Description:
Pinarello Bolide F TT Frameset
The Pinarello Bolide F TT Frameset is the same WorldTour-level time trial platform raced by some of the fastest riders in professional cycling. Developed through years of aerodynamic refinement alongside Team INEOS Grenadiers, the Bolide F is engineered for one purpose: maximum speed against the clock.
From World Championship-winning rides by Filippo Ganna to Grand Tour time trials contested by Geraint Thomas, the Bolide F has proven itself at the highest level of the sport. Every surface, tube profile, and aerodynamic transition is shaped around minimizing drag and maximizing efficiency in sustained high-speed efforts.
This version of the Bolide F Frameset includes the MOST TT cockpit, providing a fully integrated aerodynamic foundation for riders building a dedicated time trial or triathlon machine without compromising the core aerodynamic architecture of the Bolide platform.
WorldTour-Proven Aerodynamics
The Bolide F is constructed from TorayCa M40X high-modulus carbon fiber, one of the most advanced carbon materials used by Pinarello. The frame utilizes asymmetric aerodynamic tube profiles refined through extensive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) development to reduce drag across the entire bike.
Unlike traditional road frames adapted for time trial use, the Bolide F is purpose-built specifically for aerodynamic performance. Every tube junction and airflow transition is optimized around straight-line speed and rider integration.
The frame also incorporates TiCR fully internal cable routing, eliminating exposed cables and preserving uninterrupted airflow across the frame surface.
Bolide TT Onda Fork with ForkFlap™
At the front of the bike is the Bolide TT Onda fork, featuring Pinarello’s signature wave-profile design adapted specifically for time trial racing. Integrated into the fork is the ForkFlap™ aerodynamic cover, designed to seal the airflow transition between the fork and front wheel — one of the highest-drag zones on any TT bike.
This creates a cleaner aerodynamic profile and improves airflow consistency through the front end while maintaining front-end stiffness and predictable handling at race speed.
Race-Tuned Time Trial Geometry
The Bolide F geometry is engineered around aggressive aerodynamic positioning and efficient sustained power output. A consistent 77-degree seat tube angle across all frame sizes positions the rider further forward, opening the hip angle for improved aerodynamic efficiency and optimized pedaling mechanics during long efforts.
Chainstay length remains fixed at 395mm throughout the size range, preserving consistent handling characteristics across all frame sizes.
MOST TT Cockpit Integration
The included MOST TT cockpit delivers a fully integrated aerodynamic front end designed specifically for the Bolide F platform. Developed by MOST — Pinarello’s in-house component brand — the cockpit maintains the clean aerodynamic profile required for elite-level time trial racing while providing a proven race-ready setup directly from the factory.
For riders seeking additional customization, the Bolide F also serves as a premium foundation for more advanced custom TT builds.
