Pinarello\u2019s gold-medal winning Pinarello Dogma XC Hardtail has landed at BikeRadar HQ for further testing, with the cross-country bike featuring 100mm of travel and an asymmetric frame design.<\/p>

The Dogma XC Hardtail has already proven itself under Pauline Ferrand-Pr\u00e9vot at the Paris 2024 Olympics<\/a>, with the French rider taking the top step in the cross-country.<\/p>

This consumer-available model differs from the one used by Ferrand-Pr\u00e9vot, with a Fox 32 Factory Step-Cast<\/a> replacing the SR Suntour Axon-Werx 34 Boost EQ fork and DT Swiss wheels used instead of P1’s Singularis M30.<\/p>

We\u2019ve already brought you a first-ride review<\/a> of its full-suspension sibling, but before we put the Dogma XC Hardtail through its paces on home soil, let\u2019s take a closer look. <\/p>

Asymmetrical accuracy<\/h2>

The Dogma XC is made from a high-modulus Toray M40J carbon fibre<\/a> and features a rather quirky bottom bracket area that sees a bridge from the seat tube to the down tube.<\/p>

This is the same on the full-suspension Dogma XC, where the area supports oversized pivot bearings.<\/p>

Pinarello says the design aids in stiffness and efficiency.<\/p>

Ferrand-Pr\u00e9vot had a lot of input to the design of the Dogma XC Hardtail, working alongside Pinarello’s engineers and Tom Pidcock.<\/p>

As with many of the latest cross-country bikes<\/a>, the Dogma XC Hardtail features integrated cable routing.<\/p>

It enters the frame via the integrated Talon Ultra XC cockpit made by in-house brand Most.<\/p>

Pinarello says the cockpit reduces weight and increases steering accuracy compared to a two-piece alternative.<\/p>

Internal stoppers are used in the head tube to prevent the handlebar from over-rotating more than 60 degrees, making it impossible for shifters, dropper levers or suspension lock-out remotes to cause damage to the top tube in a crash.<\/p>

An asymmetrical design is used in the rear triangle, with the left-hand side reinforced to counteract the forces applied to the frame from the drivetrain.<\/p>

Pinarello says this results in a more balanced energy transfer and improves speed and traction.<\/p>

This design also removes the need for bridges between the seatstays and chainstays, allowing for greater tyre clearance and enabling shorter chainstays to be used, increasing responsiveness.<\/p>

\"Pinarello
Many riders choose to use dropper posts on cross-country bikes despite the weight penalty. – Scott Windsor \/ Our Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>

The bike comes with a fixed carbon fibre seatpost to shave off some extra grams, although there is routing should you wish to run a dropper post<\/a>.<\/p>

A 68-degree head angle is used, with reach measuring 470mm for a size-large frame.<\/p>

A single spec tier<\/h2>

The Dogma XC Hardtail is only available at one spec level, but don\u2019t be alarmed \u2013 it\u2019s equally as high-end as the frame.<\/p>

SRAM\u2019s lightweight XX SL Eagle AXS Transmission is used to shift gears, with the drivetrain matched to Shimano XTR single-piston brakes.<\/p>

Up front, there\u2019s a Fox 32 Factory Step-Cast fork, delivering 100mm of suspension travel<\/a> connected to a suspension lock-out remote that firms up the fork for less demanding trails.<\/p>

The bike rolls on 29in, carbon fibre DT Swiss XRC 1200 Spline wheels, which are booted in Maxxis Rekon Race 2.25in tyres.<\/p>

A Garmin bike computer mount features on top of the Talon Ultra XC, using a teardrop-shaped stem cap.<\/p>
