Pinarello Dogma X Super Record WRL

The frame is molded from a new M40X carbon layup, developed and first tested on Pinarello's X-Light and Ineos Grenadiers team bikes before making its way to the Dogma X, chosen for tensile strength and elastic modulus rather than a chase for the lowest possible weight. The X-Stays 2.0 rear end carries over the double-arm, four-point top stay concept from the previous generation but lowers the attachment point and refines the geometry around it, so road vibration disperses across four connection points instead of two while the lower linkage limits rebound. The effect is a rear end that reads road texture without turning every crack and seam into constant feedback through the saddle. Tire clearance opens up to 35mm — wide for a bike still built around drop bars and a race silhouette — and a new aero-keel bottom bracket shell is shaped to support that clearance without giving up stiffness at the cranks.

Up front, an elliptical steering tube with integrated cable routing works alongside a wider head tube to cut frontal width while adding depth, a combination Pinarello designed to improve aerodynamic efficiency and torsional stiffness at the same time rather than trading one for the other. That stiffness shows up most on descents, where precise steering under load matters more than outright aero savings. The downtube follows similar logic — narrower and tapered for aero gain, but built up laterally so power transfer stays…
