Pirelli P ZERO Race 700x28c Black Road Tire

The Pirelli P ZERO Race is one of the most appreciated performance road tires in the Pirelli lineup, developed to deliver an excellent balance between speed, grip and durability.

It benefits from Pirelli’s motorsport and World Tour racing experience to provide high-level performance for both racing and demanding training rides. 

This 700x28c Black version is one of the most popular choices in modern road cycling thanks to its balance of comfort, control and rolling efficiency.

SmartEVO compound

The P ZERO Race uses the SmartEVO compound developed by Pirelli to provide excellent performance in both dry and wet conditions.

The construction is designed to improve:

• Cornering grip
• Rolling efficiency
• Ride feel
• Long-distance reliability
• Overall durability

The 120 TPI TechBELT Road casing helps maintain a smooth and precise ride feel without sacrificing comfort. 

Why choose 700x28c

The 700x28c size is now considered one of the best-balanced standards for modern road bikes.

It provides:

• More comfort than 25c tires
• Excellent high-speed stability
• Improved grip on rough roads
• Very efficient rolling performance
• Lower pressures compared to narrower tires

Many cyclists now prefer 28c tires because they improve comfort and control without reducing overall speed. 

Ride feel

The P ZERO Race delivers a smooth and predictable ride feel with excellent cornering support and precise handling.

It is especially appreciated by riders looking for a fast tire suitable both for racing and long-distance training rides.

Rider feedback frequently highlights strong grip and improved comfort compared to older narrow high-pressure road setups. 

Black colorway

The full black finish gives the bike a clean, modern and race-inspired appearance.

It matches perfectly with both endurance and aggressive performance bike builds.
