Integrated cockpit systems eliminate the stem-to-bar junction entirely, removing a mechanical interface that adds weight and creates aerodynamic drag. The Talon Ultra Light from Most takes this concept further by incorporating Pinarello's Totally Integrated Cable Routing system, channeling shift and brake housing through the bar itself rather than exposing it to the wind. The result is a cockpit that works as a single aerodynamic unit with Dogma F, F12, and Prince FX TiCR framesets.

Pinarello's engineers revised the carbon lamination schedule for the Talon Ultra Light, achieving a 13% weight reduction compared to the previous Talon Ultra while maintaining torsional stiffness through the stem section. The T1100 1K carbon weave handles the structural demands, and the raw carbon finish eliminates paint weight. That exposed weave look isn't just aesthetics—it's functional weight savings.

The geometry puts you in a moderately aggressive position without committing to a full race tuck. An 80mm reach keeps the drops accessible, while the 125mm drop provides enough differential between hood and drop positions for varied terrain. A 4° outward flare at the drops opens up your wrist angle during sprints and out-of-saddle climbing, giving you more leverage without forcing an unnatural hand position. The -8° stem angle works with Pinarello's frame geometry to dial in the front-end height.... Read More
