Pinarello

This bike is a total pleasure to ride. Comfortable, fast and very sound. I have only owned it for a few weeks so far, but it handles the dirt fire roads real well here on Mt. Hood. For some reason you are hesitating just pull the trigger you wont be sorry I promise you!!

I haven't purchased something in a long time that really impressed me like this Bike from Pinarello.

Ordering this bike from BTD was a very easy process and the bike came very securely packaged, so I would have no hesitation ordering a bike again from BTD. The bike itself has been great (I am 5'11" and purchased the size 55 frame), my previous gravel bike was a 2019 Salsa Warbird with a mechanical groupset that I had upgraded heavily, so this is my first electronic groupset, which took getting used to. It should be known, that the very cool aero frame bag and internal storage bag that Pinarello advertises with this bike, do not come included, and have been very hard to find for sale in the US. I was finally able to track down the internal storage bag after several months of looking, but the frame bag remains elusive. The bike is very stiff and extremely responsive and still handles well on rough mtb level gravel. I did have to get a shorter stem and narrower handlebars in order for the bike to fit me. The bike itself feels fairly robust and not a flimsy lightweight, my bike in its original setting weighs about 19lbs. I did purchase a force AXS thread on power meter right away and Red thread on chain ring right away for the bike as a power meter is not included with the bike, which is why I rate the value rating on the lower side as you can get similar level of components and bike for the same price or less with a power meter. My biggest draw to the bike was the aero style race frame that maintained the extra bosses for different bikepacking mounts, best of both worlds. The 50mm tire clearance is great as well and I am currently running the 50mm Conti Dubnitals. I was disappointed, however, to see that the rubber frame guard on the down tube of the bike was peeling off slightly within a ride or two, which I reached out to Pinarello about, however, they never responded to me, also contributing to the value rating. Overall I am very happy with the bike as it seems like an excellent ride for aggressive gravel riding and racing.

Got this bike for my wife and so far she loves it. She find it very comfortable. She's been able to get 65 miles with one single charge using the medium setting. The SRAM AXS Rival is great as well. We have several Pinarello bikes and this one is just as beautiful as the others we have. The wheels are entry level and will be replaced with something better to improve the ride and weight. This bike is heavy at 35lbs so make sure you have enough charge on the battery or it's going to be a long ride back with no power. Somehow, the screws that hold the battery came loose and got lost but Biketiresdirect contacted Pinarello and they sent us some new ones.

This bike is fantastic! It offers an exceptionally comfortable riding position, allowing you to spend hours in the saddle, enjoying every mile to the fullest. The wheels are another highlight, providing great stability and responsiveness, while the new SRAM Force groupset leaves nothing to be desired. Aside from perhaps a wider saddle, there's nothing else to change ' just take it out of the box and ride! A true gravel machine!
