Team Sky and Pinarello launched the Pinarello Dogma F10 bike earlier this week, designed specifically for the new Shimano Dura-Ace 9150 Di2 electronic groupset. The concaved downtube integrates the electronic groupset's battery for charging and updating the unit via the so-called E-Link system, at the same time reducing drag on the downtube compared to the F8 model.
The frame is decorated with the same dot-dash design that adorns the 2017 team jersey, which was unveiled last December. The concaved downtube design first appeared on the Pinarello Bolide time trial frameset in 2016. Also inspired by a previous Pinarello model, the Dogma F10 also features a flap behind the fork dropouts, first seen on Bradley Wiggins' Hour Record bike.
With deliveries of the Shimano 9150 Dura-Ace groupset delayed to most WorldTour teams, Team Sky seem to have had the best luck in receiving new parts early thanks to their relationship with Pinarello. However, the team are still waiting on the latest Dura-Ace crankset and are therefore using a Dura-Ace 9000 series crankset.
