Pinarello Dogma XC

WE ARE BACK!

Dogma XC frames were initially developed in collaboration with INEOS Grenadiers riders Tom Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Pre´vot, who have already achieved massive successes on the bikes, both winning world titles in 2023 alongside a host of other triumphs.

UNIQUE BOTTOM BRACKET AREA
This frame delivers extreme stiffness in the rear triangle and bottom bracket, thanks to an oversized bearing and pivot point for the rear triangle.

FLEX STAYS
Having just three pivot points on the rear triangle typically inhibits rear wheel travel, but the bikes’ unique geometry and integration of flex stays combine to enable travel in a more direct manner. These innovations also save weight, improve stiffness, and deliver an improved connection between rider and rear wheel.

SPLIT REAR TRIANGLE
The rear triangle comprises two distinct semi-triangles fitted to a main rotation point using a unique design where two pins are moulded to the frames. This results in the elimination of a classic external ‘bridge’ which allows for a reduced chain stay length and delivers improved handling and reactivity, the elimination of critical mud accumulation areas and the ability to adopt wider tires, providing riders with a greater range of options.

KINEMATICS
The rear suspension kinematics take the integration of flex stays into account to maximize energy transfer while pedalling, deliver optimal compression/rebound on technical descents, and enable maximal rider control.

Friction at each pivot point has also been minimized by utilizing a mixed bearings/bushing system. Bushings have been incorporated as they are durable enough to absorb the high impact and low rotational forces placed upon them, whereas bearings have been integrated where the opposite forces apply (low impact/high rotation). This results in reduced energy dispersion, increased reactivity of the rear end, and increased durability of the system.

Anti-rise and anti-squat values have also been studied to create a bike which excels on both the steepest climbs and most technical descents.

ADJUSTABLE TRAVEL
The ability to move the suspension connection point under the top tube allows different rear shock absorbers to be fitted, accommodating for a range of travel options and allowing the riders to match their bike to the unique demands of each ride.

ASYMMETRY
The rear triangle utilizes a patented asymmetric design with the left-hand side being reinforced, allowing the bike to counterbalance the higher forces being applied on the opposite side of the drivetrain. This results in more balanced energy transfer, improved speed and traction.

Asymmetry has also been maximized in other areas of the frame, with the chain and seat stays pushing this concept to the next level in order to withstand the powerful accelerations which are delivered in elite cross-country races.

COCKPIT
The custom designed, fully integrated cockpits save weight and offer increased driving precision compared to a two- piece alternative. Fully integrated cable routing is also incorporated, as is a specific headset bearing which features an internal stopper to prevent the handlebar from over-rotating.
