In the Team Sky Bradley Wiggins is the only with available new Pinarello Graal. The new bike was born from the project Dogma 60.1 inherits from this bike and the type of coal used, the manner in which the frame is made of the asymmetrical construction of the frame. All new fork, with straight tubes and with the positioning of the brake behind the fork, and not before. New series of separate steering and the new handlebar, made specifically for this model. All new vertical tube larger and more vertical, the new rear triangle, with the larger diameter tubes. All these changes, combined with the best type of carbon used, leading to greater rigidity. Improved rigidity of the bottom bracket and realized the internal cable. The middle movement runs on ceramic bearings like the wheels. In the picture we see a lenticular rear wheel and three-spoke front, branded Pro, with ceramic bearings. The group adopted is Shimano Dura Ace in the picture we see the traditional model, but the bike is also ready model Di2 and Campagnolo. The rear brake is Dura Ace, while the front is a TRP. The pedals are Dura Ace. Also in the picture we see how Bradley uses a crown oval associated with the SRM power meter, the Shimano Dura Ace always use ceramic bearings for rear derailleur. Note bottle cage Elite Time Trial and saddle Prologo Nago Evo TTR, more specific to time trial. The new bike weighs so assembled about 8:35 kg. Currently one of the best cycling time trial.
