pirelli castelli.jpgPirelli launch online shop for their new tyres and announce Castelli kit collaboration
Pirelli have now launched their own online web shop, velo.pirelli.com, specifically for the cycling arm of their business. They have also announced a collaboration with Castelli for some new race kit, and new off-road tyres are coming soon.
Review: Pirelli P Zero Velo folding tyre
12 of the best Italian road bikes
You can already buy Pirelli's road tyres through various bike shops and online retailers, and they're now also selling direct in the UK, Germany, Italy, France, Spain and Belelux. Currently available are the P Zero Velo TT, P Zero Velo and P Zero Velo 4S, of which the silver-label Velo received highly positive feedback when reviewed on road.cc. All the tyres are clincher only.
Already able to preview on the Pirelli web shop are the urban and mtb ranges, however these are still yet to hit the market. The Capsule collection apparel range is a collaboration with Castelli, that Pirelli say is high-tech gear adapted to their "unique identity". The Climber's 2.0 jersey aims to offer maximum breathability to help with tough mountain climbs and keep you cool on summer rides. The top-of-the-range Aero Race 5.1 jersey is fully aero-focussed, with Pirelli claiming the fabrics save up to 22 watts at 40km/h in the wind tunnel compared to a normal bike jersey: big claims. We don't have prices yet, but we're hedging our bets that the gear won't come particularly cheap.
You can take a look at Pirelli's online shop here.

He worked across all areas of the website including tech, news and video, and also contributed to eBikeTips before being named Editor of road.cc in 2021 (much to his surprise). Jack has been hooked on cycling since his student days, and currently has a Trek 1.2 for winter riding, a beloved Bickerton folding bike for getting around town and an extra beloved custom Ridley Helium SLX for fantasising about going fast in his stable. Jack has never won a bike race, but does have a master's degree in print journalism and two Guinness World Records for pogo sticking (it's a long story).

I love how wannabe racer reviewers talk about fork flex under braking like their tyres are made of glue. I find traction gives long before fork flex.

Fair comments. I'll put my hands up and say I got the wrong end of the stick with this one. ¡Feliz navidad! Here's a pic for the season of goodwill.

Its a free website you bunch of Muppets. Stop moaning and politely point out any errors or go elsewhere!!
This, I believe, is what has been done (except the leaving bit).
Ah, the 'If you don't like it, you can leave,' argument. You know what Jim Jefferies says to that; "No."
Don't be so hard, everyone has to start somewhere. Hopefully the twelve year old that wrote this won't be put off by the negative comments.

They should edit, its their job this "we will probaly................."
Should this have been published guys? Poor spelling, bad grammar, parts that make little sense and finishing mid-sentence like this.
Did someone push the button too early?
