Pinarello Dogma F10

In a sport where victory is elusive and hot streaks are fleeting, it takes something genuinely special to dominate the field year in and year out, regardless of the terrain or the conditions. In spite of the odds,

Pinarello's iconic Dogma series has reigned supreme for the better part of a decade.

As the chariot of choice for Team Sky since its 2010 release, every iteration of the famed Dogma series has been piloted to Grand Tour glory, with each season marking a superlative chapter in what has become one of the most impressive legacies in cycling's modern era.

So, it should come as no surprise that

many cycling aficionados consider the latest iteration, the Dogma F10, to be the finest road racing bicycle ever built.

And although the claims of unadulterated perfection may seem exaggerated, the reality is that the F10 is very nearly in a class of its own, even among its extraordinary peers.

Part of the Dogma's reputation has been built on its seemingly impossible versatility. From bone-shaking cobbled classics to mountain top finishes in world's toughest stage races, the F10 has proven repeatedly that it is a winning machine. Befitting a steed born of such an impressive lineage, its handling is precise, razor sharp in fact. Similarly unsurprising is the fact that such fanatical attention has been paid to alleviating undue flex and ruthlessly trimming away any potential sources of aerodynamic drag.

of such an impressive lineage, its handling is precise, razor sharp in fact. Similarly unsurprising is the fact that such fanatical attention has been paid to alleviating undue flex and ruthlessly trimming away any potential sources of aerodynamic drag.

And while its obvious concessions to aerodynamic efficiency can be seen in its unmistakable lines, the Dogma F10 frame comes in at an eye-wateringly lightweight 820g in a size 53, making it dramatically lighter than nearly any other aero option, and putting it in the same weight range as many of the leading climbing-focused waifs.

But the final piece of the puzzle that places the F10 so far ahead of the pack is its improbable comfort,

which welcomes the rider back in the saddle even after weeks of nonstop racing. This is a machine defined by its unbridled aggressiveness, but its smoothness and composure make this genre-defining superbike astonishingly easy to live with.

The F10's forgiving demeanor is no mistake, as Pinarello has unapologetically focused on honing it as a Grand Tour dominator. The careful tuning of flex, especially in the seatstays, shelters the rider from the painful effects of unending road chatter. And that carefully tuned balance of response and forgiveness has been tailored by frame size, allowing smaller riders to appreciate the same sensation of smoothness enjoyed by riders on the largest frame sizes.

For riders wanting to experience the very best, accept no substitute. The F10's response in corners borders on telepathic, it accelerates with urgency, and its aesthetics tug at the heartstrings of those driven by speed. It's also refined and forgiving, practically begging the rider to deliver their very best performance every time it touches the tarmac.

The Dogma F10 is king of the superbikes. Long may it reign.

Pinarello Dogma F10

The Dogma F10 frameset includes Pinarello's finely tuned ONDA F10 tapered fork, along with a Pinarello branded headset and a Dogma Aero seatpost. The Italian threaded bottom bracket is a fitting nod to Pinarello's Italian heritage which ensures a lifetime of creak free service.

The internal cable routing accommodates mechanical, electronic, and wireless groupsets, and those opting for a Di2 drivetrain will be pleased that Shimano's E-Tube junction can be hidden seamlessly inside the downtube. Center mounting for brake calipers accommodates the top tier offerings from every major component brand, regardless of your preferred groupset.

The F10 has been built around today's wider rims with 25mm tires, which after years of testing has become the go-to setup amongst the professional ranks for the outright speed it offers. The additional comfort when compared to 23's is simply a bonus.

Whether you choose to keep it classic with a Super Record mechanical gruppo, or opt for a cutting edge eTap setup, the F10 remains the premier platform upon which to build your dream race bike.
