Pinarello KOBH 60.1 Frameset 2011

Product description

Pinarello is a brand steeped in tradition but at the same time unafraid of new challenges. Always the innovator, the last decade or so has seen these artisans from Treviso in Italy right at the very forefront of the development of the modern racing bicycle. One of the first to embrace lightweight alloy tubing, the wishbone seat stay, integrated over-size headsets and now already proving to be a master of carbon fibre manipulation, it is safe to say that Pinarello set the standard that many manufacturers can only aspire to...

The new KOBH 60.1 sits alongside the Dogma at the top of Pinarello's current line-up and incorporates everything they know about modern manufacturing techniques. Constructed using the same blend of Japanese carbon fibre masters Torayca's highest modulus carbon fibre, the KOBH 60.1 also calls on sophisticated moulding techniques based around Pinarello's wrinkle-free system where polystryene formers are used in favour of the more conventional inflated bladders to create the frames internal voids. Pinarello claim that this method improves wall thickness consistency and also allows them to control the precise lay up of each tube more effectvely.

Pin sharp handling is combined with a super stiff platform that responds to rider input immediately. Its robust front end tails off towards a slimmed down rear with parabolic seat stays for added comfort. The KOBH  was developed with Team Sky for use in the early season classics and is a frame worthy of considertion if you are looking for a top-end sportive bike or a race-machine with a slightly more compliant nature.
