Pinarello Dogma X
If you dream of speed, you’re in the right place. Grab a coffee, your gear wish list, and your pocketbook as we’re saddling up six of our favorite road bikes of the year, starting with Pinarello’s alt-flagship machine, the Dogma X.
How’s It Ride?
If you’re comfortable going fast and like being comfortable when going fast, the Dogma X may be for you—if you can afford it. Where Dogma F is razor sharp, Dogma X keeps the speed without the stiffness: more softness throughout the ride and geometry for longer miles.

How Ours Is Equipped
We say "alt-flagship" as Dogma X is Pinarello's top-shelf ride right next to the Dogma F. But X is alternative in geo and design to tame the Dogma just enough to level up the comfort for endurance-leaning ride quality. And since it's still a Dogma, we dressed the frameset accordingly with a Dura-Ace Di2 + power meter, MOST Talon Ultralight bar/stem, and Princeton Grit 4540 DB wheels.
