With two world championship titles achieved on the Bolide, Pinarello has continued to push forward on the design of its marquee time-time machine. The new Pinarello Bolide TT features a whopping 350g claimed reduction in weight as well as lower aerodynamic drag compared to the prior iteration, thanks to fine-tuning of the carbon frameset design.
While changes were made for better aerodynamics, the Bolide TT retains Pinarello’s signature, swooping aesthetic.
The new concave down tube reduces the space between the water bottle and frame, thereby smoothing airflow and reducing drag. The rear brake gets a slippery new cover, the top tube was redesigned and even the front dropouts were tweaked for aerodynamics.

Pinarello makes the Bolide TT with Torayca T1100 1K carbon for use with electronic drivetrains and its own integrated brakes. Notably, the UCI-approved bike uses an Italian threaded bottom bracket — not a PressFit model — and will come in four sizes.
