Pinarello Bolide Tr Frameset

The Pinarello Bolide TR is Pinarellos more affordable triathlon specific bike. The design was inspired by their Bolide TT time trial bike. The goal was to make accommodate the needs of triathlete with a similar design without losing any speed. Without UCI regulations in play, Pinarello was able to push limits. High performance with ease of assembly and disassembly will let you focus on your race without wasting any energy on putting your bike together.

Pinarello altered the geometry of their ultra-fast TT bike to better suit the needs of triathletes. The headtube length was increased by 35mm compared to the TT. This gives you a more comfortable ride, preserving valuable. It also improves stability and rigidity. The bottom bracket on the Bolide TR was moved down 8mm for a lower center of gravity, giving its rider even more stability and pedaling power. Moving the seat tube angle forward by 78 degrees further improves the pedaling efficiency.

A lack of UCI to worry about opened the door for Pinarello to push aerodynamic limits. Spending hours on end testing this bike in the CFD simulator helped engineers come up with optimal frame shape. Average wind speed and dynamics from previous Kona races were used in these simulations for real-life application. Eventually, they settled on a concave downtube and a sloping top tube. A longer fork creates better air flow around the frame while simultaneously improving your handling ability. Topped off with internal cable management, this bike cuts through the wind with excellent speed.
