The Pinarello Dogma XC with which Pauline Ferrand-Prevot has won the XCO World Cup in Nove Mesto in detail

Pauline Ferrand-Prevot has won the Nove Mesto XCO World Cup with great superiority. The world champion returned in a big way to the discipline's top competition and marks her territory with her sights set on the Paris Olympics. In this article, we analyze in detail the Pinarello Dogma XC with which she has climbed to the top of the podium.

Pauline Ferrand-Prevot's Pinarello Dogma XC: this is the bike that has dominated the Nove Mesto XCO World Cup

Pauline Ferrand-Prevot starts her second season at INEOS Grenadiers. The British team entered the category before Pinarello - which had been out of MTB for a long time - had the Dogma XC ready. The time trial had to deal with those who questioned whether the Italian manufacturer could develop a model in such a short time, although history proved those who believed in the project right: it was presented in May 2023 and the rigid version arrived in August.

Ferrand-Prevot won the XCC and XCO rings with the rigid bike, although she chose the dual suspension to compete in the Nove Mesto XCO World Cup. We take a closer look at one of the most sought-after bikes in the world.

The Dogma XC is painted with the colors of the world champion. The triangle above the bottom bracket is the most distinctive feature of the bike. The integrated handlebar and stem are signed by Most, while for the wheels, the P1 brand has equipped the Pinarello with Continental 2.4" tires.

On the other hand, as usual, the suspension is provided by SR Sountour; the RL-R shock absorber is combined with a front end that mounts an Axon fork.

The model is equipped with the Shimano XTR group which features a transmission with 12-speed cassette and a 32-tooth single chainring.
