Pinarello MY26 Dogma XC XX SL Eagle AXS 120 Mountain Bike
The Pinarello Dogma XC XX SL Eagle AXS 120 is engineered for riders who demand World Cup-level cross-country speed with the added confidence and capability of a modern 120mm suspension platform. Built around Pinarello’s elite carbon XC chassis and equipped with SRAM’s flagship XX SL Eagle AXS Transmission drivetrain, this configuration embraces the reality of today’s technical XC race courses — faster, rougher, and more demanding than ever before.
Modern cross-country racing no longer revolves around smooth climbs and simple descents. Technical rock gardens, aggressive drops, steep chutes, and high-speed cornering now define elite XC competition. The Dogma XC 120 is built specifically for this new generation of racing — delivering lightweight efficiency, precise handling, and increased suspension control without sacrificing the explosive responsiveness expected from a true XC race bike.
Advanced Carbon XC Chassis
At the center of the Dogma XC is a lightweight Toray M40J carbon frame engineered for maximum stiffness-to-weight efficiency. Pinarello optimized the chassis for immediate power transfer and precise steering response while maintaining enough compliance to preserve traction and control on rough terrain.
The geometry reflects a progressive XC mindset. A longer front center and refined reach dimensions improve descending stability and high-speed confidence, while the rear triangle preserves the agility and acceleration required for tight switchbacks and punchy race climbs. The result is a bike that feels planted through technical terrain yet remains lively and reactive under acceleration.
120mm Suspension for Modern XC Racing
This Dogma XC configuration uses 120mm of front and rear suspension travel, increasing capability and rider confidence compared to traditional 100mm XC setups. The added travel allows riders to maintain speed through rock gardens, root sections, and rough descents rather than backing off in technical terrain.
Up front, the bike features a FOX 34 Factory SC Kashima fork with 120mm of travel, paired with a FOX Float SL Factory Kashima rear shock. The suspension kinematics are tuned for strong mid-stroke support and efficient pedaling behavior, minimizing unwanted suspension movement during hard climbing efforts while remaining highly controlled and composed on descents.
The system balances lightweight XC race efficiency with the confidence typically associated with short-travel trail bikes — a combination increasingly essential in modern competition.
SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS Transmission
The drivetrain features SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS Transmission, one of the lightest and most advanced wireless mountain bike drivetrains available. The direct-mount Transmission architecture improves derailleur alignment and durability by eliminating the traditional derailleur hanger, resulting in highly precise shifting performance under load.
The wide-range 10-52T cassette paired with a 34T chainring delivers climbing efficiency for steep race terrain while maintaining the gearing range required for fast transitions and sprint efforts.
Race-Ready Handling and Control
The Dogma XC 120 is engineered around confident technical handling. A lower center of gravity, balanced geometry, and carefully tuned suspension linkage create stable cornering characteristics and predictable control at race speed.
While the increased suspension travel improves descending confidence and technical capability, the bike still maintains the sharp steering and immediate acceleration expected from an elite XC race platform. It bridges the gap between lightweight race efficiency and modern technical confidence remarkably well.
Integrated MOST XC Cockpit
The MOST Talon Ultra XC integrated cockpit combines the handlebar and stem into one lightweight structure for excellent steering precision and clean internal cable routing. Integration remains race-focused while still providing practical fit options for competitive riders.
The cockpit is paired with a FOX Transfer SL Kashima dropper post, improving technical descending capability while keeping overall system weight extremely low.
DT Swiss Carbon Wheel Performance
The bike rolls on lightweight DT Swiss XRC 1200 Spline carbon wheels paired with Maxxis Rekon Race 29x2.25 tires, delivering low rolling resistance, excellent acceleration, and dependable traction on modern XC terrain.
