Pinarello have officially unveiled their 2020 collection, and it includes a lighter version of the recently launched Dogma F12 and F12 disc suitably called the F12 X-Light. You might need to work a couple of extra shifts to get one though, as the price is £6,000 and £6,200 just for the rim and disc framesets respectively.
New Pinarello Dogma F12 and F12 Disk launched
The Dogma F12 X-Light uses Pinarello's Torayca T1100 UD Dream Carbon material, which results in a 100g reduction in weight compared with the standard F12 frame. This unfortunately means a rider weight limit of 85kg, so you'll have to lose pounds from your waist and your wallet if you want one.
Throw on a set of suitably high-end carbon hoops like those in the pic above and with a full Shimano-Dura Ace groupset, and you can work out what kind of ballpark we're talking for a full bike... most likely well exceeding the five figure barrier.
If you're not a bilionaire then you might be more enthused by Pinarello's new Razha Disc. They say it "provides signature Pinarello technology at a competitive price point", and it comes sensibly specced with hydraulic disc brake, clearance for 28mm tyres and a Shimano 105 groupset. The full bike is priced at £2,500.
Also new is the Prince FX disc (prices from £5,500) and the Nytro Gravel, an adventure version of Pinarello's Nytro e-road bike with Fazua's removable Evation motor and battery system - this will set you back £6,000.
The X-Light and Nytro Gravel will be available from selected Pinarello stockists from October 2019, while the Prince FX Disc and Razha Disk are available from July.

I hate it when I can't find the obvious source of a puncture.
