Pinarello F1 2025: the most affordable of the exclusive F series

Road 20/11/24 10:00 Migue A.

Having a Pinarello with performance close to that offered by the Dogma F used by the cyclists of INEOS Grenadiers is now more affordable after the brand presented the new Pinarello Dogma F1, which maintains the lines of the rest of the range but uses a more modest carbon and assembly to make it accessible to a wider audience.

Competition genetics at the best price with the new Pinarello F1

Pinarello has always been accompanied by an aura of exclusivity and top-of-the-line bikes that, despite not being much more expensive than other bikes in the same range in their top-of-the-line models, the Italian brand has traditionally focused only on that high range. This, together with its success in competition by the best cyclists in the world throughout history, has made its bikes an object of desire for cyclists for decades.

Now, Pinarello makes access to its F series more affordable, which identifies the models with geometry and performance oriented towards competition, the culmination of which is the Dogma F used by the cyclists of INEOS Grenadier. Below, the brand maintained the F9 and F7 models with less elitist assemblies and, of course, a more affordable price.

Pinarello has just completed this range with the introduction of a new frame, the F1, which will allow access to the range to a much wider audience. To do this, it has maintained the same mold in the rest of its F models but by laminating it with a more modest carbon, specifically Toray T600 with unidirectional fibers.

A lower modulus carbon which always translates into the need to use more layers to achieve the desired stiffness goals, generally slightly lower than in their top-of-the-line models as they are aimed at less sporty cyclists who will not be able to get the most out of extreme stiffness and will value that the frame is more absorbent.

Obviously, this use of a greater amount of carbon fiber also results in a slight increase in weight compared to the top-of-the-line models that are able to use a completely minimalist laminate. In any case, Pinarello does not give up its identity signs such as achieving an optimal response to pedaling thanks to its traditional asymmetric design where the left chainstay is specially reinforced as it has to work its fibers in extension while the right side, which receives compression forces from the transmission, receives less stress and needs less material.

Internationally, Pinarello has prepared a setup for this bike based on the Shimano 105 in its mechanical version, something that is done while maintaining complete internal routing from end to end, something much more complicated when we talk about a mechanical group which also implies having to pass the cables of both derailleurs through the stem and the handlebar. A bike that is completed with a handlebar and stem made by Most, Pinarello's component brand of conventional design but suitable for internally routing cables.

In any case, the specific setup, especially regarding wheels, is usually defined by each national distributor who often offer several options to suit the customer's preferences, although it is presumable, pending final prices, that the Pinarello F1 will be priced below €4,000.
