Pirelli Pzero Velo TT tire Designed for speed Designed for speed, drastically reducing rolling resistance and air resistance; it is the fastest and most performing tire of the PZero Velo family. Thanks to the patented SmartNET Silica® compound, able to offer exceptional grip, you can opt for this clincher even in the most extreme conditions, like never before with a time trial or triathlon tire. Features The fastest in the range: 23 mm profile to maximize aerodynamics. Maximum handling for extreme creases. Perfect response in the wet. Technologies SmartNet Silica ™ SmartNet Silica ™ is a silica-based molecule whose conformation differs from traditional silica: it is not spherical but elongated, like a "stick". The molecule has a natural tendency to order itself instead of having a random arrangement within the structure. The order leads to several advantages in terms of performance: the longitudinal arrangement has a positive effect on the smoothness of the tire, giving very high directional performance thanks also to the extreme elasticity, with a consequent decrease in heat generation and rolling resistance. Furthermore, SmartNet Silica ™ offers the great advantage of not concentrating, but of dispersing in a wide and homogeneous way within the structure: this property, added to the natural chemical affinity with water, translates into high performance on wet surfaces. The word Net included in the name is obviously not a coincidence. A further peculiarity of SmartNet Silica ™ is that of knowing how to create a real network of particles, binding other elements of the compound to itself. The stability of the molecular lattice is crucial to guaranteeing the perfect balance of performance and contributes to the natural protection against punctures, without weighing down the structure of the tire and extending its duration over time.
