Race-day weight savings drove the development of Pirelli's P Zero Race TLR SL. Where the standard Race TLR adds a puncture-resistant belt beneath the tread for all-round durability, the SL strips that layer away and runs a thinner tread cap to cut grams. The result is a tubeless tire built specifically for events where every gram matters and conditions favor clean roads over puncture protection.

The TechWALL casing construction uses a 120 TPI density that balances suppleness with structural integrity. Pirelli developed this tire alongside World Tour teams including Mitchelton-Scott and Trek-Segafredo, with the slick tread pattern evolving through several seasons of racing feedback. The tread design emphasizes rolling efficiency and consistent handling across varying road conditions without the added drag of aggressive patterning.

SmartEVO compound handles the contact patch duties using a three-polymer formulation that Pirelli developed from their motorsport experience. Each polymer addresses different performance characteristics, with the blend targeting grip retention in both wet and dry conditions while maintaining low rolling resistance. The compound strikes a balance between opposing demands rather than optimizing purely for speed, which translates to confidence when cornering or braking.... Read More
