Details
Some call it obsessive compulsion. Others call it an unrelenting attention to detail. Pinarello’s Bolide Frameset has won multiple Tours de France in its quest for aero, so it doesn't really matter what you call it. Every one of the Bolide's 65HM1K carbon tubes is shaped for minimal frontal surface area and max drag reduction, plus — amazingly — in some wind conditions the frame actually produces forward thrust! Pinarello even made it possible to move your bottle cage closer to the bottom bracket to further reduce drag. The head tube is integrated with the fork, stem, and handlebars, resulting in an incredibly seamless steering console, while the adjustable carbon bars let you let you find your fastest position and house your battery if you use an electronic shifting system. Both brakes are completely hidden from the wind under carbon covers, and cutouts tuck your rear wheel right against the seat tube, reducing dirty air and increasing the aerodynamic advantage of your disc or deep-section wheel. To make things even harder on your competition, the Bolide is both ultra stiff and super light. Pinarello thought of everything. All you have to do is decide how to build it up and pedal yourself onto the podium!
Due to pedaling forces transmitted through the bicycle's chain, stresses on the right side (drive side) of the frame are different from the left. To better transfer pedal power to the ground, Pinarello stiffens the right side of their frames. This ensures excellent power transmission and responsiveness under high load (such as sprint efforts).
