Pinarello Prince White Ultegra Di2 53cm

PINARELLO PRINCE TICR 53CM ULTEGRA DI2 DISC ROAD BIKE (picture for display purposes only).

Now even more incredible value for money, the Pinarello Prince TICR takes heritage from the most successful race bike in the world – the Dogma F12.

The T700 Carbon asymmetric frame incorporates the TiCR concept, which means that all cables run internally for a clean look and improved aerodynamics whilst the frame’s tubes have also been designed to cut easily through the air. The downtube has a distinctive concave design that hides the water bottles from the wind and the fork has the aero ForkFlap addition to improve airflow. Handling-wise, the T700 carbon is stiff and efficient around the drivetrain for better performance but compliant enough that the rider is comfortable and the responsiveness has been increased via a chainstay redesign. The geometry is slightly more relaxed than the racy Dogma, making the Prince ideal for long days in the saddle or for less flexible riders.

The carbon finishing kit is from Pinarello’s in-house MOST brand, so pairs perfectly with the Prince’s frame, giving a harmonious and integrated look to the bike as well as functioning effectively.

Similar to the frame, the Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset offers nearly all the performance of the range-topping option, but at a more palatable price. The 12-speed shifting is electronic, so shifts are instant, accurate and effortless with the wide range of gears available allowing long or steep climbs to be ridden with ease. Bluetooth compatibility provides the connection to compatible GPS head units and smartphones for access to more data and some extra shifting options. Servo Wave hydraulic brake technology, taken from Shimano’s MTB range, provides more power, easier modulation and increased pad clearance.

Fulcrum Racing’s 500 wheelset is a solid all-round performer that will shrug off wind, rain and a few badly surfaced roads. The shallow depth keeps the weight down and gives them a nimble, responsive feel.

Please note, the wheels and components are as per the specification list, not necessarily as pictured.
