Pinarello believed that if they were going to build a mountain bike, it had to be an all-in affair. The Pinarello Dogma XC 9.9 is no gentle toe in the water, no copycat ride, it\'s as much of a design departure from the crowd, as much as a Pinarello, as their Dogma road frames are. And this is a great thing for the mountain bike world.
 
Yes, they applied their SOE, Simulation Optimization Evolution, thinking. Yes, they fully employed asymmetric tube shaping. Yes they transferred all their carbon-fiber know-how. Not surprising their analysis revealed that forces on a cross-country hard tail *9er are different than the forces on a road bike. And the shapes reveal how different.
 
The main triangle may look fairly traditional. But that image is deceptive. Pinarello actually runs the down tube lower relative to the head tube than most off-road bikes. The reason is performance. The better alignment of the tube means it better resists torsional forces. This they call Pinafit. Many companies like the down tube higher to avoid having a suspension fork crown smashing the down tube. Pinarello gets around this with their Forkstopper. These are basically integrated bumpers that the crown can hit rather than the frame.
