Pinarello built a double gold hardtail for Ferrand-Prévot
The Dogma XC is currently ridden exclusively by Ineos Grenadiers riders Tom Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot. Both competed at the World Championships on the hardtail version while successfully representing their countries in short track races. In cross country, Tom Pidcock then opted for the fully, while Pauline Ferrand-Prévot once again took gold on the hardtail.
Both athletes have been actively involved in the development of the Dogma XC and Pinarello has developed this latest version, allowing them to excel on any cross-country course. This latest carbon hardtail version offers maximum lightness, stiffness and reactivity of the rear triangle and is designed for the fast race tracks.
Unique bottom bracket area
The Dogma XC hardtail frame is based on the same concepts as the full-suspension platform and focuses on offering the stiffest frame on the market in the bottom bracket area. This is said to have been achieved through a unique triangular design - allowing maximum power transfer when pedaling.
Asymmetry
The rear triangle features a patented asymmetrical design where the left side is reinforced so that the bike can compensate for the higher forces acting on the opposite side of the drive. The result should be a more balanced power transmission, higher speeds and better traction.
Asymmetry has also been maximized in other areas of the frame, with the chainstays and top stays taking this concept to the next level to withstand the heavy accelerations applied to the material in elite cross-country racing.Cockpit
The customized, fully integrated cockpit saves weight and offers greater steering precision compared to a two-piece alternative. The cable routing is also fully integrated, as is a special headset bearing that has an internal stopper at 60 degrees to prevent the handlebars from over-rotating in the event of a fall.
Ineos Grenadiers and France national team member Pauline Ferrand-Prévot says: "The new Dogma XC hardtail frame is stiff, fast, light and responsive, and it feels great to ride. I fly on this bike, especially on the climbs. I wanted a hardtail version as I am working towards the 2024 Olympics in Paris. I'm grateful to Pinarello for developing this frame and delivering it so quickly."
"From the moment Pauline Ferrand-Prévot signed with Ineos Grenadiers, she pushed us to develop a cross-country frame with a stiff rear end. This was not in our original plans, but we took up the challenge in record time and developed a frame that we are very proud of. With this and the full-suspension version of the Dogma XC, both they and Tom Pidcock now have frames that allow them to perform at their best on any terrain," says Fausto Pinarello.
The Dogma XC proved to be a success when Pidcock won both the men's short track and the cross-country World Cup in Nové Město with the full-suspension version, while Ferrand-Prévot triumphed at the French Cup.
