History

{{Ill|Giovanni Pinarello|it}} was born in Catena di Villorba, Italy in 1922. He was the eighth of 12 brothers. At the age of 15, Giovanni began making bicycles at the factory of Paglianti. After a successful amateur career he turned professional in 1947, aged 25.{{cite web|title=History|url=http://www.pinarello.com/eng/about_history.php|publisher=Cicli Pinarello S.p.A|access-date=18 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130226045725/http://www.pinarello.com/eng/about_history.php|archive-date=26 February 2013|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}{{cite web|title=Brief History of Pinarello|url=http://www.bikyle.com/pinarellohistory.htm|publisher=BiKyle|access-date=18 January 2013}}{{cite web|title=About Pinarello|url=http://www.evanscycles.com/news-and-events/new-arrivals-pinarello-bikes|publisher=Evans Cycles|access-date=18 January 2013|date=1 July 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130216010808/http://www.evanscycles.com/news-and-events/new-arrivals-pinarello-bikes|archive-date=16 February 2013}}{{cite web|title=Sponsors|url=http://www.teamsky.com/article/0,27290,17618_5792270,00.html|publisher=Team Sky|access-date=21 October 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120704165231/http://www.teamsky.com/article/0,27290,17618_5792270,00.html|archive-date=4 July 2012|url-status=dead}} Pinarello died on 4 September 2014.{{cite web|url=http://velonews.competitor.com/2014/09/news/giovanni-nani-pinarello-dies-92_344049|title=Giovanni "Nani" Pinarello, founder and innovator, dies at 92 - VeloNews.com|work=VeloNews.com}}

Originally, all Pinarello frames were steel. Pinarello used Columbus tubing for most of the 1980s but with tubing by Oria in the lower models in 1989. The first non-Italian tube was Tange Prestige for the US-based Levis Cycling team headed by Michael Fatka and ridden by Andrew Hampsten, Steve Tilford, Roy Knickmann, Thurlow Rogers in the mid-1980s.GITA Sporting Goods, Pinarello Catalogue 1989 As noted above, the Banesto Line introduced in 1993 exclusively utilized Oria tubing: Oria Cromovan, Oria ML34, and Oria ML25. Throughout the 1990s until 2004, Pinarello produced frames from conventional steel tubing using lugs, oversize tubing, oversize aluminium with TIG welded joints, magnesium and frames of carbon fiber and other materials.

The Pinarello Montello SLX was a landmark model for Pinarello as this was the frame with which Pinarello achieved their first major pro victories. This model frame was one of the most responsive of the mid to late 1980s as shown by wins in events such as the 1984 Summer Olympics Road Race, Vuelta a España, the Giro d'Italia and stages of the Tour de France.{{cite web|url=http://bicyclerenaissance.com/page.cfm?pageID=198|title=The History of Pinarello|work=bicyclerenaissance.com}} The Montello had a brake cable through the top tube, chrome sloping front fork and chrome on the drive side chain stay; later models had the full rear triangle chromed. The Montello SLX was in red, blue and Spumoni.GITA Sporting Goods, Pinarello Catalogue #65 Pinarellos from the mid-1980s often have the decals restored by owners as factory-applied decals were prone to flaking off.{{cite web|url=http://archive.roadbikereview.com/10/0EFCCF2A.php|title=RoadBike Review's Forum Archives|work=roadbikereview.com|access-date=2007-10-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080424044759/http://archive.roadbikereview.com/10/0EFCCF2A.php|archive-date=2008-04-24|url-status=dead}}

The Montello was available in 2 versions: frame from Columbus SL with SLX fork, or fabricated from Columbus full SLX double butted tubing with rifling down the inside center. The bottom bracket was investment cast with the Pinarello logo and the dropouts were by Campagnolo. Braze-ons for down-tube shifters, front derailleur and two water bottles were provided. The GPT logo (for Giovanni Pinarello, Treviso) appeared in many locations.

The Pinarello Treviso was the second-in-line model under the Montello SLX in the mid-to-late '80's. Built with Columbus SL tubing, it featured a painted fork and seat stays, with chromed chain stays. This model also featured the sloping fork crown. On the road it is easily distinguished from the Montello by the single chrome chain stay. However, some older models of the Treviso (1981) did not have the chrome chain stay.

After the Montello SLX, Pinarello departed from his standard production design with parallel seat and head tube angles and created the Gavia. This provided more saddle setback than the Montello or other Pinarello designs. Greg LeMond, the winner of the Tour de France in 1986, 1989 and 1990,{{cite web|url=http://www.letour.fr/2007/TDF/COURSE/us/histoire_home.html|title=Paris-Roubaix 2015|access-date=2007-10-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071010125316/http://www.letour.fr/2007/TDF/COURSE/us/histoire_home.html|archive-date=2007-10-10|url-status=dead}} promoted designs that pushed the saddle further back.Lemond G, Gordis K.

The Banesto Line was released in 1993 following Miguel Indurain's first two Tour de France (1991 and 1992) and first Giro d'Italia (1992) wins. Based upon Indurain's preference, all Banesto Line frames were constructed with Oria tubing. The Banesto Line was headlined by Indurain's Time Trial bike, debuting at the 1992 Giro with a remarkable advance in steel frames as it featured Tig welded custom aerodynamic tubing and custom aerodynamic seat post with internal shifter and brake cable routing. This TT bike represented an early example, possibly the first, of experimentation with airfoil tubing in the pro peloton. Only three of these TT framesets are known to have been constructed. Prior to the 1992 Giro, Indurain had ridden a Banesto painted TT bike with a round tubeset.Miguel Indurain Time trial Pinarello Banesto http://www.vintageluxurybicycles.com/indurain-tt The Banesto Line included the Tig welded Ciclo Cromovan Record 93, the Ciclo ML 34 Record 93 with a chromed fork and chrome rear triangle as well as the Ciclo ML 25 Veloce 93. The Banesto Line were supplied with Campagnolo components, Mavic rims, Aci Inox spokes, Vittoria tires, ITM handlebars and Indurain's preferred Selle Italia Turbo saddles.Pinarello Vince brochure 1993 Riding his Pinarello Banesto Line bicycles, Indurain was the last cyclist to win the Tour on a steel bicycle.Gallery: Tour de France race winning bikes. https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/gallery-tour-de-france-race-winning-bikes/. 29 June 2012. In 1997, the steel Banesto Line had changed from the white frames to utilize standard Pinarello blue and white color schemes along with Banesto badging on the downtube. In 1998, the Banesto Line included the new Paris aluminum frameset and updated Pinarello logo.

File:Pinarello bike jan ullrich.JPG's 1997 Tour de France winning Paris FP]]

The Pinarello Paris in the mid-1990s was a 7005 series aluminium bike with an aluminium fork later replaced by the aria carbon fork. It was upon this frame that Jan Ullrich and Bjarne Riis won the Tour de France. Winner of the 2007 Editor's Choice award for a road racing bicycle from Bicycling Magazine, the Pinarello Paris FP is the premier monocoque, high modulus, unidirectional carbon fiber frame. In 2009, the FP6 replaced the Paris FP and F4:13. The monocoque frame uses the same mold as the Paris FP, but with different carbon fiber (30HM3K).

Pinarello has been slow to jump aboard the all-carbon juggernaut, preferring to concentrate on its highly regarded magnesium-frame technology as showcased in the Dogma series of bikes. But the attraction and momentum of carbon is unavoidable, and while the all-carbon F4:13 hasn't displaced the Dogma at the top of Pinarello's line-up, it is clearly a serious and purposeful attempt to use the material's properties to best advantage, starting with one-piece main frame construction to exploit carbon's stiffness and low weight.

=Contemporary road models=

The Pinarello FP Uno was the current base model bicycle built by Pinarello evolving from its predecessor, the FP1. The FP Uno features hydroformed asymmetric 6061 T6 triple butted aluminium tubing. The next superior model is the Pinarello FP Due. Like the FP Uno, this has evolved from its predecessor, the FP2. The frame is constructed from 24HM12K carbon fibre. The Pinarello FP Quattro is built from 30HM12K carbon fibre and features carbon asymmetric stays with Onda carbon forks. The Quattro also utilises the new iCR internal cable routing system, which has been developed in house, by Pinarello.

The Pinarello Neor replaced the FP Uno as Pinarellos base road bike model, featuring the same hydroformed aluminum frame as the FP Uno, but now boasts a carbon fibre rear triangle as well as ONDA carbon front forks.{{cite web |url=http://www.pinarello.com/eng/neor_771.php |title=Pinarello Neor |publisher=Pinarello.com |access-date=2013-07-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130716211955/http://pinarello.com/eng/neor_771.php |archive-date=2013-07-16 |url-status=dead }} The Pinarello FPTEAM Carbon is constructed from 24HM12K uni-directional carbon fibre and features both tapered 1 "1/8 1" 1/4 ONDA front forks and ONDA rear triangles.{{cite web|url=http://www.pinarello.com/eng/fpteam_806.php|title=Pinarello FPTEAM|publisher=Pinarello.com|access-date=2013-07-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130716213150/http://www.pinarello.com/eng/fpteam_806.php|archive-date=2013-07-16|url-status=dead}} The Pinarello Rahza is a full 24HM12K carbon fibre frame, featuring an asymmetrical monocoque design which improved frame rigidity.

Rigidity of the frame is further improved by the usage of a tapered headset (1" 1/8 - 1" 1/2) as well as featuring internal cable routing. Pinarello say that the Marvel is "top level bike and already UCI approved for use in official competitions." The Marvel also makes full use of the Think2 system allowing the usage of both electronic and mechanical groupsets. Other new features include the new ONDA2V front fork and a new aerodynamic downtube.{{cite web|url=http://www.pinarello.com/eng/marvel_carbon_776.php|title=Pinarello Marvel|publisher=Pinarello.com|access-date=2013-07-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130716211939/http://pinarello.com/eng/marvel_carbon_776.php|archive-date=2013-07-16|url-status=dead}}

==GAN series==

For 2016 Pinarello updated their product line starting with new mid-level bikes up to models just below the Dogma Series. All GAN Series models take styling and design cues from the Dogma F8. The entry level GAN stems directly from the design efforts of the Dogma F8, whilst having a less 'extreme' style which aids riding comfort. The GAN Disk variant contains the same features as the GAN but also includes disk brakes, both models are manufactured from T600 carbon fibre.{{cite web|url=http://road.cc/content/news/152972-pinarello-introduces-gan-and-gan-disc-road-bikes-dogma-f8-more-affordable|title=Pinarello introduces Gan and Gan Disc road bikes, like the Dogma F8 but more affordable|date=1 June 2015|work=road.cc}} The GAN S features an all T700 carbon fibre frame, whilst still maintaining design features akin to the F8.{{cite web|url=http://www.nytro.com/pinarello/gan-s-ultegra-road-bike-414-24533|title=Pinarello Gan S Ultegra Road Bike|author=Nytro Multisport|work=Nytro|access-date=2015-09-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905063522/http://www.nytro.com/pinarello/gan-s-ultegra-road-bike-414-24533|archive-date=2015-09-05|url-status=dead}} The top of the class model is the GAN RS which features a higher strength T900 Toray carbon.{{cite web|url=http://cyclingmagazine.ca/sections/gear-reviews/bikesframes/a-look-at-pinarellos-2016-line-up/|title=A look at Pinarello's 2016 lineup - Canadian Cycling Magazine|work=Canadian Cycling Magazine|date=30 May 2015}}

==Dogma series==

The Pinarello Dogma was the first of the current top line of bicycle made by the company and was the first bicycle of a 'new generation' of frames, it is the successor to the Pinarello Prince range and was released for sale to the public in 2010. The frames focus around a completely asymmetric design made entirely of 60HM1K carbon fibre, with the right hand side of the Dogma frame different in shape and section to that of the left side, thus providing increased rigidity against forces placed upon the frame by pedalling.{{cite web|url=http://www.pinarello.com/eng/dogma_carbon_462.php|title=CICLI PINARELLO S.p.A.|work=Pinarello.com|access-date=2012-08-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120814062011/http://www.pinarello.com/eng/dogma_carbon_462.php|archive-date=2012-08-14|url-status=dead}}

In 2011 the successor the Dogma, the Pinarello Dogma 2 was revealed at the 2011 Tour de France. The Dogma 2 featured aerodynamic improvements which increased the efficiency of the frame.{{Cite web |url=http://www.pinarello.com/eng/dogma2_carbon_612.php |title=Dogma2 |access-date=2012-08-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120820034543/http://www.pinarello.com/eng/dogma2_carbon_612.php |archive-date=2012-08-20 |url-status=dead }}

Bradley Wiggins rode the Dogma 2 to victory in the 2012 Tour de France. In 2012, mountain bike trials rider, Martyn Ashton, created a video in which he performed several tricks and stunts on a Dogma 2. The video, entitled "Road Bike Party", went viral, gaining over half a million views in one day, and it currently has over eight million views on YouTube.

The Pinarello Dogma K features Pinarellos 'Century Ride' geometry and uses frame design that provides increased comfort without compromising overall performance. As with other modern Pinarellos, the frame incorporates an asymmetrical design which offsets the asymmetric forces created by pedalling. The Dogma K and the Dogma frame differ from each other in the angle of the seat tube, brought back to increase shock absorption, and reduced head tube angle as well as slightly longer chain stays to increase comfort. Furthermore, a longer wheelbase makes for a frame that is less rigid vertically, improving shock absorption. The Pinarello ROKH frame was made in an effort to offer the excellent performance of the DOGMA K to a wider group of cyclists. The ROKH's geometry is similar in shape and construction but with an even longer wheel base to add even more vertical compliance than the Dogma K. The Dogma K Hydro mirrors the new model variation seen with the Dogma 65.1, whereby hydraulic disc brakes have now been added. The Hydro features new ONDA HD (Hydraulic Disc) forks, as well as new chainstays accommodating the RAD braking system seen on both the DOGMA XC and Dogma 65.1 Hydro.{{cite web |url=http://www.pinarello.com/eng/dogmaK_carbon_824.php.php |title=Dogma K Hydro |publisher=Pinarello.com |access-date=2013-07-16 }}{{Dead link|date=April 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

The 2013 generation of the Dogma bicycle is the Dogma 65.1 Think2. When compared to the Dogma2, the Think2 features stronger and more rigid carbon fibre, 65HM1K, yielding a more reactive frame. Moreover, the Think2 has been built with the new electronic shifting group sets in mind, and thus has internal cable routing for both Shimano and Campagnolo systems.{{cite web|url=http://www.pinarello.com/eng/dogma65_carbon_850.php|title=Cicli Pinarello Think2|publisher=Pinarello.com|access-date=2012-08-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120817061821/http://www.pinarello.com/eng/dogma65_carbon_850.php|archive-date=2012-08-17|url-status=dead}} The 2014 Dogma 65.1 Hydro variant of the Dogma is virtually the same as the 2013 Think2 model, made from Torayca 65Ton HM 1K carbon fibre with "Nanoalloy technology". The Hydro however, accommodates hydraulic disc brakes and features a new front fork developed from the previous ONDA2 fork, called the ONDA HD (Hydraulic Disk). The frame also features new chainstays which accommodate the new RAD braking system, derived from the development of the Dogma XC.{{cite web |url=http://www.pinarello.com/eng/dogma65_carbon_823.php |title=Pinarello Dogma Hydro |publisher=Pinarello.com |access-date=2013-07-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130715060615/http://www.pinarello.com/eng/dogma65_carbon_823.php |archive-date=2013-07-15 |url-status=dead }} Chris Froome rode the Dogma 65.1 Think2 to victory in the 2013 Tour de France.

In May 2014 the Pinarello Dogma F8 was revealed as part of Pinarellos 2015 product launch, with the name deriving from this particular Dogma model being the 8th generation.{{cite web|url=http://www.bikeradar.com/road/news/article/pinarello-dogma-f8-launched-chris-froomes-new-tour-de-france-bike-41179/ |title=Pinarello Dogma F8 |publisher=Bikeradar |access-date=2014-05-28}} The new bike was developed in conjunction with Team Sky sponsor and car manufacturer Jaguar and takes design cues (such as the front fork shape) from the Bolide time trial bike. Research advancements have led to claimed aerodynamic gains, with the F8 being 26.1% more aerodynamic than the Dogma 65.1, 6.4% more aerodynamic when including the bike rider and the frameset alone being 40% more aerodynamically efficient than the predecessor.{{cite web|url=http://www.teamsky.com/article/0,27290,17546_9329708,00.html |title=Team Sky reveal the Pinarello Dogma F8 |publisher=Bikeradar |access-date=2014-05-28}} The bike is expected to debut at the 2014 Critérium du Dauphiné.

In April 2015, just days ahead of the Tour of Flanders Pinarello, along with Jaguar-Land Rover and {{UCI team code|SKY}}, unveiled the Dogma K8-S – a replacement for the cobble-focused Dogma K. The most striking aspect of the new bike is the rear suspension system, dubbed the Dogma Suspension System, which can provide up to 10mm of travel; this however, is not the first time road bikes have been fitted with suspension.{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/team-sky-unveil-pinarello-dogma-k8-s-for-the-tour-of-flanders-and-paris-roubaix|title=Team Sky unveil Pinarello Dogma K8-S for the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix|author=Daniel Benson|work=Cyclingnews.com|date=2 April 2015}} The bike was designed in conjunction with Jaguar{{cite web|url=http://www.bikeradar.com/road/news/article/pinarello-dogma-k8-s-rear-suspension-road-bike-released-43982/|title=Pinarello Dogma K8-S rear-suspension road bike released|author=Daniel Benson|work=BikeRadar}} and features the aerodynamic fork from the Dogma F8, which in conjunction with the suspension system is claimed to reduce vibrations by 50%, with data from Jaguar-Land Rover showing an increase in speed of 8% and a reduction in energy usage of 10%.{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/bernhard-eisels-team-sky-pinarello-dogma-k8-s-cobble-bike-165147|title=Bernhard Eisel's Team Sky Pinarello Dogma K8-S cobble bike - Cycling Weekly|date=3 April 2015|work=Cycling Weekly}}{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/team-skys-secret-weapon-a-suspension-pinarello-dogma-cobble-bike-165107|title=Team Sky's secret weapon: A suspension Pinarello Dogma cobble bike - Cycling Weekly|date=2 April 2015|work=Cycling Weekly}} A version of the bike will also be made which does not have the suspension system built in - the Dogma K8.{{cite web|url=http://www.pinarello.com/en/news/born-to-tame-the-cobbles-and-much-more-dogma-k8-s-game-changer|title=Born to tame the cobbles… and much more.

In January 2017, the company revealed its new flagship bike, the Dogma F10. Unlike in previous years where Pinarello have unveiled their new products to coincide with the Giro d'Italia, the F10 was revealed before the start of the 2017 season. The {{UCI team code|SKY}} team-bikes were equipped with Shimanos newest 9150 Dura-Ace Di2 groupset, whilst Pinarello claimed the F10 was 6.3% lighter and 7% stiffer than its predecessor (still composed of Torayca T1100 1K carbon), whilst a 53 cm unpainted frame has a claimed weight of only 820g. The F10 also has a 12.6% claimed aerodynamic advantage over the F8, coming in part from the 'concave' back shaped aerofoils (also found on the second version of the Bolide time trial bike). The F10 also has a number of aerodynamic devices which have been taken from other models, the aforementioned Bolide, as well as Bradley Wiggins' hour record bike.{{Cite web|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/pinarello-unveil-the-new-dogma-f10-gallery/|title=Pinarello unveil the new Dogma F10 - Gallery|first1=Stephen|last1=Farr|website=cyclingnews.com|date=10 January 2017}} Only hours after its release, Taiwanese bike manufacturer - Velocite - claimed that new F10 and the second version of the Bolide infringe three of its patents.{{Cite web|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/velocite-claims-that-new-pinarello-dogma-f10-infringes-its-patents/|title=Velocite claims that new Pinarello Dogma F10 infringes its patents|first=Jack|last=Luke|website=cyclingnews.com|date=10 January 2017}} The F10 will also be available to the public immediately. During the 2017 Giro d'Italia a number of {{UCI team code|SKY|2017}} riders tested the Dogma F10 X-Light - a lightweight version of the F10 - in readiness for the 2017 Tour de France. Pinarello claim an unpainted X-Light weighs in at 760g for a 53 cm sized frame.{{Cite web|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/devilish-details-of-chris-froomes-different-tour-de-france-pinarellos/|title=Devilish details of Chris Froome's different Tour de France Pinarellos|first=Ben|last=Delaney|website=cyclingnews.com|date=20 July 2017}} In mid-July the company announced the Dogma F10 Disc would be produced for sale.{{Cite web|url=https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/product-news/pinarello-f10-disc-342696|title=Pinarello Dogma F10 Disk – What you need to know about Pinarello's disc brake upgrade|first=Rupert|last=Radley|date=July 19, 2017|website=cyclingweekly.com}} A day later the company revealed the Dogma K10, taking aerodynamic and visual cues from the F10 forebear{{Cite web|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/pinarello-announce-dogma-k10/|title=Pinarello announce Dogma K10|first=Ben|last=Delaney|website=cyclingnews.com|date=20 July 2017}} and the electronically controlled suspension variant, the Dogma K10S Disk.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bikeradar.com/news/pinarello-dogma-k10s-disk-suspension-controlled-by-internal-sensors-and-your-garmin/|title=Pinarello Dogma K10S Disk suspension controlled by internal sensors and your Garmin|website=BikeRadar}}

In May 2019, the company revealed the successor to the Dogma F10, the Dogma F12 which is launched alongside Team Ineos.

Following the success of Pinarello's first experiment with aero tubing in Indurain's 1992 Banesto Line time trial bike, Pinarello developed the carbon monocoque Espada with input from Formula 1 expert Giacchi for the 1994 Hour Record attempt. This was Pinarello's first carbon frame.Icons of cycling: Miguel Indurain’s Pinarello Espada https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/icons-of-cycling-miguel-indurains-pinarello-espada-203071. 12 Dec 2015. Indurain succeeded in setting a new standard on the Espada by breaking 53 kph for the first time with a mark of 53.040 kph. Indurain gained further success on the Espada in the 1995 Tour, winning both long time trials, before returning to a Banesto Line frame to win the 1996 Olympic time trial.

The Pinarello Montello FP8 was a time trial bicycle manufactured by Pinarello prior to the introduction of the Graal. It was made with aerospace grade carbon fibre composite. The 50HM3K carbon fibre creates an ultra stiff and light ride.

The Pinarello Graal is a time trial frame manufactured by Pinarello. The Graal was designed using CFD techniques, maximizing the efficiency of the bicycle. The frame is available in both an electronic version and mechanical version, with the electronic version featuring an internally mounted battery.{{cite web |url=http://www.pinarello.com/eng/graal_610.php |title=Cicli Pinarello S.P.A |publisher=Pinarello.com |access-date=2012-08-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120831032513/http://www.pinarello.com/eng/graal_610.php |archive-date=2012-08-31 |url-status=dead }}

The Pinarello Bolide was released on 2 May 2013{{Cite web|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/pinarello-to-unveil-bolide-time-trial-bike-at-giro-ditalia/|title=Pinarello to unveil Bolide time trial bike at Giro d'Italia|first=Sam|last=Dansie|website=cyclingnews.com|date=2 May 2013}} with gains of a 15% reduction in aerodynamic drag and 5% reduction in weight over the Graal. Team Sky's 2012 Tour de France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins used the new bike at the 2013 Giro d'Italia. The Bolide has been in development for over year with both Pinarello lab technicians and Team Sky working on the bike. The Bolide uses aeroplane wing-shaped tubular sections in conjunction with a 'concave back' on the seat tube. This allows the rear wheel and frame to be closer together. In addition, the brakes are shielded behind leading small fairings and the frame utilizes integrated cabling to further minimize drag.

On 21 June 2013 Pinarello released their second (in-house developed) high end time trial frame within two months, called the Pinarello Sibilo.{{Cite web|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/pinarello-releases-sibilo-time-trial-frame/|title=Pinarello releases Sibilo time trial frame|first=Sam|last=Dansie|website=cyclingnews.com|date=21 June 2013}} The Sibilo will debut at the 2013 Tour de France with Alejandro Valverde of Movistar Team. Early impressions are that the Sibilo shares some common features with the Bolide, such as; airfoil tubing, track style rear dropouts and a 'concave back'. Moreover, the Sibilo carries some aerodynamic refinements over the Bolide, for example, the front brake is further integrated into the forks and the rear brake has been moved towards the chainstays. These modifications remove the need for the brake fairings which are seen on the Bolide. The Sibilo is constructed from the same Torayca 65HM1K carbon as the Bolide, with internal cable routing for extra aerodynamic benefit. The Sibilo utilizes the stiff BB86 bottom bracket and can also accommodate both mechanical groupsets such as the Shimano Dura-Ace and Campagnolo Super Record sets, as well as their electronic variants (Dura-Ace Di2 and Campagnolo EPS).

The Pinarello Xirion is designed specifically for triathletes by utilizing favorable frame geometry and is made from 24HM Unidirectional carbon fibre. The Xirion is sold as a complete bicycle fitted with Vision cycling components.{{cite web|url=http://www.pinarello.com/eng/xiron_789.php|title=Pinarello Xirion|access-date=2013-07-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130715061016/http://www.pinarello.com/eng/xiron_789.php|archive-date=2013-07-15|url-status=dead}}

In light of Bradley Wiggins' hour record attempt, Pinarello collaborated with Jaguar to produce the Bolide HR. The HR variant has aero-optimised front forks, seat stays and dropouts. The bike also features printed titanium bars.{{cite web|url=http://road.cc/content/news/153684-bradley-wiggins-hour-record-pinarello-bolide-design-details-revealed|title=Search|work=road.cc}}{{Dead link|date=April 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} In 2015, the endurance part of the Italian national cycling team received Bolide HR bikes.
