The revamped F-Series, available in five carbon grades – T900, T700, and T600 – and five tiers ranging from F9 to F1, prioritizes improved aerodynamics, increased pedaling stiffness, and simplified internal cable routing. Pinarello engineers have focused on delivering a riding experience that mirrors its prestigious Dogma F,but at distinctly different price points.
Adopting Technology From the Dogma F
A core element of the update involves integrating features directly from the Dogma F. The most noticeable change is a redesigned head tube and steerer assembly, featuring a slimmed head tube profile and an elliptical steering tube. This allows for the implementation of Pinarello’s E-TiCR (Total Internal Cable Routing) system, initially seen on the Dogma F, offering cleaner cable management and easier maintenance.

Aerodynamic gains are further enhanced by slimmer fork blades and a new down tube shape featuring a thinner, aerofoil-inspired section. Pinarello also introduced the Aero Keel bottom bracket layout, previously exclusive to the Dogma F. This design streamlines airflow around the crank area and provides increased stiffness for powerful pedaling efforts.
Geometry and Fit Refinements
The F-Series boasts an updated geometry, with key adjustments to enhance handling characteristics. A shift to a 47mm fork rake across all sizes,from the 425mm to the 580mm,promises quicker steering response. The bike maintains a sporty geometry, accommodating a wide range of rider sizes and preferences.
