- This is my Pinarello Dogma K10 Disk,
and it's quite unique for a road bike,
but I'm going to tell you exactly why in just a second.
I've had it for around six weeks now,
I've made a few changes
and I'm going to to tell you all about those as well.
(logo whooshing)
(relaxed music)
Let's start off with the obvious,
why is this bike so unique?
Well the Pinarello Dogma K10 features the DSS system,
which is the Dogma Suspension System.
And that affords me 10 millimeters of rear-wheel travel
via an elastomer system in here.
Unlike mountain bikes or other bikes with suspension though
the bike doesn't actually have any pivot points,
instead the flex comes from the Pinarello FlexStays
just down here.
10 millimeters does not sound like a lot,
but, on a day to day ride, you'll really notice the benefits
from just having that little extra bit of cushioning
at the rear end.
Now it seems like a weird choice for someone
that's always chosen an aero bike
and always wanted to go as fast as possible, perhaps.
The bike is still very aerodynamic,
featuring almost 90% of the same aero benefits
as the Dogma F12, which I had before this one.
But I'm riding a lot more than I used to at the moment,
nearly three times what I was doing last year.
And I thought it'd be really interesting
just to try something new.
And I'm really pleased that I've gone out there
and tried something that is a little different
because I actually quite liked a comfortable ride.
So believe it or not, I am one meter, 78.
And this is a 53 centimeter frame,
it has a 73.7 degree seat angle
and a 72 degree head angle.
And my saddle high is 75 centimeters
from the center of the top of the saddle
down to the bottom bracket axle,
the center of the axle again.
The main frame is constructed from
Pinarello's Torayca 1100-1K carbon which they use.
I have a 130 millimeter stem up on the front.
And something that I've trialed on this bike,
which I haven't done before,
is actually a narrower set of bars.
These are 40 centimeters from end to end.
And at the top of the hoods
they probably measure closer to 38 centimeters
as the bars are ever slightly flared
to get a more aerodynamic position.
It's something that I never would have tried in the past
because I was a big fan of 42 centimeter bars.
But actually having been in a wind tunnel
and noticed how much faster it will make you,
how many watts it saving you,
and not really noticing a difference
when it comes to the handling
I don't think I'd go back to the 42 centimeters
as a preference anymore.
Mounted on top of the Most Talon bar and stem is my Wahoo.
Now it's quite weird, these days, to see a Wahoo on a stem
and not at the front, but that's because I choose
to run lights on this bike quite often,
and actually prefer the vision of the lights
not obscured by the Wahoo when it's on an out front mount.
These bars are ever so slightly aero-flared
in the drop as well.
Again, aiding to a little bit of extra speed for free.
Mounted on the bars are the current model of Dura Ace lever,
that's running a 22 speed groupset with a 50/34 up front
and 11/28 out back.
The only reason I'm actually currently running
a 50/34 set up up front is because they were
the only rings available for that power meter
and I really like riding to power.
It effectively means I'm only missing out on one gear.
I'd choose to run a 53/39 these days if I had the choice.
Now, personally, I am a huge fan of disc brakes,
but recently I've been experimenting a little bit
because I have a theory.
I think that smaller rotors not only squeal more
but they are also less effective.
So I swapped out the Zip 303s
with the 160 mill rotors that this bike came with
and dropped in some Vision 55 Sls
with 140 mil rotors to try this out.
On those I've got Continental's GP 5000 tires.
Few other things to note,
I'm using a Fizik Arione saddle up the top.
It's always been my saddle of preference.
I'm currently using my own pedals
and my crank length is 170 mill.
And my bike, as you currently see it, weighs 8.58 kilos.
So there you have it, this is my Pinarello Dogma K10 Disc.
Let me know your thoughts down in the comments below.
Give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it.
But before you go I really want to know in the poll,
up there, on the top right hand corner
of your screen right now,
would you choose speed or would you choose comfort?
Oh, there's one final thing to do, isn't there?
In this situation.
That's the freehub soundcheck.
(wheel whirring)
That sounds pretty aggressive to me.
