Pinarello will debut in the Giro d’Italia cycling time trial bike: the new Graal. The new bike will be available only for the two captains of teams Sky Pro Cycling and Caisse D'Erpagne: Bradley Wiggins and Marzio Bruseghin. The new time trial bike frame inherits the asymmetric structure, already used on Dogma 60.1 and Kobh 60.1 and this has reduced the weight of the frame, even in the face of increased rigidity and stability. The new frame also introduces a different positioning of the front brake, now the new place after the fork stem, made specifically for this model, the internal cable for Campagnolo, and battery integrated in the sheath of the lower rear for Shimano Di2. The frame tubes are of different stratification according to the different areas and is building carbon monocoque Torayca 60HM finish 1K Nanoalloy and anti-breaking technology. This solution, according to Pinarello, it means the frame repair itself preventing any cracks and break even in the face of particularly violent impacts. The new bike will be available in 6 different sizes.
