Hardtail mountain bikes don't seem to be living their best moment if we take a look at the models chosen by the majority of bikers in any Cup or World Championship. But the truth is that the 2023 Short Track and XCO World Championship has been won, once again, with a hardtail. This is Pauline Ferrand-Prevot's Pinarello Dogma XC HT.

The Pinarello Dogma XC HT was presented on Thursday and three days later it has already won 2 World Championships.

Pauline Ferrand-Prevot's brand-new Pinarello Dogma XC HT in detail

Pinarello was forced to develop a full suspension mountain bike when Tom Pidcok arrived at INEOS Grenadiers a couple of seasons ago, the time limit was the Paris 2024 Olympics and although it seemed rushed they took it upon themselves to make it happen with the Pinarello Dogma XC presented a few months ago. But if that already seemed like a record, the order went up a notch when Pauline Ferrand-Prevot joined the team earlier this year and asked the Italian manufacturer to also have a hardtail mountain bike for their OG preparation.

Few mistakes are allowed in such a cut, but Ferrand-Prevot proved that it is still possible to be the fastest on this type of track with a hardtail.

 

Pinarello delivered again and in a stratospheric time has manufactured the Pinarello Dogma XC Hardtail that was presented earlier this week. If all this story already seems incredible, Pauline has given this bike the best possible debut and has won with it 2 World Championships in just 3 days, the Short Track and XCO.

The front triangle is the same as the full version and the triangle over the bottom bracket maximizes stiffness.

 

With a hardtail bike Pauline Ferrand-Prevot proved to be by far the fastest on a course that although not overly technical, it had several big jumps, uphill root zones and a tremendous cut where most bikers would not even consider going down with a hardtail.

That central triangle seems to be the key to making the Pinarello DOGMA XC perform as well as they say it does.
Pinarello has recycled its asymmetrical brace technology to provide greater stiffness to the left side of the rear triangle and compensate for pedaling forces, and the double-height linkage allows for greater absorption.
Pinarello completed the development of a hardtail in record time and Pauline has given it 2 World Championships in the week of its premiere.
Most, Pinarello's component brand, also has new handlebars on the new Dogma XC. The fork features SR Suntour's new electronic suspension.
The Priceton P1 carbon wheels are also a prototype not yet officially launched.
