The Paris represents the mid-range of Pinarello's competition line of bikes. Built with a more cost-effective carbon fiber system with details and engineering that comes the evolution of the Dogma series bikes, and drawing most specifically in this updated version from the Dogma F12, the Paris is race worthy, but built for more cyclists to enjoy. This complete bicycle features the 11-speed mechanical Shimano 105 R7020 groupset with it's solid hydraulic disc braking system.

The mileage and versatility oriented Paris Disk frameset carries thru-axles, flat mount disc mounts, and T600 carbon fiber lay-up, with an evolved strength rating and a more forgiving ride. Like it's T700 Prince sibling, the frameset itself carries forward many Dogma F12 design and engineering features that ensure performance in a geometry that suits more cyclists than the Dogma or even the Prince FX model. If comparing to the Dogma F12 you will recognize some of the tube shapes and junctions, the Flatback aero tube design, as well as some very specific details that deliver more overall aero efficiency, including the TiCR full internal cable routing system and a modified ForkFlap system.

The Paris also has other great features, such as the 3XAir™ option for seattube bottle cage mounting with two positions available for better aerodynamics. The tubeset and seatpost shapes themselves are the more aero FlatBack design, and the downtube works to shroud bottle cage placements from passing airflow. The shapes also contribute to the overall torsional rigidity of the design, using Pinarello's Asymmetric engineering principles to offset the power transfer requirements of the right side drivetrain. This concept, carried through from the front fork dropouts, back through the frameset to the rear wheel dropouts, ensures that drivetrain efficiency is maximized directly through the rear hub. There is very little loss of energy from lateral flex, which also improves the overall ride quality in terms of handling, steering precision, and stability. You can see some of these elements, but much of the pure engineering goes into the carbon fiber lay-up process, which has been refined and executed for reduced weight without compromising the performance characteristics of the frameset.

From the tapered Paris Onda fork and headtube to the Italian threaded bottom bracket shell, the frameset delivers reliability and security that allows the rider to push the Prince to it's peak performance. Again, the bike a has race geometry, but in a fit that is a little more forgiving. The Shimano 105 R7020 groupset is a steady and reliable performer, and the disc braking offers stopping power and control. Pinarello tapped into their MOst components, Fulcrum wheelset, Vittoria tires and an overall attention to detail that keeps the price-point truly equitable to the build, allowing more cyclists to tap into the overall design excellence and influences that has allowed Pinarello sponsored pro cycling teams to dominate Grand Tour and many other podiums over the last decade.
