Pinarello wins with its new mountain bikes, hardtail and full suspension, the Paris 2024 Olympics

The mountain bike events at the Paris Olympics have left us with Pauline Ferrand-Prevot and Tom Pidcock as new Olympic champions. Both teammates on the INEOS Grenadiers team and both riding with two Pinarello mountain bikes that the brand has developed in record time for this purpose.

Pinarello had a plan and nailed it: they have won the 2024 Paris Olympics with their new catalog of mountain bikes

We look back and time seems to multiply, but only 3 years have passed since Pinarello gave a first functional prototype of their new Dogma XC. A full suspension bike developed at the express request of Tom Pidcock since the Italian brand did not have any XC model in their catalog at the time the British rider signed with INEOS and started competing. It is worth noting that Pidcock won the Tokyo Olympics with a completely black BMC Fourstroke to try to go unnoticed.

So since 2021, Pinarello had the plan to create a mountain bike from scratch and their goal was to win the 2024 Paris Olympics with it. But the plan got a little more complicated with the arrival of the Frenchwoman Pauline Ferrand Prevot to the team and her particular desire to also have a rigid mountain bike to try to achieve the same goal.

Said and done. Pinarello developed and manufactured in record time the Dogma XC and the Dogma XC Hardtail. Two bikes that won the 2023 World Championships in Scotland, Pidcock did it with the full suspension and Pauline with the rigid one, and now they have both been proclaimed Olympic champions hand in hand with the same protagonists.

In a market with as many alternatives as mountain bikes for XCO, Pinarello has achieved the best presentation card for their two completely new models. Winning the World Championship and the Olympics with both.

An achievement only within reach of an alliance like the one between INEOS and Pinarello, which allows them to combine the best cycling talent and the best available technology that money can buy in record time.

How much are the Olympic mountain bikes of Tom Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Prevot worth

The Pinarello Dogma XC full suspension bike with which Tom Pidcock won the Paris Olympics has a top-of-the-line assembly with a price of 13,500€. This is the most similar version for sale to the one the British rider has ridden. While the rigid model Pinarello Dogma XC Hardtail with which Pauline Ferrand Prevot has taken the gold has a price of 11,000 with the best possible assembly.

Here is our test of the Pinarello Dogma XC and here you can take a look at the prices and models of the hardtail version with which Pauline Ferrand-Prevot has won.
