Once they decided to make 'World Cup' race tires, things changed at Pirelli. Here's what happens when big resources go to making fast tires!
Pirelli’s new “Race Level” DH and Enduro tires, in development for almost two years, were the secret to getting more resources poured into the Velo division, and it shows.
The DH tires gets rigid beads with a 2-ply 60tpi casing, plus a third DUAL WALL+ sidewall layer. That extra textile layer on the DH adds more lateral stiffness, too. All that adds about 150g more than the EN version.M for… All Around? The Race tires get a new dual-compound design puts a harder rubber underneath the tread blocks, and a softer compound for the knobs. The outer compound is the same across the tire, for both center and side knobs, because they wanted the grip and feel to remain consistent at all angles.
Pirelli lists both the EN and DH tires as using the same 42a SmartEVO DH compound, however they seemed to wear quite differently during the press event we attended.
