The Pinarello X5 is not only beautiful, but one of the most attractive choices for lovers of the premium segment in the endurance division. The X5 is one of the strongest representatives of the endurance road middle category. Its geometry is exactly the same as the X7 and X9, and in terms of its appearance, the classic Pinarello features can be seen.
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.
