Description
The mileage and versatility oriented Prince Disk is a great option for the everyday mileage rider who appreciates great power transfer, stability, and balance. Built here with the 11-speed Ultegra mechanical shift/hydraulic disc brake R8000-series components, you get a very capable bike with a high quality Pinarello frameset. The T700 carbon fiber is moderately lightweight, with an evolved strength rating for performance, but also offers a forgiving ride. Pinarello has also introduced updated, vibrant colorways with the Prince series, which quickly serves to differentiate from other models.
There are also few notable Dogma technologies in the Prince Disk. First, you will notice the more aero Fork Flap design on the Onda Prince Disk 1⅛-1½", tapered fork, which has proven to clean up the airflow around the dropouts. The Prince the Think2 cable management system with the E-Link™ port in the downtube for integrated battery charging for those who upgrade to Di2 in the future. There are also influences direct from the Dogma-series that aren't visual, but are found in the details of the full frameset's asymmetrically engineered carbon lay-up. These enhancements truly set the Prince above the Paris and GAN series bikes.
Besides the updated Think2 System with E-Link, the Prince also has other new features, such as the 3XAir™ option for seattube bottle cage mounting with two positions available for better aerodynamics. The tubeset and seatpost shapes themselves are the more aero FlatBack design, and the downtube works to shroud bottle cage placements from passing airflow. The shapes also contribute to the overall torsional rigidity of the design, using the asymmetric engineering principles to offset the power transfer requirements of the right side drivetrain. This concept, carried through from the front fork dropouts, back through the frameset to the rear wheel dropouts, ensures that drivetrain efficiency is maximized directly through the rear hub. There is very little loss of energy from lateral flex, which also improves the overall ride quality in terms of handling, steering precision, and stability. The Prince Disk becomes a worthy junior royal to the Dogma F-series.... Read More
