The Pinarello Dogma Carbon Road Frameset welcomes you to the world of asymmetrical design. Traditionally built frames inherently flex more on one side than the other due to torque you apply during the pedal stroke. Pinarello designed the Dogma after carefully calculating variances in how much the frame distorts on the left side vs. right (as well as in other key areas); then Pinarello built each section (or counter section) of the frame to compensate for these variances. The DogmaAAAs design is completely unique thanks to those subtle differences in frame composition; for example, the right side of the top tube is rounded, while the left half is squared off. The chain stays, seat stays, and fork blades also have similar subtle dimension differences. The Dogma also features 60HM1K-grade carbon built to withstand 60 tons per square centimeter, thus reducing your chances of downgrading the frame to wind chimes after touching wheels on the final corner of a crit race.
