The aero work concentrates where the frame meets the air. The new Aero-Keel bottom bracket has been rotated by 3.5 degrees to create a keel shape that improves aerodynamic performance of the bottom bracket area by 1.2%, and the new shape also opens up tire clearance so the frame comfortably clears 700c x 30mm tires. Up front, Pinarello designed an elliptical fork steerer and a headset with a narrower upper bearing, reducing it from 1-1/2" to 1-1/4". The thru axles are shorter, with nuts integrated into the carbon for smooth outer surfaces on the fork, and the rear derailleur hanger is integrated the same way.

Shifting comes from SRAM's wireless electronic flagship. The build runs a SRAM Red AXS powermeter crankset in 48-35 with front and rear Red AXS derailleurs, so training data is built into the drivetrain from the start rather than added later. SRAM Red 2-piston hydraulic disc calipers with 160mm rotors handle braking front and rear. Because this is a fully electronic, hydraulic-disc platform with internal routing, there is no mechanical or rim-brake configuration for this build — worth knowing before you order.

The wheels are Zipp 454 NSW with the team's gold decals, wrapped in Vittoria Corsa Pro TLR 30mm tires. The 454 NSW's sawtooth rim profile is built to manage crosswinds, which pairs logically with a frame designed to hold a line when the wind picks up. The cockpit carries the same integration philosophy to the contact points: the MOST Talon Ultra Fast one-piece unit routes everything internally, the saddle is the MOST Linx Ultrafast Superflow, and the Pinarello aero seatpost uses a 3D-printed titanium clamp with titanium hardware. Because the one-piece cockpit is a fixed integration, fit adjustments happen through handlebar and stem sizing at build time rather than after purchase — confirm your sizing with the team at Excel before ordering. This is a full team-replica build for a rider who wants the exact platform the pros race, down to the wheels and drivetrain.
