Tela Pinarello Dogma XC Pure Gold
Dogma XC chassis were initially developed in collaboration with INEOS Grenadiers cyclists Tom Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, who have already achieved huge successes on bikes, winning both world titles in 2023 together with a series of other triumphs. The duo will compete on the Dogma XC at the Olympic Games of 2024 in Paris.

This frame offers extreme rigidity in the rear triangle and central movement, thanks to an oversized bearing and the joint point for the rear triangle.
Having only three fulcrum points on the rear triangle generally inhibits the rear wheel race, but the unique geometry of the bikes and the integration of the flexible sheaths combine to allow the ride more directly. These innovations also save weight, improve stiffness and offer a more direct feeling between cyclist and rear wheel.
The rear triangle consists of two separate wagons mounted on a main rotation point using a unique design in which two pins are co-printed together with the wagon.
This leads not to use any additional connection between the semi-carri: allowing a reduced length of the horizontal sheath and offering better handling and responsiveness, the elimination of critical areas of mud accumulation and the possibility of adopting larger tyres, offering cyclists a wider range of options.
The back suspension kinematic takes into account the integration of flexible phosphors to maximize energy transfer during pedaling, provide optimal compression/extension in technical descents and allow maximum control of the cyclist.
The friction in each joint point has also been minimized using a mixed bearing/box system. Bushings have been incorporated as they are sufficiently resistant to absorb high impact and low rotation forces on them, while bearings have been integrated where opposite forces apply (low impact/high rotation). This results in less energy dispersion, greater reactivity of the backbone and greater system life.
The anti-rise and anti-squat values have also been studied to create a bike that excels both in the steepest climbs and in the most technical descents.
The possibility to move the suspension connection point under the upper tube allows you to mount different rear shock absorbers, adapting to a wide range of travel options and allowing cyclists to adapt their bike to the unique needs of each race.
The rear triangle uses a patented asymmetrical design with the reinforced left side, allowing the bike to counterbalance the higher forces applied on the opposite side of the transmission. This results in a more balanced energy transfer, improved speed and traction.
Asymmetry has also been maximized in other areas of the chassis, with the chain and vertical phosphors that push this concept to a higher level to resist the powerful accelerations that are provided in the elite cross country races.
