PREPARE TO BE STARED AT
It’s a challenge to combine incredible performance and cutting-edge technology with aesthetic beauty, but that’s something Pinarello has repeatedly mastered since launching the very first DOGMA 22 years ago. We’ve always stood out from the crowd and created bikes that are totally unique, both in terms of how they look, but more importantly, how they perform. Form over function is a constant source of discussion between our head designers and we believe the DOGMA F achieves the perfect blend of the two.
NEW M40X CARBON FIBRE – ELEVATING THE DOGMA TO A WHOLE NEW PLAIN
The DOGMA F’s brand new M40X carbon fiber is the result of countless hours of testing on our X-Light models, and on INEOS Grenadiers’ bikes. This groundbreaking lay-up has an exceptional tensile module that has enabled us to take lateral stiffness to the next level.
DESIGNED TO EXCEL IN ANY SITUATION
Pinarello has never followed the trends of other manufacturers by trying to convince cyclists they need specialist bikes for both climbing, and on the flat. Instead, with the DOGMA, we have produced a single frame capable of delivering exceptional performance on any terrain, for both amateur riders and world-class professionals alike. Whilst many of our competitors are now reverting back to that model, we never deviated in the first place; the DOGMA is the original all-rounder – and the bike that has been ridden to more Grand Tour successes than any other.
AERODYNAMIC vs WEIGHT: FINDING THE PERFECT EQUILIBRIUM
Over the course of a Grand Tour, a 0.2% improvement in the coefficient of aerodynamic drag (CdA) equates to a 175g saving on the bike
To validate that theory, INEOS Grenadiers’ performance team measured Geraint Thomas’s performance data from the 2022 Tour de France. They studied the average energy he was expending and balanced that with the potential savings he could make in different riding situations i.e. on the flat, climbing, descending. They found minor improvements in CdA and rolling resistance were in fact more valuable than saving weight.
In Grand Tours, just like with our daily rides, it’s not always an uphill time trial. We’re constantly riding on varied terrain. Examined objectively, aerodynamic gains are worth more than weight savings, and that’s why, with the new DOGMA F, we didn’t focus solely on saving weight. Yes, the new model is 108g lighter than the previous edition but our primary concern was to reduce the bike’s CdA by 0.2%.
MARGINAL GAINS – EVERY DETAIL MATTERS
Every shape, every detail, every new line on the DOGMA F has been designed to reduce the CdA by 0.2%. We achieved that by making a series of minor yet important improvements, all developed using the latest Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, and countless hours in the wind tunnel.
DOWN TUBE - IMPROVED AERO PENETRATION
The down tube has been completely redesigned to reduce its thickness, improving the frontal aerodynamic performance of the frame and reducing overall drag.
NEW AERO-KEEL BOTTOM BRACKET
The down tube has also been rotated by 3.5° to create a keel shape that improves the aerodynamic performance of the bottom bracket area by 1.2%.
HEAD TUBE - A SLIMMER, FASTER NOSE
Our unique head tube nose shape - which was first introduced on the DOGMA F8 in 2014 and wildly copied by our competitors - has evolved again. We have reduced the volume and width of the nose area by 8mm courtesy of a more streamlined design which improves frontal aero penetration.
HEADSET - NOW LIGHTER WITH IMPROVED CABLE ROUTING
To reduce the width of the head tube, we designed an innovative elliptical steering tube and completely new headset using bearings of a different diameter, wider on the bottom and narrower at the top. We also moved the internal cable routing from the sides to the front of the steering tube.
THRU AXLES - MORE AERO
New, shorter thru axles. The bolt on the right side of the fork has been integrated into the carbon, eliminating the previous version’s external hole. The same has been done on the frame with the integration of the rear derailleur dropout. This solution improves both the aerodynamic performance of the frame, and its’ aesthetics.
NEW ONDA FORK - SLIMMER, FASTER, EVEN BETTER PERFORMANCE
The new slimmer fork design – tested by professional riders - also improves aerodynamics and features a 47mm rake to improve handling and speed on descents.
INTEGRATED SEATPOST CLAMP - LIGHTER AND CLEANER
Our seatpost clamp has reduced in size and is now fully integrated inside the seat tube. This new solution reduces the weight, improves the design and increases the cleanliness of the system by limiting the amount of dust and sweat that can get inside.
NEW TALON FAST - LIGHTER, FASTER, MORE AERO
The new Talon Fast integrated cockpit is lighter and more aerodynamic than ever before. It features a natural twisted lever position which allows riders to find aero positions in a safer way.
HINK ASYMMETRIC - NO COMPROMISES ON THIS APPROACH
All our frames are asymmetric so we can balance the higher forces being exerted on the chain side while pedalling. An asymmetric frame creates a more balanced response while pedalling.
