Pinarello launches new clothing collection that uses carbon fibre in fabric

Pinarello has revealed its new clothing collection for spring and summer with a range that caters to riders of various different budgets and needs. Bringing the entire product range under one naming convention sees the new clothing range adopt the same names as the brand's premium Dogma road bikes.

Much like with the flagship road bike, the Dogma F clothing line represents the brand’s top-tier collection with Pinarello saying: “The Dogma F line has combined extensive research, unique technologies and innovative materials to create uncompromising, high-performance garments.”

In both the Dogma F and F9 garments, the fabric incorporates 9% Carbino, a derivative of carbon fibre. This is said to have anti-static properties as well as acting as a heat conductor to help keep riders comfortable whilst riding. Pinarello is confident that the carbon materials used "provide functionality and performance".
