Steering that develops play or grinds through its rotation usually traces back to worn or contaminated headset bearings, and on an integrated cockpit setup the wrong replacement simply will not seat correctly. The eTICR AM Headset Bearing Kit from Pinarello is the factory replacement pair matched to the internal routing cockpit on the 2025 Dogma F. Because the eTICR system runs cables and hoses through the headset area, the bearing dimensions and seat geometry are held to tight frame-specific tolerances, and a generic bearing that measures close but not exact will fight you the whole way through the build.

This kit uses a tapered configuration, with a 1-1/2" upper bearing and a 1-1/4" lower bearing. That taper is what lets the internal lines pass through the head tube while keeping the steering assembly play-free once torqued down. Fitting the correct pair restores the low-friction, quiet rotation the frame had when it left the factory, which is exactly what you want before chasing a steering issue anywhere else on the bike.

If you are servicing a 2025 Dogma F specifically, this is the part to order. Pinarello updated the eTICR cockpit for model-year 2025, so bearings from earlier Dogma platforms or other eTICR configurations are not a safe substitute. Confirm you are working on an MY25 frameset before installing, and the team at Excel can help match this kit to your build if you are unsure which cockpit version you are running.... Read More
