| Build notes | Pinarello does not publish prices. €9,000 is the regular, non-sale retailer price at both Cicli Drigani and Bike-Room. 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. | Pinarello lists two paint options for the Dura-Ace Di2 bike (GAMES 2024 and Carbon Supernova), both with a flat basebar. Its parts list shows Dura-Ace R9100 11-speed part numbers, which conflict with current 12-speed Dura-Ace, so speeds are not listed here. Pinarello does not publish prices. | UK launch price reported by road.cc in October 2018. The full component list was not published. | — |

| Manufacturer aero claims | — | 2.28% lower CdA than the previous Bolide F TT | — | Disc brakes cost 1.4% in drag; Pinarello says the new tube shapes bring total bike-and-rider drag to within 0.04% of the rim-brake Bolide TT. The new basebar and extensions are claimed to improve drag by 0.1% and 2-3% respectively. |
| Testing method | — | More than 2,000 CFD simulations using NablaFlow's AeroCloud; AeroNode pattern developed with the University of Adelaide | — | Weighted average over seven yaw angles and eight rider positions (Pinarello) |
| Tube profile | — | AeroNodes (inspired by humpback whale flipper tubercles) on the seat tube and seatpost. Longer, slimmer airfoil sections at the bottom bracket and hubs, using 6:1 to 8:1 aspect ratios now that the UCI has dropped its 3:1 rule. Flatback profiles. | — | — |
