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 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.
