Less than a minute in I knew everything i needed to know about it. 1 its beautiful, 2. it will be crazy expensive and 3. Even if I could afford or was allowed to buy another bike the waiting list for these will be so ridiculously long, there's no point in trying.
Train [a LOT] more if you don't like to wait! Top 5 finishers at major gravel events get them on release day. But then again - they're at a level of comp where the latest and greatest makes an actual difference ;)
Love the bike. One minor point I don't get that all the reviewers I've seen keep bringing up: The seat tube clamp being in front of the tube instead of behind it. I have last year's Grevil and my seat tube clamp is in the exact same place, in front of the tube. Also - it's not a change - the third bottle mount is also on the old model. I'd love to get the new one but I still love my "old" Grevil - I just hope Pinarello sources the new fork so I can TICR my cables too!
Crossing the Atacama desert on a Pinarello to me sounds like crossing it with a Ferrari on off-road tyres; sort of a TopGear approach to life. With GCN recently having become the equivalent in the bike world I definitely petition for this to be a thing!
Thank you fro the sharing the information as I just bought one yesterday and waiting to delivery. Manon you always are the best in reality to believe you with facts of Cycling.
It's called the Fork Flap on a 2020 Grevil as well. This is NOT a new concept and it's purpose is not aerodynamics, but to protect the disc on disc brakes from debris.
What an awesome bike. My OCD kicked in though when you showed us the asymmetric split. As a mainly gravel rider, this sure does look nice to ride though. Thanks Manon!! 😀
Little fancier than my salsa journeyman but my bike gets me everywhere I need to go. Just wish I had a clutched rear mec. Hydraulic brakes would be nice too.
There are several features that Manon didn't mention. The tube is shaped to minimize rock damage and to add to stiffness. The bike is also "beefier" in the fork, head tube, and both sets if stays for use on gravel vice the Dogma F. The Italian "dub" bottom bracket also eliminates noise and maximizes power transfer.
It's beautifully designed! 😃👍 BUT... with such an aero downtube with a flat backside Pinarello should offer a specific bottle cage and/or bottle, like BMC! 😉
Tech Q here I LOVE the look of the Sram flat top top chain. But I run an 11 speed shimano ulterga groupset. Sram on the other hand does.12 speed so my question is could I simply take out/add some links to make it fit my setup? Or do I have to change multiple components? Plz help! My current chain has 126 links where as Sram flat tops very from 114 links to 120. Could this be as simple as adding a few links to match my 126 or would the size and gaps not fit ? Thanks for any help
The consensus is that it won't be properly compatible. But then again - they say that about everything - and yet I've matched a Sram 22 crankset to a Shimano Ultegra groupset (2 x) - and it works very well.
Nice bike. Great job Manon. I have nothing against Si but it's good that someone else has the opportunity to present new stuff. Still holding onto italian BB?
I was in my favorite LBS two days ago, and they had a Pinarello Paris with Shimano 105 for $3500. It was a size 60, so too big for me. It'll be a year or more before I see one of these up close.
Why do people feel the need to comment on Manon after every video? You don't see similar comments for videos with Hank, Si, Ollie etc... but just in the 47 comments that are here as I type this we've got: "A nice girl on a nice bike" "Manon 😍😍😍" "A video full of beauties" "Beautiful and so is the bike"
Hello GCN, I ride around 8,000 miles a year on the rural roads of south Leicestershire, which are in a shocking state. I've done all the usual things to reduce road vibration (double bar tape, adapted tyre pressures, etc) and now ride a Specialized Roubaix and Giant Defy Advanced, which are the best road bicycles that I've come across for dealing with our terrible roads, but would a gravel bicycle be an even better option? If so, which one would you recommend whilst still giving good pace on road? Many thanks.
I'm not GCN but not necessarily would be the answer to your question, you'd get more cush from being able to run fatter tires sure. Something like a Salsa Warbird, where the rear end is specifically designed for vibration reduction might be worth a look. However geometry is typically slacker than a road bike, but varies from road-ish to almost an MTB so you may not get the handling you'd want on the road. But there's also the popular (among gravel riders) Redshift stem and seatpost which you could fit to any bike. Going tubeless and dropping the pressure more than you can with tubes if you haven't don't so is massive on crummy roads. Could save you from buying a whole new ride.
Ok I just remember that this Pinarello has to prove it vs the Pinarello that was built up GCN... am waiting for the results and the video... let's say a 200 Mile Gravel road test... summer solstice is coming... ok I can leave it to just the 100.
This bike has nearly everything which i don’t like on Gravelbikes: InternalCabelrouting (bad for working on it), aerodynamic seatpost(do i get another one in 5 Years) and design overkill at the frame…
4% faster at your normal gravel speed of 40 kph But I guess if you put in one more slowmotion of riding trough the same mud puddle it would be a better promo video. But to be honest, I allways like the looks of pinarello
It's not 4% faster, it's 4% more "aero" which saves you 5W in ideal conditions. Keep in mind those ideal conditions never occur on some bumpy gravel trail.
@@iddra1868 It almost never occurs on the road in normal conditions either, hard to find those aero benefits when you waiting for the lights to change or in the wake of the cars that pass every few seconds or so.
I have another bike that claims to be aero gravel. Probably the original aero gravel bike. And I couldn’t care less about saving watts. I just dig the looks.
Nice bike but again a gravel bike that‘s only available in black, moss green and brown (even if it is called champagne). I have the feeling that the fork flap will cause compatibility tears at some point.
That billboard size logo and the paint job are not appealing to me in the gravel category. I don't get the aero design, too; maybe I like more technical trails than fire/dirt roads, etc. and air drag is not in my concern.
