Pinarello
F Series
The Pinarello F series is part of the Italian brand's competition road bike line up and features many of the staples that make the brand so instantly recognisable. The Pinarello F carbon road bike collection is one of the more accessible ranges, with full bikes starting at a lower price point than their flagship Dogma framesets cost. The Pinarello F frameset is made from T700 Toray Carbon which creates a reactive ride that also has vibration dampening to improve comfort. Their trademark asymmetric rear end also features here which helps to balance out the forces going through the bike under heavy pedalling. Another hallmark of the brand is evident throughout the Pinarello F series - the distinctive Onda forks. The unique shape of these forks provides reponsive steering but has additional damping through the carbon to reduce the effects felt through the handlebars of road vibrations.
The Pinarello F range is broken into four distinct models, all of which use the same frameset, but have different levels of componentry equipped on them. These are:
Pinarello F1 - This is the entry level model in the range and is fitted with the trusty Shimano 105 groupset, which offers a great entry point for many into this incredible road bike brand.
Pinarello F5 - The next model up in the series still relies on Shimano's 105 transmission, but is upgraded to the electronic shifting Di2 version, providing more customisation options when it comes to changing gears.
Pinarello F7 - This is where this bike starts to become a serious race bike, with Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset and carbon road bike wheels making this a truly competitive option.
Pinarello F9 - The top of the range Pinarello F bike is equipped with Shimano's flagship Dura-Ace groupset, Most carbon wheels, and carbon components throughout, making this a thoroughbred race bike.
