The Pinarello F5 is a New Affordable Superbike

Рет қаралды 28,666

Күн бұрын

Pinarello’s Dogma F is one of the most expensive production bikes on the planet. With complete bikes priced around $15,000, the Dogma is out of reach of many riders.
The new F is the bike for riders who crave the Dogma but not the ultra-luxe price. F models are heavily influenced by the Dogma F, which reigns as Pinarello’s top-of-the-line race bike. F-models look a lot like the Dogma F (and even share some features and geometry) but are cheaper alternatives to the pricey Dogma.

as a younger man (living and riding in Vancouver) i had a red Pinarello (so long ago i don't 'what' Pinarello exactly.. not the top end), and i would love to have one again.. it would be nostalgia reasons, and the legacy (as you mention).. but also because it is sooo unique looking. as you also said, very recognisable, as a Pinarello..

They don't make them how they used to. Their quality control is terrible for the price you're paying.

That same pinarello is on sale for $3,900 (new). Maybe worth it at that price and change out the wheels for some carbon wheels to get the weight down. I wouldn't pay $6,000, Canyon is a much better deal, but for $3,900, I'm thinking about it.

Great review, you’re spot on regarding the “smooth” and “robust” ride quality. I got an F5 on sale for $4k recently. I upgraded the crankset, the cassette and the chain to Dura-Ace / XTR to shave rotational weight. Ended up costing about $5200, which considering the F7 cost $8k for an Ultegra build that’s was a heck of a deal. I put a hot 60mm aero wheelset on it with Pirelli P-Zeros - and shaved an additional pound of rotational weight. Swapped out the aluminum stem/bars for an 1-piece integrated carbon one. That took off almost another .5lb It’s still one of the heaviest road bikes I’ve owned (it’s just under 17lbs). But it rides like a dream, and is stunningly beautiful. Pinarello frames are works of art.

I have an identical f5 which I bought off the back of a bike fit. It was one of the only if not the only bike that would fit my position. I was totally aware that I was probably paying 1k for just the name alone but that was worth it for something that fits well. The huge array of sizing is a massive selling point, a bike fitters dream compared to other frames. It’s a shame the wheels it comes with are heavy especially for the money. The over all weight of the bike is not the lightest, my 465 is around the 9kg mark with pedals, cages, wahoo and speed sensor. The wheels could easily shave 500g off as well as lighter tyres and tubes. Other than that it’s super fast and very comfortable for me. I think the X range will suit far more people who can’t quite stretch to the racy fit of the f range. I like how the geometry of the f5 is almost identical to the dogma f. Over all the bike fit was the selling point for me. Having ridden bikes that haven’t been right for a few years before, this is revolutionary

Good bike fitters don't care about having frames in 1cm increments. We have 40-150mm stems that come in 0 to -17 degree stems that can be flipped both ways without making a bike look weird. It's much nicer having Treks h1, h1.5 and h2 headtube lengths. It's unfortunate they're not offered at every price point though.

@jameshancock18 I've done thousands of bike fits. 1cm gaps between sizes isn't remotely necessary. That said, Pinarello's QC is abhorrent for the price people pay for them🤡

@jameshancock18 I don't know anyone with money buying expensive stuff that likes bad quality control. From out of round BBs, crooked brake mounts, paint drips keeping a derailleur hanger from laying perfectly flat etc, but to each their own🙃 I've sold bikes from a lot of brands and typically run the warranties in the shops I've worked at. I can honestly say that Pinarello's QC is quantifiably worse than Fujis. I've never sent a mid-range or high end Fuji back upon unboxing. I've sent 6 Pinarellos back immediately after trying to build them. And I've sold at least 50x as many Fujis as Pinarello's. I've had to destroy a few aluminum Fujis after they told me not to ship them back. They just sent us replacements.

@robertjmillerma1059 9 ай бұрын

In larger sizes, pay attention to lateral stiffness when testing. Mine shows some wobble at the top tube/head tube, and could be stiffer. Also, because of the weight, acceleration isn't super great and climbing is affected. The wheels, for a &6k bike, are a bad joke. And all that for $6000 plus tax, which leaves me disappointed in mine.

@SrFederico 10 ай бұрын

Nobody buys a Pinarello for the price, that’s actually not the aim of the brand, it’s a luxury brand and not a value brand like Canyon, Ribble, Decathlon etc. The wheels are a bummer as always, but most people who buy bikes at that price level will buy (or already own) good carbon wheels anyway, and Fulcrum make decent winter wheels. Same goes with the tires, people will upgrade to their favourite rubber anyway. The screw in the saddle clamp could be swapped with a variant that is screwable from the side, my older Pinarello clamp has such a variety installed from factory. It’s a small hassle though to get that thing.

@veganpotterthevegan 6 ай бұрын

Fulcrum has always been behind the times with narrow rims which makes them worse for the winter than summer. *People definitely buy Pinarello for the name. And it's really only a luxury brand in terms of price. Their QC and finishing is terrible relative to price. While I've never liked them and they're not advancing bike technology, at least overpriced Colnagos are built and painted well
