The Pinarello F1 is an affordable road bike with a world class geometry. It comes in at a much lower price than the Tour-winning Dogma but still packs plenty of speed to compete at a high level. The F1 is not a climbing bike, an aero bike, or an endurance bike; it is an all-around performance bike with no compromise. This bike is for the rider who wants to climb with ease, sprint ahead of the pack, and descend with confidence. Compared to the X, the F is more speed focused and less of an endurance bike but can still be ridden for miles on end. Pinarello knows that most F-Series models will never be raced, but they made sure that your daily ride will be had with race-level speed.
The frame of the F1 is made with T600 carbon fiber. Pinarello teamed up with world class carbon manufacturer Toray to create a carbon layup that is lightweight but designed mostly to dissipate road vibrations for a fun and comfortable ride. This type of carbon is more affordable than their higher end ones but still very light. T600 is still reactive and performance-oriented so you can get that Pinarello ride quality. With its ability to dampen vibrations, longer rides are a great choice on the F1. Pairing a carbon frame with Shimano RS171 alloy wheels balance that performance with a great price point.
Like most of Pinarellos high-end bikes, the F1 features an asymmetric frame. The thrust from pedaling applies equally to both sides, but the pull of the chain applies only to the right side. With asymmetry in the power of your drivetrain, it is up to the shape of the frame to balance those forces. The geometry of the frame is centered around the core values of Pinarello racing frames. The company is responsible for over 30 Grand Tour victories and about 70 years of elite performance. The F1 delivers the classic Pinarello race geometry to keep you at your fastest.
At the front of the F1, you will find the classic Onda Fork. This fork has been featured on tons of Pinarello race bikes since 2000 and is always improving. Its unique shape provides precise turning ability as well as stability. It also reduces the amount of shock from the road, both laterally and longitudinally. The F1 also supports internal cable routing with its TiCR system. This version is equipped with a Shimano 105 groupset for a great price on 12-speed mechanical shifting. The Pinarello F1 is a high-level performance road bike that will make you feel race ready on your daily ride.
