(electronic glitching)
- I'm here with the bike of Egan Bernal,
probably one of the hottest talents in cycling right now.
He's from Colombia, this year he's won the Tour de Romandie,
he's won the Tour of California.
This is his Pinarello F10 X-Light.
Let's take a closer look at it.
(upbeat electronic music)
Now, the F10 X-Light is the lightest
frame and forks combination in Pinarello's offering,
and instantly you'll notice there's no paint on it.
Instead it's a matte carbon finish.
Why is that, well, it actually saves approximately 100 grams
over a painted version of the same frame.
So if you are going for a lightweight bike,
this is the one to choose,
and it's certainly not to be sniffed at.
A hundred gram saving is a hell of a lot on a bicycle.
Now, he is one meter, 74 tall and he's opted
for a size 54 cm frame, but let's have a look
at what he's got decorated on that frame.
Now, fitted into the frame we've got Pinarello's
own proprietary seat post, and then just at the top of it,
the seat clamp assembly appears
to be a 3D-printed titanium little number there.
That's absolutely trick, I'd love to have
something like that on my bike.
Now, fitted inside of that saddle clamp assembly
is in fact the Fizik Antares with carbon-braided rails
just saving a little bit of extra weight there, too.
Fitted to the front end of the bike then,
we've got ourselves a Most F Series Tiger aluminum stem,
and at the rear of it, it does in fact have a kind
of cam tail or aerodynamically-shaped unit
to actually give a little bit of extra
aerodynamics when riding along.
Fitted into that stem, we've got ourselves
the Most XFC carbon fiber handlebar.
Now interestingly, they are an aerodynamic bar.
Fitted onto the handle bars then is
Shimano Dura-Ace 9150 DI2 STI levers,
controlling electronically the gearing setup.
And then we've got ourselves a
K-EDGE mount here for a GPS device.
Those brake levers, well they're paired up
with a pair of Shimano Dura-Ace 9100 calipers,
fitted with carbon-specific break blocks.
And why is that?
Well, they need to stop the Shimano Dura-Ace
9100's C40 carbon fiber tubular wheels.
They're shoved with Continental Competition
25 mm pro limited ALX tubular tires.
Then, if we look at the center of the front wheel,
down at the bottom there by the dropouts.
These are called fork flaps.
Now, apparently, according to Pinarello,
they can reduce aerodynamic drag of the fork by up to 10%,
and also have a better quick-release
skewer and dropout interface.
Derailleurs, well they're the Shimano Dura-Ace
9150 DI2, electronic, of course,
to match up with those levers previously talked about.
Now interestingly on this bike,
the rear derailleur is actually used
in the Shimano direct main system.
So, it's basically got rid of one of the pivots
allowing a more precise and accurate gear change,
something which has come generally
from the mountain bike side of things,
but we are seeing trickled into the road side.
Cassette-wise, that's an 11/28 cassette.
Which is pretty much standard these
days for professional cyclists.
Then the chain rings, 53/39 and they're
fitted to a pair of 170 mm cranks.
Which are interestingly enough,
the Shimano Dura-Ace 9100-P Power Meter chain set.
So it's a dual-sided unit to provide Bernal the
exact numbers he's gonna be riding to
when the going gets tough, I guess.
Now the pedals, they're Shimano Dura-Ace 9100, too.
So what about the finishing touches on this bike, then?
What's different from one which you'd find in a shop?
Well, first up, this bike can be run
with a standard cable derailleur system set up.
So, Team Sky Mechanics, they've removed the inserts
that you would normally find here on the frame,
and instead they've replaced them
with a little bit of sticky tape, I guess.
Really, just to cover up those holes
and keep it nice and smooth so
the air just flows over it well.
Then we've got the DI2 cable that's shrinkwrapped
alongside the rear brake cable into the top tube.
And that is done really neatly actually,
one of the neatest I've seen so far.
Down here on the hubs, there are very small
little French flags, and no,
these hubs aren't made in France.
I think that denotes that basically,
these are wheels designed just for the Tour De France.
They do look absolutely brand new.
There's no signs of any heavy braking,
any dents or scratches, anything like that on them.
I think they're brand-spankers.
Egan Bernal, he's very lucky indeed.
On the down tube, this is where the DI2 junction box is
housed, into a specific recessed section of the frame.
Sticking with the frame, just ran there onto the seat tube,
if you look there's an extra mount here.
So, apparently, the backseat you can actually
remove the bottle cage slightly further
up the seat tube, if you so wish.
So if you didn't like the long reach,
I guess you could call it, that'll get
ya the next beat on it.
Well, you could just move it up and have a little bit
less time to waste, I guess, going for your bottle.
Now, the bottom bracket interestingly is threaded still.
So most manufacturers do tend to go
for a push fit or a press fit style bottom bracket,
but this one is actually an Italian thread.
So it's very unusual these days to actually
have a threaded bottom bracket
on a top high-end road bike like this,
let alone with an Italian thread,
but I guess Italian bike, Italian thread.
Bottle cages, well, they're carbon-fibered.
They're from Elite and they're the Leggero model.
They're quite minimalistic, too.
In fact, looking on this bike,
there is nothing added on there which you would think
to yourself isn't really needed.
So there's nothing for a number mount or anything like that.
What about the measurements, then, for Bernal?
Well, tip of the saddle to the center
of the bottom bracket, that's 76 cm.
Then from the tip of the saddle to the center
of the bars, 58 cm, and he's got a drop
of 13 cm from the saddle to the step.
What about the weight then?
Check that out, 6.84 kilos, just 40 grams
over the UCI minimum weight limit.
Now, let me know what you think of Egan Bernal's bike
down there in the comment section down below.
I think, personally, it's got a really minimalistic
look to it, but it's beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
Anyway, it's not about me, it's about you.
What do you think of it, let me know.
