We photographed and analyzed it during the stage of Vermiglio World Cup, but now the British champion's bicycle takes on "official connotations". Pinarello Crossista F marks the Treviso-based brand's great return to cyclocross and to the highest levelsCarbon hors categories and shapes that are the DNA of a one-of-a-kind platform. development process started in spring 2021 and after less than a year, the Crossista F is one of the most sought-after bicycles.
Shapes that make history
The curves, the muscularity and the abundant volumes of the pipes are a trademark. I am for road bikes and I am also for the Crossista F with which Tom Pidcock will face the world championship race in Fayetteville.
The Pinarello Crossista F is born a winner, thanks to a win and 5 podiums. Technically it is a carbon and monocoque bicycle. The fork is reminiscent of those supplied with the Dogma F, with some variables developed specifically for cyclocross. As is the frame, characterised by a bulky bottom bracket shell (which is obviously higher from the ground, for passing over obstacles). Its purpose is to ensure stiffness without negatively affecting rear-end grip, which in turn has horizontal stays curved upwards (gear shifter and thru-axle area). The seat stays are shaped, harmonious and have a low insertion at the seat tube.

Saddle knot for cyclocross
And then there's that flared horizontal pipe, created specifically to facilitate the grip of the bicycle when it is you need to get off the saddle and put the bike on your shoulder. Not just a detail. Even the seatpost, dedicated to this bike, is no random component. It's a sort of aero seat-post, made of carbon and with a deliberate setbackIt has a dual objective: to provide a perfect position for the athlete and to unload part of the weight onto the rear wheel, for optimal grip.
The height of the central section is higher than normal, to minimize contact with obstacles. The Pinarello Most Talos integrated and full carbon handlebar

A lightweight bicycle
The wheels and transmission are part of the package Shimano Dura Ace (11v). The tubulars are Challenge, While the saddle is FizikAnother interesting detail is the handlebar Most Talos (Pinarello), an carbon monoblock, a sort of compact that closely resembles the aerodynamic model used for road bikes. The upper section is flat. The base of the stem integrates with the head of the stem profile.third, with the characteristic shape typical of the Pinarello. The Pidcock bike has a declared weight of 7 kg and 390 grams, including pedals, an excellent value considering its category.
