As of Friday, Pinarello is the latest bike brand to throw a hat into the drop bar mountain bike ring. The Pinarello Grevil MX is the name the brand has given this latest\u2026 creation and it\u2019s essentially the Pinarello Dogma XC Hardtail.<\/p>\n

No, it\u2019s actually a copy of the Dogma XC Hardtail<\/h2>\n

Whatever you know, or don\u2019t because you like gravel bikes, about the Dogma XC, this new bike is the same. The geometry numbers between the two are identical.<\/p>\n

Likewise, the rest of the frame is unchanged in any way. The construction uses the same M40J Toray carbon fiber and just like the mountain bike the \u201cchainstays and seatstays have both been specifically shaped and reinforced to withstand the high torsional forces typical of aggressive\u201d mountain biking. No wait, it\u2019s actually meant to withstand \u201cgravel riding, steep off-road climbs and explosive accelerations.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can also find the same distinctive bottom bracket triangle as the mountain bike. That then flows into a rear triangle that retains the asymmetric design that adds structure to \u201ccounterbalance the higher loads generated on the drivetrain side.\u201d Expect the same threaded BB paired with fully integrated TiCR cable routing as well.<\/p>\n

Tire clearance is different\u2026 except it\u2019s not<\/h2>\n

Pinarello claims that the \u201cGrevil MX is optimised for 50mm gravel tires\u201d and that it achieves \u201can optimal blend of traction and fatigue reduction.\u201d Except that upfront the suspension is nearly identical. The Grevil MX uses the FOX 32 Float Step Cast Factory Kashima while the Dogma XC uses the Fox 32 Performance Elite SC. The two are the same other than the gold \u201cKashima\u201d coating. Fox reports that \u201cFOX 32MM forks will accept tire sizes up to 2.40 inches wide.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the rear of the bike, it\u2019s similar. There is no difference to the frame construction and PinkBike reports that \u201cmaximum tire clearance is 29 x 2.35 inches.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whatever reason Pinarello has for claiming the bike is optimized for 50mm tires, and speccing Schwalbe G-One R Pro in 50mm front and rear, it\u2019s not about clearance. It\u2019s also an oddity given that there are a number of gravel bikes that fit 50mm and Pinarello President Fausto Pinarello said: \u201cThe GREVIL MX is designed for riders who push gravel beyond its typical boundaries.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is different about the Pinarello Grevil MX?<\/h2>\n

The first difference is the drop bar cockpit. The chosen option is the MOST Talon Ultra Light that you can find on Pinarello road bikes. It means there\u2019s no need for new carbon molds but it may also introduce some issues.<\/p>\n

Typically you\u2019d need an extreme negative stem that\u2019s oddly short to make a mountain bike work with a drop bar. The shortest stem that Pinarello offers on that bar is 90mm at -8\u00b0. That is going to leave quite a long reach on a rather upright bike. If you are serious about this bike, I recommend checking the fit.<\/p>\n

The other change is gearing. Both the flat bar bike and the drop bar bike are running a full SRAM Transmission setup. While the flat bar gets the GX level, the Grevil MX is running a SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS rear derailleur, cassette, and chain. The cassette on both offers the same range but upfront the Grevil MX has a 38T aero chainring instead of the 32T you\u2019ll find on the mountain bike.<\/p>\n

The Grevil MX is also running nicer wheels. While the mountain bike sticks to aluminum, the drop bar gets the DT Swiss XRC 1200 carbon fiber wheel. Obviously the tires are different as well with the already mentioned 50mm on the drop bar.<\/p>\n

In case you later change your mind, you can still swap the flat bar setup on. Nothing changes between the frames. You can also add a dropper post for even more mountain bike features.<\/p>\n
