Video Review: Pinarello F12

[@bourquek]

Dogma geometry seems to actually have taller head tubes than most aero bikes. And there are a lot more sizes than most bikes too. It looks like it would easily fit more people than most other aero bikes.

[@LordAus123]

If I’m not mistaken, adding discs to a bike introduces greater drag than removing exposed cabling, because of the rotation of the discs (the top of the disc hits the wind at twice the speed of the rest of the bike, like the top of the wheels). Could this be why reductions are given in percentages for certain aspects of the bike instead of watts overall? Anyway, it’s a modernization to meet the new trends and expectations of consumers and no bike will make up for being even 50w weaker than your peers, and if you’re riding under 35km/h aero matters less and less compared to absolute power. And interestingly, Pinarello geometry is not the most aggressive out there. It’s rather balanced, though race oriented (as opposed to say Trek’s h2). I say all this as an F8 owner with deep rims, so I’m a fool for marginal gains, but I realize that getting an F12 will have a greater effect on my feelings than on my riding

[@nicensleazy1892]

you never got to the differences of the F12 v F10

[@Sills71]

Disc brakes only add weight.. the pros would not ride them if they had a choice... Ineos uses rim brakes, they are the last pro team to retain control of what they ride.

[@nicensleazy1892]

If I want disc brakes I will buy a Ducati. All industry driven !

[@centuryfreud]

Or MV Agusta Senna.

[@Lenny-pq5kc]

😂😂👍🏼

[@DelPi1974]

If you look F8, and then F10 and then F12 video you'll laugh, same pattern just another number alongside the F letter. :D

[@bikecheftwenty-two9907]

That bike maybe with-in reach for you but not for us poor folk, we'll just dream.

[@AndyClarkRealReviews]

Same here...a bit out of my grasp too but riding the demo sure was nice!

[@timetrialist]

"They're within reach" $13,000 MSRP? I don't think so 😂

[@adrea100]

Hi Andy how is the F12 for climbing? I do Gran Fondo's and currently ride a BMC SLR 02 it climbs nicely thinking of getting a PINARELLO F12. Would love your feed back

[@elviracatherinetalaoc2070]

Hi Andy, is this bike comfortable for a long ride? I currently own a specialized Roubaix.

[@shumlai1506]

How does it compare to an equivalent Cervélo?

[@georgesolomon5696]

Good review, well done..

[@AndyClarkRealReviews]

Thanks!

[@centuryfreud]

F10 is plenty for amateurs, no need for an F12.

[@centuryfreud]

Where are you riding? Temecula?

[@AndyClarkRealReviews]

Yep. You nailed it!

[@RobBlazoff]

Snaaaaaaaaaaap

[@AndyClarkRealReviews]

Braaaaaaap

[@yendoradon7836]

N+1

[@AndyClarkRealReviews]

I wish my wife understood that equation (SMH)

[@kujux800]

i dont know how Pinarello has made their bikes look more ugly... but they have. Disc brake will make this bike feel like tank.

[@centuryfreud]

Yup, the F10 looks way better.
