Pinarello Prince Disk TiCR Ultegra Di2 12s Most Bicycle

With much to thank its bigger brother, the renowned Dogma F12, for, the Prince TiCR Ultegra Di2 Disc Road Bike is a great way to benefit from Pinarellos experience and heritage. The T700 Carbon asymmetric frame incorporates the TiCR concept, which means that all cables run internally for a clean look and improved aerodynamics whilst the frames tubes have also been designed to cut easily through the air. The downtube has a distinctive concave design that hides the water bottles from the wind and the fork has the aero ForkFlap addition to improve airflow. Handling-wise, the T700 carbon is stiff and efficient around the drivetrain for better performance but compliant enough that the rider is comfortable and the responsiveness has been increased via a chainstay redesign. The geometry is slightly more relaxed than the racy Dogma, making the Prince ideal for long days in the saddle or for less flexible riders. The carbon finishing kit is from Pinarellos in-house MOST brand, so pairs perfectly with the Princes frame, giving a harmonious and integrated look to the bike as well as functioning effectively. Similar to the frame, the Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset offers nearly all the performance of the range-topping option, but at a more palatable price. The 12-speed shifting is electronic, so shifts are instant, accurate and effortless with the wide range of gears available allowing long or steep climbs to be ridden with ease. Bluetooth compatibility provides the connection to compatible GPS head units and smartphones for access to more data and some extra shifting options. Servo Wave hydraulic brake technology, taken from Shimanos MTB range, provides more power, easier modulation and increased pad clearance. Fulcrum Racings 500 wheelset is a solid all-round performer that will shrug off wind, rain and a few badly surfaced roads. The shallow depth keeps the weight down and gives them a nimble, responsive feel. Please note, the wheels and components are as per the specification list, not necessarily as pictured.
