PIRELLI P-ZERO SL-R TLR

Pirelli P ZERO™ Race TLR SL-R

The fastest and most aerodynamic road tire Pirelli has ever made.

The P ZERO™ Race TLR SL-R sits at the very top of Pirelli's road racing lineup — built for riders where speed is the only priority. Whether you're competing in a time trial, lining up at a road race, or simply chasing your limits on the weekend, this tire delivers an unmatched combination of aerodynamics, rolling efficiency, and all-condition grip.

Key Technologies

PAAS – Pirelli Advanced Aerodynamic System Developed through CFD analysis and wind-tunnel testing, PAAS creates a seamless transition between tire and rim, keeping airflow attached longer and reducing drag. The result: average savings of up to 5 watts in crosswind conditions, with peaks of up to 15 watts under specific conditions.

LiteCore Casing Pirelli's lightest and most efficient Tubeless Ready construction. A supple 2-layer under-tread / 3-layer sidewall design delivers maximum rolling efficiency — 10% lower rolling resistance compared to Pirelli's previous best — while keeping the ride smooth, comfortable, and highly responsive.

SmartEVO² Compound A motorsport-derived, three-polymer blend offering outstanding grip in both dry and wet conditions. Already a proven race winner, including Milan-Sanremo 2025 and Paris-Roubaix 2025 with Mathieu van der Poel.

Micro-Textured Slick Tread A fully slick profile with a precision micro-texture surface that optimizes airflow, enhances aerodynamics, and improves grip and road feel at high speeds.

Highlights

• Saves approximately 2 watts over the P ZERO Race TLR RS from reduced rolling resistance
• 20% aerodynamic improvement over the RS in normal wind conditions
• 15g lighter than the RS (28mm size)
• Excellent puncture resistance despite its ultra-light construction
• Optimized for modern wide rims (22–25mm internal width); hookless rim compatible
• Made in Italy using FSC™-certified natural rubber
