Escapa presents thePirelli P Zero Race Retro 700 tire, a 700c road tire designed for competition, combining elite performance with a classic “tan wall” style. Its SmartEVO compound and TechBELT Road protection ensure exceptional speed, superior grip in all conditions, and the reliability essential for intense races and training sessions.
Features:
- Type: Tubeless Ready (TLR), allowing for tubeless installation using sealant. This setup is critical for performance, as it enables riding at lower pressures for better grip and comfort, reduces rolling resistance, and minimizes pinch flats.
- "Retro" Aesthetics: It stands out for its tan-colored sidewalls, which give it a classic, elegant look that’s very popular among cyclists seeking a touch of vintage style on their high-performance bikes.
- Rubber Compound: It uses Pirelli’s SmartEVO Compound. This is Pirelli’s most advanced road rubber compound, developed to maximize grip (in both dry and wet conditions), speed, and durability in an optimal balance. It is a three-layer compound that adapts its properties to different areas of the tire.
- Tread Design: The tread is generally smooth in the center for minimal rolling resistance and features a micro-pattern or subtle grooves on the shoulders to improve grip when leaning and in wet conditions.
- Puncture Protection: It incorporates TechBELT Road technology. This is a reinforcing layer that extends beneath the tread, made of a cut-resistant material, which offers reliable protection against punctures without adding excessive weight or compromising the flexibility of the casing—a crucial factor for a Carrera tire.
