Pinarello, the renowned Italian bicycle manufacturer, is making its return to the mountain biking scene with the launch of the all-new Dogma XC. The company has partnered with elite cyclists, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and Tom Pidcock, to develop a bike that meets the demands of competitive mountain biking.
Ferrand-Prévot and Pidcock have been actively involved in the bike’s development, providing valuable feedback to Pinarello’s team of engineers. The cyclists have expressed their excitement and positive initial impressions of the Dogma XC.
Ferrand-Prévot said, “It was exciting to receive and test the bike, my first impression is they’ve developed a remarkably fast bike. Pinarello’s engineers are constantly asking us for feedback and it’s fun being part of the bike’s progression.”
Pidcock added, “It handles brilliantly, is super-responsive, and ultimately is fast. It’s a bike that’s still in development, and it’s going to be fun working with Pinarello to make it even better.”
Fausto Pinarello, the CEO of Pinarello, expressed his anticipation for the debut of the Dogma XC in competitive racing. “Seeing Tom and Pauline competing on the Dogma XC is going to be a landmark moment for everyone at Pinarello.”
The bike has been developed by Pinarello’s dedicated internal research and development team, which includes experts in mountain biking and kinematics. The team has worked tirelessly to create a bike that meets the highest standards of performance.
Carsten Jeppesen, Head of Technical Partners and Cycling Relations at INEOS Grenadiers, commended the collaboration between Pinarello and the cyclists. “The fact that Tom and Pauline are so involved in the development process has meant from the first testing they were already impressed with the bike’s handling.”
The Dogma XC is poised to make its debut at the Nové Město race. The ultimate goal for both cyclists is to perform at the highest level, with the Paris Olympics in sight.
Pinarello’s collaboration with Ferrand-Prévot and Pidcock showcases their commitment to producing high-performance bikes that help athletes win races. With their expertise and passion, Pinarello aims to create a bike that will deliver a competitive edge to its riders.
