 From the experience of Pinarello and the continuous search for new successes, Pinarello Bolide F is born. 

The updated design has achieved a 2.28% CdA reduction compared to the previous Bolide F TT by incorporating the following key features:

AirStream technology – Developed in collaboration with the University of Adelaide and aerodynamics R&D partner NablaFlow, and inspired by the tubercules found on the flippers of humpback whales, a unique pattern of AeroNodes have been integrated onto the seat tube and seat post to reduce the complex vortexes generated by riders’ leg movements in order to improve airflow.

AirFoil sections on the bottom bracket and wheel hubs are longer and slimmer to reduce the frontal area. These innovations take advantage of the UCI’s decision to remove its 3:1 rule and research found aspect ratios of 6:1, and even 8:1, performed significantly better than that original 3:1 benchmark.  

Reinforced chain stay and bottom bracket – This has allowed tyre clearance to increase from 28mm to 32mm, compared to the previous model, without compromising responsiveness and stiffness. 

This is sold as a frameset only, but Pulse Endurance is one of the only dealers in the US with experience in fully custom building multiple Bolide Fs with both Shimano (Dura Ace Di2) and SRAM (Red eTap AXS).

PLEASE NOTE: The basebar and extensions pictured in Pinarello stock photos are the custom measured 3-D printed titanium versions ($34,000) that require a fitting/measurement session to size to the rider. The basebar and extensions that come with the “stock” 2023 Bolide F TT frameset are similar in profile to the basebar/extensions used on the Bolide TR. However, Pinarello does produce a carbon Olympic Bar Extension cockpit that provides the upward extension tilt that is the current trend in TT and Tri.
