So, November has arrived, the weather takes the turn and bike shops generally start to set up for a few quieter months! The floors get swept, the workshop takes a change and certainly the ordering of stock takes a bit of a back seat! Well, 2025 is bucking that trend so far!
The 2026 Pinarello stock is turning up by the lorry load and its all hands on deck to get them put together. Some changes and face lifts for 2026 include the F series bikes mimicking the features of the 2025 Dogma with its oval steerer tube, subtle changes in geometry, fork rake and BB rotation. Obviously with this comes some fantastic new colourways!
The new X series bikes from X3 upwards now use the X stay rear end meaning they can fit 35mm tyres and are even more plush and smooth on the forgotten about North Devon Roads! The addition of the Grevil range is of big excitement to most of us. A true gravel bike which allows for proper porky tyres, mounts to carry your home and a full package that, dare we say it, with a 2nd set of wheels could be the “do it all bike” we have been looking for for years, not that we are here to encourage it!
F Series
So in recent days two of the new F series bikes have arrived. Both stunning, both very hard to photo and show the colour off! An Interstellar Grey F3 and a Starry Red F7. Same frames, different builds. Same great Pinarello ride we have all come to know and love. Stiff enough to transfer power without rattling your bones to osteopathy, comfy enough to ride for long periods and the traditional handling that makes you feel like you cant fall off them!
In store now are an F3 in a 51.5cm and the F7 in a 50cm. The F3 comes with slick shifting from Shimano 105 Di2, a two piece Most Claw cockpit. We are big fans of this as it means we can change the stem without having to strip the bike down again! Wheels supplied by DT swiss and all coming in at £4000 on the button.
The F7 uses the slightly more exotic T900 carbon and upgraded Shimano Ultegra Di2. The cockpit has been reshaped to fit the oval steerer and the Most Talon Ultra Fast bars, the same used on the top flight Dogma F, are fitted along with the UltraFast 45 carbon wheelset. All F series bikes carry clearance of up to 32mm tyres. All of this for £6500.
Stay tuned for more F series bikes to arrive and be available for test ride.
X Series
The younger brother to the F series models the X is the slightly more subdued, slightly quieter and slightly more sensible sibling. Those of you reading with kids will understand. You always have one mad one, one who causes chaos and another who is sensible who you can trust to carry the glass of water to your partner. This is that one!
X is slightly taller at the front, slightly shorter in the top tube and allows for 35mm tyres to be fitted for comfort. This by no means makes it a slow bike, its still got all the performance attributes the madder sibling gets, the asymmetry in the frame, the same carbons, the same Pinarello feel. Its just hidden within a sensible façade! The same price points are met too. So in store now, this week was the 2026 X3 priced at £4000.
Floowing the theme of X/F followed by a number, the X3 uses T700 carbon, Shimano 105 Di2, a two piece cockpit and a DT Swiss set of hoops. Full hose integration using he TiCR set up, as the groupset is wireless levers and the same X and Flex Stays that carry over from previous X5 and 7 models bought to the UK. The one in store is size 53cm and in a fetching Victoria Blue Matte colour way.
Again, X5 and X7 are to arrive soon so watch this space. X1 is already in store now!
Grevil F
A whole new kettle of fish for Pinarello. Yes they have had gravel bikes in the past but it never really met the UK market, I have one, but in comparison to these its left way behind. A gravel bike can mean a lot of things to different people. I prefer the term versatile but I dont think Versatile bike as a tag would get hearts and mouths moving.
These Grevil models are certainly that. Clearance for a go anywhere tyre, a down tube that can house a bag full of tools, tubes and pumps should you wish, frame bags that mount and STAY in place, no wobble, rattle or unwanted surprises. An adaptive seatpost which can flex upto 10mm to take out the bumps and a seat stay using twin arm tech which further dampens any nasty vibrations coming through to its rider!
Two in store currently, a Grevil F1 and a Grevil F5. Grevil F1 is the starting point for these versatile monsters. T600 carbon, Shimano GRX 2 X 12 groupset, Full TiCR integration finished with Vitoria rubber and another Italian classic with Fulcrum Wheelset. All coming in at £3k.
The F5 takes things up a notch with the more exotic carbon, a SRAM AXS Rival Groupset and a carbon wheelset specifically designed around Gravel riding. Same great features elsewhere and do it all mentality you want from a Gravel bike. All for £5000.
There is plenty more on the horizon, keep your eyes peeled. We have also been on it with 2026 Merida Bikes arriving so a post showcasing these will be available shortly!
