Non plus with ultra friendly price tag. The Pinarello XC was born with Tom Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Prevot celebrating three world titles at the big moment, and taking the technology down to a lower price segment. The cut result speaks for itself. He wants to be one of the benchmarks in every XC race MTB, splicing it with something even more. It moves 100mm front and back, but can also accommodate a 120mm fork - as well as being very lightweight.
Carbon fiber fabrics can be grouped in two ways. We can categorize by tissue density and their types. There are classic crochet fabrics (e.g. 1K, 3K, 12K) and unidirectional fabrics.
The other grouping aspect is whether a carbon fiber fabric has high modulus, strong or high resistance. The former are very rigid and lightweight, the latter are extremely resistant and flexible. A lightweight, rigid and competitive frame cannot be built without the dominant use of the former! Without the latter, however, there is no frame production.
Pinarello works exclusively with TorayCa, Toray's premium fabric division, using fabrics manufactured by them and jointly conceived at all levels.
M40X: The best, most complex and most expensive carbon fabric ever created by man. Its tensile strength is even better than that of the T1100, and its durability and overall quality are unprecedented. So there's nothing better than that, and Pinarello is the default to offer only the best of everything for your bikes. And that's TorayCa, specifically the M40X.
T1100: One of the highest quality carbon fabrics on planet Earth, made exclusively for Pinarello. TorayCa T1100G's 1K weave ultra high modulus carbon fabric is one of the highest quality carbon fiber products in the world. This is complemented by Nanoalloy technology, which uses aluminum microfibers to achieve superhuman drive efficiency and durability.
T900: The UD-woven carbon fabric of the TorayCa T900 offers an unparalleled balance of performance and lightness for all racers. Incredible rigidity and the supreme reality of performance characterize this product.
T700: The TorayCa T700 UD's carbon fabric represents an exceptional balance of performance and comfort for all cyclists. It is characterized by an amazing combination of excellent rigidity and vibration absorption.
T600: The TorayCa T600 UD carbon fabric was designed with exceptional comfort at the heart of our design work. It is characterized by extraordinary vibration absorption.
The Pinarello XC is a 29" wheeled luxury XC/marathon/downcountry racing fully MTB bike – ready to all race. TorayCa T900 UD ultra high modulus carbon frame set, asymmetrical frame design, Dogma MTB racing geometry, Unique Bottom Bracket Area, Flex Stays, Split Rear Triangle, Adjustable Travel and TiCR Technology. Boundless luxury even at this price level.
You don't choose him, he chooses you.
XC + GX Eagle AXS 1x12 + DT 1700: The SRAM GX Eagle AXS 1x12 range of electrical components is probably the best choice in this respect. The integrated carbon steering wheel of the MOST Talon XC, the wheels of the DT Swiss XR 1700 Spline and the Maxxis Tire Recon Race tires complete the magnificent carbon frame of the Pinarello XC.
