Earlier this year team Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling posted the brand’s updated identity for the 2026 season. The post covered details of the kit from Q36.5 but if you haven’t seen the bike, it’s worth a second look.
Photographer Roberto Bragotto works with Pinarello regularly but these images of Tom Pidcock’s bike are truly exceptional. For those intrigued by the photography piece, he’s using a Canon R3 with the 70-200 F/2.8 lens and the studio images are taken on a Hasselblad H6D-50C.
If bike tech is more your thing, this is the Pinarello Dogma F and you can buy the exact build by choosing the Team PQ3 Replica option. That’s the flagship product from the Italian brand and the frame uses the same flagship Toray M40x carbon fiber that XDS referenced in the XDS X-Lab RT9. Both brands choose that material as a way to keep the stiffness of higher modulus fibers while also managing to keep weight low and durability higher. In this case Australian bike shop CCACHE reports that a size 56 frame weighs in at 996 grams while the fork is an extra 424 grams.
Obviously that’s not the lightest bike in the bunch but it is an aero bike. Adding to that are details like the shielded thru axle end as well as the more obvious narrow headtube. The Talon Fast integrated cockpit is also likely a big aero contributor. The saddle of choice is the Prologo Scratch M5 CPC.
For the mechanical (or electronic where it applies) pieces, this is a SRAM bike. The groupset is SRAM RED AXS and the wheels are the aero focused Zipp 454 NSW. Tires of choice are the Vittoria Corsa Pro. The consumer bike comes with a 48/35 chainring however Pidcock’s bike has a 54/41 power meter crank fitted.
With that, enjoy the pretty pictures.
