Pinarello Dogma XM 9.9: A revolutionary full suspension

(google translate)In comes a Pinarello Full proposing many very innovative features in version Front, the Dogma XC. There is to say that the news on paper are so many innovations and also, let's see if in practice they will become significant benefits.
The Onda Curve Asymmetric™ ah one point less bending than the other frames and use the "bending" of carbon on the bandwagon (monocoque) to amortize the small bumps, so a higher stiffness to the normal full but when you enter in land really rough here comes the shock action in giving driving pleasure undoubtedly superior to the front. A technology of the latest generation of rockers derived from Formula One cars, special materials and a particular stratification of carbon allows a precise and controlled bending.

The suspension will be a guarantee given that Pinarello has chosen the company for both Fox fork is for your shock. The bike has no control remotely using the technology of Terralogic Fox for the fork (according to the roughness opens and closes by itself) on the shock while the system is similar and is called ProPedal (and remember that in the case of SRAM XX1 also the command of the front derailleur is to disappear).
Other innovative system (PINAFIT with Forkstopper™) is the fact that the fork is stopped by a particular reinforcement in the vicinity of the lower steering tube, so there is a full rotation of 360 °, dangerous in case of fall seen that many frames are broken for the contact between the brake levers (or exchange) with the horizontal tube of the bike). The system also presents in Dogma XC.

Description by Pinarello:"Most frames on the market today have about 6 points of rotation with bushings.
This almost always takes place near the wheel or the bottom bracket. The sixth rotation point is always active, regardless of terrain, and therefore results in an inevitable weak point, a heavy point since there are bushings and screws, a point which requires constant maintenance and cleaning .
All this no longer exists in Dogma XM, we have eliminated the weak point!
Our rear stay Onda Curve Asymmetric™ has only 5 flex points, an extraordinary monocoque in which the kinematics functions thanks to its exclusive carbon flexible arm that makes the quadrilateral rigid on even grounds and flexible only on uneven grounds.
You can easily imagine the benefits of this: a stiffer and more reactive bike, active and absorbing only if clearly needed.
A cutting edge technology derived directly from the rocker arms of Formula One cars, special materials and a particular lay up of carbon that allow a precise and controlled flexion able to rotate our rear quadrilateral Onda Curve Asymmetric™ with extraordinary and infinite precision".

All cables run internally and through pin is present on both the front and rear. The head tube is tapered and the bottom bracket is the proven Shimano PressFit. As we have seen in the Pinarello has introduced a unique bike all the latest news with many of their inventions that will surely please the fans, we'll see what they'll say the first verdicts.
