Everything works out. And now it is. The Pinarello X1 is at once super comfortable, exceptionally easy to handle, beautiful - and at an amazingly good price. Being a real Pinarello road bike, we get everything we want even at this price level. The Pinarello X1 and X3 form a separate endurance family. We have arrived in the world of super-comfort with the X1.
Carbon fiber fabrics can be grouped in two ways. We can categorize according to tissue density and their types. There are classic crocheted (e.g. 1K, 3K, 12K) fabrics, and there are unidirectional, i.e. non-crocheted UD (unidirectional) fabrics.
The other grouping point is that a carbon fiber fabric has a high modulus, is strong, or is capable of high resistance. The former are very stiff and light, the latter are extremely resistant and more flexible. You cannot build a frame that is light, rigid and suitable for racing at a serious level without the dominant use of the former! However, without the latter, frame production does not exist.
Pinarello works exclusively with TorayCa, Toray's premium fabric manufacturing division, and at all levels they use the fabrics they produce and jointly dream up.
