Tom Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot are among the absolute jacks-of-all-trades in bike sport. No matter where they appear, they are among the favourites of every cross-country and short-track race. To convert the leg power of the superstars directly into propulsion, Pinarello is now presenting a hardtail version of its Dogma XC bike. We have the first information on the Italian superbike.

Pinarello recently presented the world a new XC-FullyTom Pidcock from Great Britain at the Cross Country World Cup in Nove Město with electronic suspension from SR Suntour rode confidently to victory. The Italians are using no lesser stage than the World Championships in Scotland to present their new cross-country hardtail. There, Pinarello will be able to draw attention to the Racebike from Tom Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot.

The new Dogma XC hardtail frame is stiff, fast, light and responsive. It gives me a great riding experience, especially on climbs. I requested a hardtail version of the Pinarello Dogma XC while working towards the 2024 Paris Olympics. Now I am grateful to Pinarello for developing this frame and delivering it so quickly.

Pinarello carbon hardtail for fast legs

In order to match the leg power of the XC superstars, Pinarello claims to have created the stiffest bottom bracket area in the mountain bike world with a triangular construction. The asymmetrical rear triangle should also ensure optimum power transmission and traction. To compensate for the higher forces on the non-drive side, the left seat stay has been reinforced. The chainstays have also been given a load-specific layup made of Japanese Toray carbon and can accommodate tyres with a maximum width of 2.3 inches. The bike is designed for forks with 100 millimetres of suspension travel and rear brakes with a flatmount mounting standard.
