Pinarello is rolling into 2026 with a complete refresh of its F-Series line, blending trickle-down Dogma tech with a spread of build options to cover nearly every rider. The brand’s “born to race” mantra is stamped all over this launch; the new frames feature an elliptical steering tube and headset lifted from the Dogma F 2025, reworked aero shaping, and a stiffer rear triangle. Add in a compact “aero keel” bottom bracket and up to 32mm tire clearance, and the F-Series is looking leaner, meaner, and more versatile than ever.

What’s New Across the Pinarello F-Series
Pinarello packed the new F-Series with trickle-down Dogma technology, starting with a slimmer, Dogma-derived steering tube and headset that tightens the frontal profile while streamlining cable routing. A revised aero headtube with smoother lines adds stiffness, paired with a compact “aero keel” bottom bracket that’s both stiffer and sleeker. Out back, the rear triangle has been reworked for a sharper, more responsive ride, while a fully integrated seat clamp keeps the lines clean and shields the frame from sweat and dust. Add in 32mm tire clearance and disc-only, entirely internal routing across the range, and the F-Series looks every bit the modern race bike.
This isn’t a softened “endurance” race bike. Geometry remains sharp, with a consistent 47mm fork rake, compact 410–413mm chainstays, and reach/stack numbers tuned for aggressive fit.
The Dogma Is In The Details
The new F-Series isn’t just a trickle-down Dogma — Pinarello reworked the frame shaping to squeeze every aero and stiffness gain possible. The downtube is slimmer, with reduced wall thickness to minimize frontal drag, while the headtube receives a softer, more elliptical profile to both smooth airflow and enhance torsional stiffness. The new elliptical steering tube features different bearing diameters at the top and bottom, allowing Pinarello to reduce the frontal area and relocate cable routing to the front of the tube, resulting in a cleaner, faster nose.
At the bottom of the bike, the aero keel bottom bracket is compact, shedding excess volume compared to the Dogma F while actually increasing stiffness. Out back, the rear triangle has been reworked for more immediate response when laying down power, keeping the bike feeling reactive and snappy in race efforts. The integrated seat clamp is tucked into the frame, hiding from the wind while protecting the frame from sweat and grit.
Add all that together with full internal routing and tire clearance of up to 32mm, and the new F-Series delivers modern aerodynamics without compromising its race geometry. It’s every bit a Pinarello: sharp, sculpted, and unapologetically born to race.
It’s All About the Layup
Pinarello tiers its new F-Series not just by spec but by carbon level. At the top, the F9 and F7 use Toray T900 carbon (the Dogma F uses M40X fibers), the same series found on the Dogma F This high-modulus blend delivers the best stiffness-to-weight ratio in the line, keeping the chassis light, reactive, and efficient under power. Step down to the F5 and F3 and you’ll find T700 carbon, which is a touch heavier but tuned for a balance of comfort and performance — think slightly more forgiving on long rides without losing that snappy Pinarello feel. Finally, the F1 utilizes T600 carbon, the most accessible layup in the range, offering riders the same aero shaping and geometry at a more affordable price point, with a slight weight penalty compared to the higher-end frames.
In short, the higher the series number, the higher the modulus carbon, which means lighter weight and greater stiffness for the F9/F7. The lower series numbers trade grams for durability and value, but all share the same Dogma-inspired tech and geometry.
Pinarello F-Series Range
The Pinarello F series comes in a range of build options. Starting at $3,000 for the F1 with mechanical Shimano 105 and topping out at $11,000 for a full Shimano Dura-Ace build. Each build features Pinarellos’ in-house MOST components for bars, stems, saddles, and wheels. Although the MOST brand shares some similarities with others already on the market, it is designed and styled by Pinarello to emphasize the F Series design.
F9 — Top-tier race machine
Built from T900 carbon and spec’d with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, the F9 sits just below the Dogma in hierarchy. It comes stock with MOST’s Ultrafast 45 DB wheels, Talon Ultrafast cockpit, and Pirelli PZero Race rubber. Claimed weight: 7.4kg/16.3lbs. Available in Formula Green Matt.
Price: $11,000 / €11,000
F7 — The Ultegra/Force sweet spot
Also using T900 carbon, the F7 offers a choice between Shimano Ultegra Di2 or the new SRAM Force AXS. Both builds roll on MOST Ultrafast 45 DB wheels and cockpit—claimed weight: 7.8kg/17lbs (Ultegra). Color options include Formula Green, Alabaster White, Starry Red, and Victoria Blue. Price: $8,200 / €7,900 (Shimano) $7,500 / €7,900 (Force)
F5 — The people’s race bike
Dropping to T700 carbon but keeping complete aero shaping, the F5 comes with Shimano 105 Di2 and MOST Ultrafast 45 wheels. Claimed weight: 8.25kg/18lbs. Finished in Etna Black. Price: $6,200 / €5,500
F3 — Entry-level Di2
Also on the T700 carbon, the F3 features Shimano 105 Di2, DT Swiss A1800 wheels, and most aero cockpit parts. Claimed weight: 8.5kg/18.5lbs. Offered in Interstellar Grey or Alabaster White. Price: $5,200 / €4,500
F1 — Mechanical 105
The entry point into the line, the F1 features a T600 carbon frame with mechanical Shimano 105 components, Shimano RS-171 wheels, and a MOST/Jaguar alloy finishing kit. Weight TBD. Available in Carbon Red or Comet Silver. Price: $3,250 / €3,400
Pinarello F Series – Geometry Highlights
All frames use a 47mm fork rake and 72mm BB drop. Tire clearance: 32mm.
Does this mean more Pinarellos for the people? Maybe… For decades, Pinarello has been a brand you associated with the sharp end of the peloton and a sharp price tag to match. The Dogma has always been the halo bike, but the new F-Series shows a shift in strategy. By incorporating Dogma F tech into T700 and even T600 carbon layups, Pinarello is inviting more riders into the family without compromising its race-first DNA.
The timing makes sense. The mid-tier market has exploded; Shimano 105 Di2 and the new SRAM Force AXS (reviewed here) are everywhere. Superbikes priced at $12,000 and above are selling at a glacial pace. Riders still want aero integration, full internal routing, and pro-level geometry, but they want it at a price that doesn’t feel like a pro contract.
Pinarello’s answer is the updated F-Series: an exact, aggressive fit with the same aero shaping. Now available in builds palatable to most, that start with mechanical 105 and scale all the way to Dura-Ace Di2. More racers and club riders gain access, and Pinarello keeps its logo on more start lines, fondo events, and group rides around the world.
Born to race — and now born to be a little more attainable.
