In other words, the carbon isn't a fairing for an aluminum rim. You get featherlight 50mm deep carbon rims with a sculpted aero profile as durable as they are mouth-watering.The tires are Continental Competition GP Tubular Tire. A supremely high-performance tubular tire that is a perfect match for these race wheels. Features the same ASC technology as the G.P. 4000, so you know you'll get loads of traction and low rolling resistance. They use of a supple casing and a featherlight tube results in a super-light tire ready to handle any and all racing conditions. And a new innovation is the addition of a Vectran breaker belt. Vectran is more cut-proof than any other puncture-protection belt in the bike market. And its flexibility gives you a faster, more comfortable ride. It's the tire used by T-Mobile, Unibet, and countless other ProTour teams. The custom paint is as beautiful as a Tuscan sunset. The frame and fork are yellow fluo. The chain stay is red replica. The graphic color is green fluo, and the front of this Dogma introduces itself with a red Pinarello logo.  Though the Dogma is a magnesium frame, Onda FPX carbon fiber is present in its fork and seatstay.  Rather than being straight the Onda fork and stays have a notable "s" shape. This curvature gave these models enhanced stability during braking and cornering, and good bit more vertical compliance. With the Dogma FPX Pinarello built a second "wave" into the Onda "s" shape. This redesigned shaping is known as the Onda FPX, and it serves to further reduce vibrations and increase comfort on any road surface.                           Place a Bid!
