The latest generation of the Pinarello Grevil F5 Rival AXS XPLR is a comprehensive evolution of the brand’s gravel racing platform—faster, lighter, and more capable across extreme distances and varied terrain. At its core, the Grevil F5 is designed to offer the perfect balance of performance and endurance, making it an ideal machine for gravel racers, long-distance explorers, and performance-focused riders who demand a responsive and adaptable bike. Pinarello has infused this model with race-winning DNA, elevating the Grevil F line into a serious contender in ultra-endurance and adventure racing alike.

Built around a refined Torayca T700 UD carbon layup, the Grevil F5 offers the ideal blend of stiffness and compliance. This carbon construction retains the lively reactivity needed for spirited efforts while incorporating a higher degree of vibration damping to improve rider comfort over long days in the saddle. Whether powering over washboard dirt, sharp rock gardens, or rough pavement, the frame helps dull the fatigue-inducing feedback that other race bikes often transmit. The result is more comfort and, just as importantly, more enjoyment—an essential quality when you're racing or riding for hours on end.

One of the major structural enhancements is the newly redesigned down tube, shaped for improved stiffness and integration. It supports larger bottles—up to 750 ml—and works seamlessly with the optional Pinarello frame bag, offering ample storage for nutrition and tools. The new integrated down tube port accommodates a compact internal tool bag, ensuring essential gear remains accessible and protected inside the frame. This modular approach to accessory integration reflects the Grevil F5's mission: go long, go fast, and carry what you need without compromise.

To further optimize performance and aerodynamics, the Grevil F5 features Pinarello’s TiCR (Total Internal Cable Routing) system. All cables and hoses are routed internally from the handlebar through the frame, eliminating drag-inducing clutter around the cockpit. This not only delivers measurable aerodynamic gains but also opens up the front end for clean, stable bag mounting—a crucial feature for bikepacking setups or ultra-distance events where every watt and every inch of space count.

Geometry-wise, Pinarello introduces its updated Race Geometry+ platform with the Grevil F5. Designed explicitly for events that exceed five hours in duration, the new geometry extends the top tube by one centimeter and pairs it with a shorter stem. This setup enhances off-road control, particularly in fast descents or technical terrain, without compromising the rider's reach or comfort. It's a thoughtful rebalancing of road efficiency and trail confidence—one that helps the rider stay in control when conditions deteriorate or when fatigue sets in.

A key component of the Grevil F5’s comfort system is its new adaptive seatpost. Engineered to provide up to 10 mm of longitudinal flex, the post works in concert with Pinarello’s innovative Twin Arms seat stay design to absorb vibrations and trail chatter. This lower junction of the seat stays on the seat tube also offers a strategic advantage: it reduces the accumulation of mud and debris, which can be a constant nuisance in wet or technical gravel events. The result is a cleaner ride, better component longevity, and less time spent cleaning after the race is done.

Tire clearance has also been expanded, with the Grevil F5 able to accommodate up to 50mm tires. This offers incredible versatility for riders who traverse mixed terrain, from fast hardpack and loose gravel to mud and sand. It ships with 45mm Vittoria Terreno T30s, a reliable all-rounder that’s race-ready out of the box. Paired with the deep-section MOST Gravel Carbon 45 wheels, this setup balances rolling speed with durability and traction across unpredictable surfaces.

The bike is built around SRAM's wireless Rival AXS XPLR 13-speed groupset, offering precision shifting, clean integration, and a wide range of gearing that suits gravel racing's unique demands. The 1x13 drivetrain simplifies shifting, reduces weight, and ensures quiet, reliable operation even in the harshest conditions. It’s an ideal pairing for the Grevil F5’s go-anywhere, win-everything mentality.

Touchpoints and cockpit elements are equally well-considered. The MOST Jaguar XA GR TiCR handlebars deliver ergonomic comfort and leverage, with wide flare for control during descents and sprints alike. The MOST Lynx saddle is tuned for long rides, offering support without bulk, while the integrated TiCR cockpit supports full cable invisibility for a clean aesthetic and improved aerodynamics.

The Grevil F5 doesn’t just encourage racing—it redefines it. For gravel riders who seek the freedom of adventure but don’t want to sacrifice competitive edge, it presents one of the most well-rounded, high-performance platforms on the market. Every detail, from its aerodynamic down tube and adaptive comfort systems to its long-distance geometry and electronic drivetrain, has been fine-tuned for endurance events where seconds matter and comfort becomes a competitive advantage. Light, reactive, and versatile, the Pinarello Grevil F5 Rival AXS XPLR is built to conquer the unexpected and carry you through the longest, most demanding rides with power and confidence.
