Tyre + Wheel system. Patent pending profile shape to create seamless connection with the rim to keep the airflow attached, designed to work at its best with modern wide rims.
