Pinarello Dogma F – Design the Distinctive
Pinarello launches the most recent incarnation of its iconic, flagship highway bike
Put together to be Stared At
It’s a problem to mix unbelievable efficiency and cutting-edge know-how with aesthetic magnificence, however that’s one thing Pinarello has repeatedly mastered since launching the very first DOGMA 22 years in the past. We’ve all the time stood out from the gang and created bikes which are completely distinctive, each when it comes to how they give the impression of being, however extra importantly, how they carry out. Kind over operate is a continuing supply of dialogue between our head designers and we consider the DOGMA F achieves the right mix of the 2.
New M40X Carbon Fibre – Elevating the Dogma to a Complete New Plain
The DOGMA F’s model new M40X carbon fiber is the results of numerous hours of testing on our X-Gentle fashions, and on INEOS Grenadiers’ bikes. This groundbreaking lay-up has an distinctive tensile module that has enabled us to take lateral stiffness to the subsequent stage.
Designed to Excel in Any State of affairs
Pinarello has by no means adopted the tendencies of different producers by attempting to persuade cyclists they want specialist bikes for each climbing, and on the flat. As an alternative, with the DOGMA, we’ve produced a single body able to delivering distinctive efficiency on any terrain, for each newbie riders and world-class professionals alike. While a lot of our rivals at the moment are reverting again to that mannequin, we by no means deviated within the first place; the DOGMA is the unique all-rounder – and the bike that has been ridden to extra Grand Tour successes than another.
Aerodynamic vs Weight: Discovering the Good Equilibrium
Over the course of a Grand Tour, a 0.2% enchancment within the coefficient of aerodynamic drag (CdA) equates to a 175g saving on the bike
To validate that principle, INEOS Grenadiers’ efficiency crew measured Geraint Thomas’s efficiency information from the 2022 Tour de France. They studied the typical vitality he was expending and balanced that with the potential financial savings he might make in several driving conditions i.e. on the flat, climbing, descending. They discovered minor enhancements in CdA and rolling resistance had been in actual fact extra precious than saving weight.
In Grand Excursions, similar to with our every day rides, it’s not all the time an uphill time trial. We’re continually driving on different terrain. Examined objectively, aerodynamic positive aspects are price greater than weight financial savings, and that’s why, with the brand new DOGMA F, we didn’t focus solely on saving weight. Sure, the brand new mannequin is 108g lighter than the earlier version however our main concern was to scale back the bike’s CdA by 0.2%.
Marginal Features – Each Element Issues
Each form, each element, each new line on the DOGMA F has been designed to scale back the CdA by 0.2%. We achieved that by making a sequence of minor but vital enhancements, all developed utilizing the most recent Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, and numerous hours within the wind tunnel.
Down Tube – Improved Aero Penetration
The down tube has been fully redesigned to scale back its thickness, bettering the frontal aerodynamic efficiency of the body and decreasing general drag.
New Aero-Keel Backside Bracket
The down tube has additionally been rotated by 3.5° to create a keel form that improves the aerodynamic efficiency of the underside bracket space by 1.2%.
Head Tube – A Slimmer, Sooner Nostril
Our distinctive head tube nostril form – which was first launched on the DOGMA F8 in 2014 and wildly copied by our rivals – has developed once more. We’ve lowered the amount and width of the nostril space by 8mm courtesy of a extra streamlined design which improves frontal aero penetration.
Headset – Now Lighter with Improved Cable Routing
To cut back the width of the pinnacle tube, we designed an progressive elliptical steering tube and fully new headset utilizing bearings of a distinct diameter, wider on the underside and narrower on the high. We additionally moved the inner cable routing from the perimeters to the entrance of the steering tube.
Through Axles – Extra Aero
New, shorter via axles. The bolt on the precise aspect of the fork has been built-in into the carbon, eliminating the earlier model’s exterior gap. The identical has been performed on the body with the mixing of the rear derailleur dropout. This resolution improves each the aerodynamic efficiency of the body, and its’ aesthetics.
New Onda Fork – Slimmer, Sooner, Even Higher Efficiency
The brand new slimmer fork design – examined by skilled riders – additionally improves aerodynamics and incorporates a 47mm rake to enhance dealing with and velocity on descents.
Built-in Seatpost Clamp – Lighter and Cleaner
Our seatpost clamp has gotten smaller and is now totally built-in contained in the seat tube. This new resolution reduces the burden, improves the design and will increase the cleanliness of the system by limiting the quantity of mud and sweat that may get inside.
New Talon Quick – Lighter, Sooner, Extra Aero
The brand new Talon Quick built-in cockpit is lighter and extra aerodynamic than ever earlier than. It incorporates a pure twisted lever place which permits riders to search out aero positions in a safer manner.
Suppose Uneven – No Compromises on this Strategy
All our frames are uneven so we are able to steadiness the upper forces being exerted on the chain aspect whereas pedaling. An uneven body creates a extra balanced response whereas pedaling.

Introducing Builders for Builders 2024
Win a Customized Bike and Help Grime Magic
The Builders for Builders Program returns for 2024, a fundraising effort benefiting the Sierra Butte Path Stewardship (SBTS). The Builders for Builders program has raised over $100,000 so far. All proceeds raised by way of this marketing campaign return to the Stewardship to assist extra trails within the Misplaced Sierra.
Every donation of a minimum of $10 made between now and July 2 is an opportunity to win a customized body handcrafted by Caletti Cycles, SyCip Bicycles, Mosaic Cycles, NeuHaus Steel Works, or Meriwether Cycles. The winner will choose the fabricator of their alternative from the checklist above to construct the body, which can then get a customized paint job outfitted with high-end parts from Paul Elements, White Industries, and WTB.
The funds will particularly assist Linked Communities, SBTS’ plan to attach 15 mountain cities by way of a 564-mile multi-use singletrack path. We not too long ago launched the 68-page Trails Grasp Plan for the undertaking, which outlines the proposed path, dubbed The Misplaced Sierra Route, in addition to plans to include constructing strategies to create Fireplace Hardened Trails to handle vegetation for wildfire mitigation. Lots of the Linked Communities path tasks are already within the works, however finishing all the undertaking would require a heavy monetary elevate. {Dollars} raised by way of fundraisers reminiscent of Builders for Builders are very important, as they carry in unrestricted funds, or funds that don’t require a pricey match or important employees sources to handle, as is customary with authorities grants.
Collectively, we are able to make extra Grime Magic within the Misplaced Sierra. The SBTS and ECHOS Communications energy builders for Builders with gracious assist from Paul Elements, White Industries, WTB, and the body builder group.
