I love that Pinnerello bikes look like if you asked someone to draw a straight line after 3 Red Bulls and a hit off a meth pipe.

I’ve got a Grevil F with Rival AXS XPLR and the base Fulcrum 500 wheels. Fantastic bike.

Pro’s: It is comfortable but stiff, especially in the bottom bracket. Great acceleration and responsive but predictable handling, which makes riding it confidence inspiring and a lot of fun. Has clearance for fairly wide tires – running 47 mm now and considering bumping up to 2.1″, which should be about the limit for the frame. There is room for 2x and big tires, if that is your thing, and it is a decent candidate for a second wheelset with road tires.I’ve done some longer rides and not had any issues. The position is fairly aggressive, or so I’m told, but not as aggressive as on a road race bike like the Dogma F or an Aeroad.

Cons: Not the lightest (this is likely the result of the drive for stiffness and comfort). It is not UDH compatible, which means limited scope for future upgrades based on where the industry seems to be heading. The seatpost clamp and broader rear triangle can be noisy over rougher terrain. Limited mounting points, but it is a race bike.

The design is controversial, but I quite like it – especially in all black or in the champagne/black combo. You probably won’t see many of these, if that is something you like.
