PinarelloBolide F TT
The Bolide F TT is Pinarello's carbon time-trial bike for UCI racing. The 2024 update brought over ideas from the 3D-printed Bolide F HR hour-record bike, including AeroNodes on the seat tube and seatpost and longer, slimmer airfoil sections at the bottom bracket, and Pinarello claims a 2.28% CdA reduction over the previous Bolide F TT. Tire clearance went up from 28 mm to 32 mm.

Our verdict
No overall score: there's no complete-bike price to rate
For UCI time triallists who want the bike Ineos races, with top-grade carbon, a lifetime warranty and a threaded bottom bracket. Expect a low, aggressive front end in only four sizes, an integrated cockpit with no published adjustment range, and no published prices, so the deal runs through a retailer.

Aerodynamics
AeroNodes are a pattern of bumps on the seat tube and seatpost, inspired by the tubercles on humpback whale flippers. They are meant to calm the vortices shed by the rider's moving legs. Pinarello claims a 2.28% CdA reduction over the previous Bolide F TT.
SourceAerodynamics
The update relied on more than 2,000 CFD simulations and was tuned across a range of yaw angles, using NablaFlow's AeroCloud software.
SourceFit
Pinarello's size names are seat tube centre-to-centre lengths in mm. Stack ranges from 461 mm (450) to 507 mm (550) and reach from 380 to 430 mm.
SourceCompatibility
A reinforced chainstay and bottom bracket area raised tire clearance from 28 mm on the previous model to 32 mm.
SourceMaintenance
The frame uses an Italian threaded bottom bracket. Warranty claims go through the authorised retailer the bike was bought from.
SourceRacing
INEOS Grenadiers riders, including Filippo Ganna, Tobias Foss, Josh Tarling, Magnus Sheffield and Michał Kwiatkowski, debuted it at the Paris 2024 Olympic time trial. Pinarello says the four production sizes are UCI approved.
SourceHistory
Pinarello frames the 2024 Bolide F TT as a move 'from HR to TT': it carries ideas from the 3D-printed Bolide F HR hour-record bike into the carbon UCI time-trial frame.
SourceVersions
Pinarello also sells the Bolide F TR, a triathlon frameset with the same seat tube sizes but taller head tubes (90 to 134 mm vs 70 to 110 mm), a steeper 78° seat angle and more stack.
