Pinarello DOGMA F 2024: First Look

Whereas exact bikes are nonetheless laborious to come back again by, and media samples even harder, the model new uber-bike Pinarello dogma F they does exist within the true world, and I found one correct proper right here in Vancouver at Veloholic Cycles – a retailer specializing in extreme end European and customised freeway builds.   Proper right here’s a main check out this high-end dream machine.

I rode the sooner mannequin of the Dogma on the ‘23 Maratona dles Dolomiti, and would possibly attest to the superior expertise qualities of Pinarello’s flagship line of race bikes.  It stands to motive that this one is even greater, and primarily based totally on the enhancements Pinarello has made, there’s no motive to imagine one thing a lot much less.

Ponder the F model an evolution fairly than a revolution… the Dogma line itself is comparable age at PEZCycling – turning 22 this yr.  Nevertheless with yearly the bike has improved – very like their prolonged standing sponsorship of the INEOS Grenadiers (nee Crew Sky) and it’s loads touted “marginal optimistic features” – the refinements to the Dogma F might seem small, nevertheless add as a lot as a excessive tier bike a number of individuals pays very dearly for the “privilege” to non-public. Priced at spherical $20,000Cdn {{dollars}} (US$15,000) for a full bike, it for optimistic appeals to a small group of patrons.

So whereas I haven’t however had a possibility to expertise the exact, bike – I did get to see it up shut and take a greater check out the refinements…

This Dogma F is accomplished throughout the Luxter Golf Pink paint scheme – one amongst two Luxter variations equipped – the other is blue.  

The FRAME & Toray’s New MX40 Carbon Fibre
Pinarello pays off it’s declare that the Dogma is the “distinctive all-rounder” by not offering an aero- or climbing- explicit mannequin of the bike – in its place deciding on to produce one physique kind and design to do all of it.

The physique, one of many very important eye-catching shapes throughout the peloton, is made with Toray Carbon’s latest M40X carbon fiber – which has the most effective tensile vitality of their high-modulus carbon fibres.  This allows then to make frames which could be lighter and stiffer than these made with Toray’s totally different well-known T700, T900, and T1100 iterations of carbon.  Pinarello designed their layups to make the physique measurably stiffer laterally – which implies further atmosphere pleasant vitality change from pedals and cranks to rear wheel drive.

The tube & physique shapes have been refined too.  Pinarello’s evaluation found {that a} rise in aerodynamic effectivity might probably be worth higher than saving weight and the whereas they’ve shaved spherical 100+ grams from the physique weight (to come back again in at under a kilo for the physique itself), this new model moreover reveals a reduction throughout the bike’s CdA by 0.2%.  Their spec sheet claims the completely constructed bike weighs under 15lbs.

The absolutely redesigned down tube is now thinner, nevertheless retains its distinctive kind that cradles the bottle to least disrupt airflow and cut back drag.

Re-shaping of the downtube – bottom bracket half have resulted in a 1.2% aerodynamic enchancment on this area.

Additional enhancements to the physique shapes embody reducing frontal drag with a narrower headtube – made thinner by 8mm by altering the internal cable routing from the sides to the doorway.

Streamlining the seat maintain shapes to chop again airflow disruption.  Moreover of observe is adequate home for as a lot as 30mm huge tires, nevertheless it absolutely appears to be like not lower than enough space to run 32’s if you happen to want, which the INEOS crew have been reported to be working at Paris-Roubaix.

Pinarello has appeared everywhere to chop again drag – along with integrating the correct side fork dropout into the fork and drive-side through-axle mount throughout the once more – seamless and straightforward.  The whole ONDA fork is slimmer as correctly, with rake now set at 47mm to reinforce coping with.

The seatpost clamp is smaller and completely built-in throughout the seat tube, shaving quite a lot of further grams of weight, greater sealing the world from contaminants, and easily making an attempt good and clear.

The built-in cockpit is their latest mannequin of the Talon Fast handlebar / stem design.  To tops are huge and flat – curved to go well with correctly to go well with into my fingers (I’ll guess yours too), and fashioned to produce a protected and regular platform for steering and administration.  Shaping for lever mounts is refineed as correctly, allowing for some turn-in of the levers as we’re seeing throughout the pro-peloton at present.

PAINT IT !

If this file of refinements isn’t adequate to impress your billionaire buddies on Saturday’s spin – probably the paint finish will.  I do comprehend it’s laborious to tell in these photos, nevertheless this new Luxter paint finish truly is one factor to see.

It appears translucent, and multi layered – so that counting on which implies the sunshine lands on the physique, the colors mirrored once more will be all through wider spectrum than common – giving the appears of the color really altering sooner than your eyes.  I wanted to know further about how they create a paint like this, nevertheless was suggested by Pinarello’s promoting and advertising and marketing head that it’s excessive secret.  He did affirm that they mix all the colors themselves though.

The type of paint used for that’s reported to be very pricey – I was suggested 1700 euro per kilo by provide.  In truth this supplies a considerable amount to the value of the bike, nevertheless then patrons on this realm doable aren’t too concerned with that.  Nevertheless I take into consideration getting that first scratch on the physique must be terribly painful…

The Pinarello Dogma F is obtainable as a a full assemble with SRAM, Shimano or Campagnolo groupsets, and as I mentioned – very pricey.  Availability seems pretty unusual correct now – with quite a lot of fashions sprinkled throughout the nation if you happen to might discover one.  Timing to order one can be unknown, nevertheless hey – it’s good to dream isn’t it?
