PinarelloBolide F TR
The Bolide F TR is the triathlon version of Pinarello's Bolide F, aimed at non-drafting racing and sold only as a framekit. It shares the time-trial bike's four seat-tube sizes but sits the rider further forward and higher, with a 78° seat angle, taller head tubes and more stack. Food storage is built into the frame, and the kit comes with a custom MOST integrated aerobar and Pinarello's aero seatpost.

Our verdict
No overall score: there's no complete-bike price to rate
A framekit for non-drafting triathletes who want Pinarello's top-grade carbon with a steeper, taller position than the TT version and food storage built into the frame. There is no integrated hydration, the integrated cockpit's adjustment range isn't published, and its UCI status is unconfirmed, so don't count on it for time trials.

US and UK retailer prices were left out because they differ between shops ($7,600 at RA Cycles, $7,000 at Green Lizard Cycling) or come from a single shop (£8,000 at Bicycle Richmond). The kit includes the frame, fork, integrated MOST bar with extensions and pads, bar tape, aero seatpost and seat clamp. |

Good to know
Fit
Cicli Drigani's size guide gives rider heights of 160-168 cm (450), 168-175 cm (485), 175-182 cm (520) and 183-192 cm (550).
SourceCompatibility
Cicli Drigani's spec sheet calls the frame 'UCI approved', but Pinarello's own page says nothing about UCI status, and the UCI's list of approved framesets (August 2026) has entries for the Bolide F and Bolide F TT but none for the TR. Its UCI status is therefore shown as not stated.
SourceHistory
Pinarello's page says the Bolide TR made its debut under Cameron Wurf at the Ironman World Championship in Kona, where he set a new bike course record.
SourceVersions
Compared with the Bolide F TT, the TR keeps the same seat-tube sizes but has a 78° seat angle (77° on the TT), head tubes of 90-134 mm instead of 70-110 mm, 492-543 mm of stack instead of 461-507 mm, slightly shorter reach (369-424 mm) and a lower bottom bracket (65-70 mm drop vs 57-62 mm).
