Last weekend, at the Tour of Flanders, we witnessed the arrival of a new Pinarello frame model: the Dogma K8-S. Here's a brief overview of the beast!
Compared to the Specialized Roubaix , which relies on Zertz viscoelastic inserts and the flexible Cobble-Goblr seat post, the Dogma K8-S features a rear suspension and flexible carbon seatstays (Flexstays) offering 10mm of travel. This new model promises to smooth out the ride on the cobbled sections of the famous spring races.
Falling into the increasingly popular endurance bike category, the Dogma K8-S frame remains under one kilogram. On the eve of Paris-Roubaix and its infernal cobblestones, this collaboration with the automotive manufacturer Jaguar adds an option for cyclists who want to tackle roads dating back to the Roman Empire or simply explore our beautiful Quebec roads.
For more details on this new model, described as a "game changer" by the 2012 Tour de France winner, Sir Bradley Wiggins, watch the video above produced by Pinarello. Perhaps you'll find the answer to your search for a frame that is both high-performance, lightweight, and ready to tackle our beautiful Quebec roads...
