2024 Pinarello Dogma XC Drops 2 Carbon Specs for Full-Suspension & Exhausting Tail MTBs

Pinarello are again within the MTB scene with the official rollout of two all-new XC race bikes. Certain, It’s true that everyone knows the enduring Italian bike maker for street bikes, however they’ve additionally had a mountain bike line on and off in current a long time. However these Dogma XC bikes are nothing just like the informal Pinarello mountain bikes of years previous.

Two all-new off-road race bikes developed intently with Tom Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot. Two all-new bikes which have every already been ridden to World Championship titles. All much less that 10 months after the entire Pinarello Dogma XC mountain bike growth undertaking started.

All-new full-suspension Dogma XC

The primary one we laid eyes on was Pidcock’s full-suspension bike. Raced and gained in its first World Cup outing in Nové Město, Czechia final Might. He adopted that up three months later with an XCO World Championship win on the identical bike.

That bike is now made official because the Pinarello Dogma XC.

All-new hardtail Dogma XC Exhausting Tail, too!

The following one we noticed was Ferrand-Prévot’s hardtail which turned up in Peebles, Scotland in August. And she or he proceeds to win two UCI World Championship titles within the bike’s first race outing – each Elite Ladies’s XCC & XCO.

That second bike is now made official because the Pinarello Dogma XC Exhausting Tail.

Ten months begin to end. Pinarello turned a spark of an thought into 2 World Championship-winning bikes in a single season.

(Extra on that story with my First Rides Overview!)

OK, again to the bikes you should buy!

Each new bikes can be found beginning in the present day for buy via your native Pinarello vendor. The INEOS group has a growth partnership with SR Suntour, in order that’s what the group is racing. However that suspension isn’t prepared but for shoppers, so you will get wonderful new FOX suspension within the meantime. In addition they race on Shimano. However since there isn’t but a brand new XTR Di2 group, Pinarello figured they might spec these business bikes with the most recent SRAM AXS T-Sort Transmissions. Fortunately (in my private opinion and the minds of Pinarello), the bikes get spec’d with the best-performing Shimano brakes as a substitute.

2024 Pinarello Dogma XC & XC full-suspension bikes

Briefly, the Pinarello Dogma XC is the full-suspension choice, with 90mm of single-pivot rear journey paired to a 100mm fork.

However it includes a movable machined aluminum entrance shock mount that allows you to optionally swap in an extended stroke shock paired to an extended for to get 100mm out again and 120mm up font with the very same geometry.

Tech particulars

Kinematics-wise, you get a roughly 100% anti-squat with a flat curve and a leverage ratio round 2:1 for a “easy but progressive” suspension setup. The linkage-driven flex-stay single pivot rotates on bearings on the primary pivot and bushings in every single place else.

Key options of the full-suspension bike embody the additional triangle above the underside bracket to dramatically enhance drivetrain stiffness, and stiffness on the body’s primary pivot. It additionally follows Pinarello’s idea of uneven design to deal with the uneven forces exerted on a motorbike evaluating driveside vs. braking forces.

Much less apparent, however the rear finish of the Dogma XC consists of two utterly separate triangles. Not chainstay or seatstay bridges to attach them. However… hidden contained in the outsized primary pivot, the edges are joined with a Hirth joint. An outsized aluminum half axle is molded into each halves of the rear triangle, and a toothed interface connects them again within the center to stiffen the 2 sides into one. The result’s stiffness such as you had a chainstay bridge, however with the power to have ultra-short 427.5mm chainstays with 2.4″ tire clearance, and no mud shelf!

Built-in cockpits

Pinarello additionally provides each bikes a brand new one-piece built-in carbon MOST XC MTB cockpits to avoid wasting weight and enhance steering stiffness. With absolutely inside cable routing via the headset and an inside 60° steering cease.

It’s an enormous handlebar to take a look at. And we’ll depart it as much as the feedback part to debate inside cable routing on a mountain bike. However a pleasing shock no less than to me, Pinarello did a strong job of creating it stiff in the appropriate instructions, with out it rattling your tooth (or wrists) when using uneven trails!
