Pinarello's Dogma XC frames were developed in collaboration with INEOS Grenadiers riders Tom Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot.
The frame delivers extreme stiffness in the rear triangle and bottom bracket, thanks to an oversized bearing and pivot point for the rear triangle. The unique geometry and integration of flex stays enable travel in a more direct manner, saving weight, improving stiffness, and delivering an improved connection between rider and rear wheel.
Rear suspension kinematics maximize energy transfer while pedaling, deliver optimal compression and rebound on technical descents, and enable maximal rider control. Friction at each pivot point is minimized by utilizing a mixed bearings and bushing system. Anti-rise and anti-squat values are optimized for steep climbs and technical descents. The suspension connection point under the top tube allows different rear shock absorbers to be fitted, accommodating a range of travel options.
The rear triangle utilizes a patented asymmetric design with the left-hand side reinforced to counterbalance forces applied on the drivetrain side, resulting in balanced energy transfer, improved speed, and traction. The custom-designed, fully integrated cockpit saves weight and offers increased driving precision. Fully integrated cable routing is incorporated, along with a headset bearing featuring an internal stopper to prevent handlebar over-rotation.
