Using the frame design of the ever-popular Gan K as a starting point, the Pinarello development team set out to create a bike that embodies the brand’s racing DNA while still offering its owner a stable and supremely comfortable ride. The result is a frame that features longer chainstays for enhanced stability, but still incorporates the exaggerated Onda design elements seen in the uncompromisingly quick Dogma F12, improving stiffness. Likewise, the frame’s large headtube, downtube and seat stays ensure a ruthlessly efficient transfer of power, counterbalanced by its generous 30mm tyre clearance for best-in-class comfort.

The frame is constructed from more Torayca's more affordable T600 carbon fibre in a UD finish (to save weight) and features several of the drag-reducing technologies seen on Pinarello’s more race-orientated machines. Like the new Prince, the Paris makes use of Pinarello’s aerodynamic ‘ForkFlaps™’, while a perfectly seamless fit where the fork meets the headtube and downtube promotes stable airflow over the bike’s frontal area.
