The bar of high-performance road bikes is about to moved up once again with the introduction of the 2025 Pinarello Dogma F. Renowned for pushing the boundaries of design and engineering, Pinarello has meticulously refined their flagship model, ensuring it remains at the pinnacle of competitive cycling.
AERODYNAMICS VS WEIGHT: FINDING THE PERFECT EQUILIBRIUM
Over the course of a Grand Tour, a 0.2% improvement in the coefficient of aerodynamic drag (CdA) equates to a 175g saving on the bike. To validate that theory, INEOS Grenadiers’ performance team measured Geraint Thomas’s performance data from the 2022 Tour de France. They studied the average energy he was expending and balanced that with the potential savings he could make in different riding situations i.e. on the flat, climbing, descending. They found minor improvements in CdA and rolling resistance were in fact more valuable than saving weight.
In Grand Tours, just like with our daily rides, it’s not always an uphill time trial. We’re constantly riding on varied terrain. Examined objectively, aerodynamic gains are worth more than weight savings, and that’s why, with the new DOGMA F, Pinarello didn’t focus solely on saving weight. Yes, the new model is 108g lighter than the previous edition but our primary concern was to reduce the bike’s CdA by 0.2%.
MARGINAL GAINS – EVERY DETAIL MATTERS
Every shape, every detail, every new line on the DOGMA F has been designed to reduce the CdA by 0.2%. They achieved that by making a series of minor yet important improvements, all developed using the latest Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, and countless hours in the wind tunnel.
The down tube has been completely redesigned to reduce its thickness, improving the frontal aerodynamic performance of the frame and reducing overall drag. The down tube has also been rotated by 3.5° to create a keel shape that improves the aerodynamic performance of the bottom bracket area by 1.2%. The unique head tube nose shape – which was first introduced on the DOGMA F8 in 2014 has evolved again. They have reduced the volume and width of the nose area by 8mm courtesy of a more streamlined design which improves frontal aero. To reduce the width of the head tube, they designed an innovative elliptical steering tube and completely new headset using bearings of a different diameter, wider on the bottom and narrower at the top. Pinarello also moved the internal cable routing from the sides to the front of the steering tube.
New, shorter thru axles. The bolt on the right side of the fork has been integrated into the carbon, eliminating the previous version’s external hole. The same has been done on the frame with the integration of the rear derailleur dropout. This solution improves both the aerodynamic performance of the frame, and its’ aesthetics. The new slimmer fork design – tested by professional riders – also improves aerodynamics and features a 47mm rake to improve handling and speed on descents.
The seatpost clamp has reduced in size and is now fully integrated inside the seat tube. This new solution reduces the weight, improves the design and increases the cleanliness of the system by limiting the amount of dust and sweat that can get inside.
New Talon Ultra FAST
The new Talon Fast integrated cockpit is lighter and more aerodynamic than ever before. It features a natural twisted lever position which allows riders to find aero positions in a safer way.
Superior handling and comfort
The Dogma F has always been celebrated for its precise handling, and the 2025 model is no exception. The new bottom bracket and headset designs contribute to the bike’s stability and responsiveness, allowing riders to corner with confidence and navigate challenging roads effortlessly. Despite its aggressive race geometry, the Dogma F remains remarkably comfortable, absorbing road vibrations and minimizing fatigue during long rides.
Cutting-edge components
Equipped with the best that Shimano and SRAM have to offer, the 2025 Dogma F is designed for those who demand the highest performance. The integrated Most Talon Ultra Fast bar and stem combination provides optimal ergonomics and support. These components are meticulously selected to complement the frame’s capabilities, ensuring a harmonious blend of speed, comfort, and control. The world is your oyster when it comes to wheel selection, but we would personally opt for Princeton Carbon Works or Lightweight to top off this superbike specification.
Price and availability
The 2025 Pinarello Dogma F is available as either a frameset (£5,500) or full bike equipped with either Shimano Dura Ace Di2 or SRAM Red AXS and Princeton Carbon Works wheels. Contact us to discuss custom builds and availability.
