Description
Ideal for everything from Gran Fondo races to daily training sessions the Paris Rival AXS Road Bike is a bike to take us further in our cycling conquests. It’s aptly named “Paris” as a nod to the countless wins Pinarello has secured in big-time races. It takes many cues from the dominating Dogma but the Paris is designed to be more accessible to a wider range of riders. We get a satisfying taste of Pinarello’s speed along with a comfortable geometry ensuring this bike falls under the endurance category. But that doesn’t mean this bike has an issue getting out and racing. With this bike we can maintain maximum comfort going fast over long stretches of road. In short it’s a gateway bike to Pinarello’s world of speed-loving steeds. We like that the Paris features flat-mount disc brakes which are ideal for most endurance machines due to their reliability and modulated braking. And let’s not forget about the buttery-smooth wireless shifting that comes with the new SRAM Rival eTap AXS 12-speed groupset. It comes at a price that won’t break the bank but performs in our opinion just as well as groupsets valued at a higher price. In comparison with the Dogma and Prince the Paris finds a real balance in the reach and stack. The shorter reach and higher stack make for a more comfortable ride that does not forgo the reactivity which is a feature we tend to rely on with any road bike. The Paris puts a real focus on comfort without compromising on the racing spirit we love to see in Pinarello bikes. And it has the clearance to accommodate 30mm wide tires which has become more of a standard on endurance-focused bikes. *Due to unprecedented demand in the global supply chain and the bike industry over the last 18 months material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated and any adjustments will be minor. If you have any questions reach out to a Gearhead by chatting online or calling 1-888-276-7130.
