Speaker 1: This is Egan Bernal's Pinarello Dogma F12 X Light. Is this bike going to dominate
stage races in 2020? Now, normally I'd be on the ground next to the bike picking it
up and weighing it myself rather than stuck here in Voice-over land. However, the bike
was shot for us by our mates over at GCN en Espanol, or GCN en Espanol in Columbia and
I'm back in the UK, so this is Voice-over time. Anyway, fear not, I've got all the cool
details about it and it's been weighed by the GCN en Espanol scales of truth.
Firstly, the frame remains unchanged from 2019 INEOS continue to ride the Pinarello
Dogma F12 although this is the special X Light version. It's ever so slightly lighter around
100 to 200 grams than the standard version and it's favored by team INEOS leaders. It's
kitted out here with Shimano Dura-Ace components and 60 millimeter-Dura-Ace tubular wheels.
Tires are the continental competition pro limited tubulars in 25 millimeters, very nice.
INEOS are still using rim brakes for 2020. In this respect, they're now in the minority
with most teams choosing to use disc brakes this season. For gearing, Bernal is running
a 54-42 Dura-Ace chain set matched to an 11/30 cassette. Now we often see the pros switch
out the chain sets depending on the parkour of the race. Garren Thomas has favored a 56
tooth chainring in the past on races with fast descents. Although for the mountains,
I fully expect Egan Bernal to use a standard 53-39. It's currently in a road bike time
trial mode for the tour of Columbia with the 60 millimeter Shimano wheels too.
Other details to show it's in full race mode, you've got the blue timing chip on the right
fork and the race number. Bernal is using number one. On top of the Pinarello seatpost
is a Fizik Antares R1 saddle with carbon rails. Interesting little detail. The mechanics have
marked Bernal saddle with two little white dots to help get the position spot on. Bernal
is using the Pinarello F12 proprietary Most one-piece cockpit upfront. His stem length
is 130 millimeters and the bar width is 40 centimeters. It's a very neat design, this
cockpit and the cables run through the stem internally and then either side of the steerer
tube. I'm also a big fan of his bar tape. The mechanics
have done a really neat job with this. There's no any finishing tape in sight. There's also
the proprietary out front Most mount that integrate into the bars under the stem for
Bernal's head unit and something else about his cockpit is there aren't any additional
shifter buttons on the bars. Just the standard lever setup. A lot of pros do like to have
additional shifters on the tops or sprint shifters on the drops, none here though.
Finishing up with the other components. We've got standard Dura-Ace pedals, Elite Vico Carbon
Bottle Cages, a Shimano power meter, a K-edge chain catcher, and a little neat Egan Bernal
label with the Colombian flag, nice little detail. Measurements now, the saddle height
is 75 centimeters from the center of the bottom bracket and the end of the saddle to the bars
is 47 centimeters. The saddle drop is 13 centimeters, so quite a bit of drop. Crank length is 170
millimeters and this is a size 53-centimeter Dogma F12. We weighed the bike and it came
in at 7.1 kilograms on our scales. At the tour last year with lighter climbing wheels
and the smaller chainset, Bernal's bike was coming in at 6.8 kilograms when we weighed
it. That's quite interesting that those components make a bit of difference.
I hope you've enjoyed the closeup look at Bernal's bike stay tuned for more pro bikes.
We like to keep them nice and up to date on the channel and let us know on social media
what you think about INEOS being one of the few teams continuing to use rim brakes this
season. [00:04:40] [END OF AUDIO]
