Pinarello has announced the launch of two new X-Series endurance road bikes, replacing the Paris as part of an overall range shake-up.
Compared to the brand’s racier Dogma F and newly launched F-Series bikes , the X-Series features a more relaxed geometry coupled with tube designs and a carbon layup optimised for all-day comfort.
The X-Series comes in two spec levels at launch. The X1 features mechanical Shimano 105 R7020 , while the X3 is available with a choice of Shimano 105 Di2 R7170 or SRAM Rival eTap AXS .
The X1 costs €3,680, while the X3 is priced from €5,660 for the 105 Di2 version, to €6,070 for the SRAM Rival AXS model.
Model availability depends on territory. Endurance with Pinarello flavour
The X-Series is Pinarello’s answer to the modern endurance road bike , and features a new frameset design complete with a more relaxed geometry.
Compared to an equivalently sized F-Series bike, which uses the brand’s competition geometry (as seen on the Dogma F used by Team Ineos-Grenadiers), the X1 and X3 feature a 13.1mm shorter reach and 33.2mm higher stack in a size 53.However, in keeping with Pinarello’s goal of maintaining sharp handling, the head tube angle measures a racy 72 degrees, just half a degree shy of the brand’s race bikes.The chainstays measure 415mm throughout the size range. Pinarello says this is compact enough to maintain a good level of responsiveness, but nevertheless elongates the wheelbase slightly to improve stability.In contrast, the shorter, 406 to 410mm chainstays of the F-Series […]
