Complementing the flagship DOGMA X, the second-genera on X SERIES is purposely built to maximize rider comfort on everyday road surfaces. Developed for cyclists who value the pure riding experience over chasing seconds on a climb, the lineup sets itself apart from the DOGMA X with its refined geometry, differentiated carbon structure, and increased load capabilities.

X-Stays 2.0

Taking cues from the DOGMA X, the X SERIES has enhanced the effectiveness of its bespoke double-arm, four-point top-stays. The revamped design and lower a attachment points disperse road vibrations more efficiently, while the lower linkage also minimizes rebound to deliver a smoother, more controlled ride.

Tuned Carbon Performance

The X SERIES is available in three different types of carbon fiber to best serve different riders’ needs. The top- er X9 and X7 models utilize the premium Torayca T900 layup to provide the ideal balance of responsiveness, weight and vibration absorption, while the X5 and X3 models feature a T700 carbon optimized for responsiveness and reactivity but with a greater vibration damping capacity. The X1 is produced from a T600 structure featuring a unidirectional finish which also prioritizes compliance.

Engineered to Absorb

Complementing the tuned carbon frames is a new adaptive seat post that delivers 10mm of longitudinal flex. This seat post is lighter and more efficient than its predecessor when it comes to absorbing harsh vibrations and impacts, working in unison with the X-STAYS to serve up an ultra-smooth ride.

Integrated Storage

Embracing the practical needs of long-distance cyclists, the new range debuts an integrated access port in the down tube housing a custom, compact tool bag. This solution allows riders to securely store essentials, inner tubes, and nutrition directly into the frame, without compromising the bike’s clean design or performance.

Enhanced Control

A key technical advancement across the X9, X7, X5, and X3 models is the introduction of an elliptical steering tube, now encompassing fully integrated front cable routing. This evolved design significantly improves torsional stiffness and front-end precision, resulting in more confident handling and greater stability – especially on long descents and rough terrain.

The X1 maintains the previous-genera on X SERIES frame architecture. This deliberate choice retains complete compatibility with traditional mechanical groupsets.

Expanded Tire Clearance

To provide ultimate versatility across varied road surfaces, the X SERIES features an expanded re clearance up to 40mm, allowing riders to take full advantage of modern tubeless-ready technology for superior grip, control and vibration absorption on a multitude of terrain. The frame is also fully compatible with SRAM’s Universal Derailleur Hanger.

Unchanged Geometry

The geometry of the new range is one of the few elements that remains unchanged from the previous generation – longer, higher and more comfortable than the DOGMA X – offering the perfect balance of efficiency and all-day comfort.

Pinarello President Fausto Pinarello said: “The all-new X SERIES represents a significant step forward for Pinarello’s endurance collection. We wanted to focus on what real-world cyclists actually need during long rides on everyday road surfaces—unmatched comfort and vibration absorption without losing any performance. By incorporating innovative solutions like the
integrated down tube storage, elliptical steering tube and adaptive seat post, the X SERIES is the perfect choice for year-round
endurance rides. This is a range that allows cyclists to go further, explore rougher terrain with confidence, and truly enjoy the
ride.”
