The new model Pinarello FPQUATTRO Carbon is the entry model to the asymmetric frames Pinarello. The new structure exploits the asymmetric structure for the fork, which comes from Paris 50.1,5 new model, for the horizontal tube and the rearstay. The frame is made of carbon monocoque 30HM12K, already used on the model Pinarello FP3. The Onda fork, full carbon, apart from the asymmetric joins the new head tube with tapered bearings and 1 inch 1/8 and 1 inch and 1/2. Oversize bottom bracket and the rest of the main tubes of the frame, and have a section similar profile to those used on Dogma and the new Paris. The rearstay always uses the asymmetric structure and the characteristic Onda tubes. The frame has a declared weight of 1100 grams in size 54. Ten sizes available six colors. The bike is only available assembled. Shimano Ultegra group version is used in full, stem. handlebar and seatpost Most are signed, as the wheels, while the tires are Continental. The bike has assembled such a price of around Euro 2790. A good bike, good quality, but without excel. In this price range, or slightly above, other competitors use carbon even more refined, while the weight of the bike is certainly not less than competitors that do not seem penalized absence of asymmetric structure of the frame. Enjoy the full adoption of the Shimano Ultegra. A bike that has a slightly higher price to rivals because of the name and the completion of the frame. The overall quality is more than excellent. The price is justified by some technical and some finishing touches, such as paint, which are excellent. The performance did not differ from other competitors, sometimes less expensive. A quality bike that will appeal to fans of the brand and those looking for a product of a certain quality level, shifting the emphasis from the price/performance ratio and also the price/weight.
