The new Pinarello X5 road bike marks a real update to the X Series platform, not just an entry point into it. X Stays 2. 0 and a redesigned elliptical steering tube route cables cleanly through the frame, and a new adaptive seatpost flexes at the saddle to take the edge off road buzz on longer rides. Its own T700 UD carbon layup favors compliance over stiffness, a distinct calibration from the T900 used on the X7 and X9. Shimano 105 Di2 handles shifting throughout. What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"A cracked stretch of pavement on my regular loop used to rattle my hands loose from the bar, and the X5 absorbs it without breaking stride. When the group ride picks up pace near the finish, the 105 Di2 shifts keep up without hesitation, so I never feel like I traded speed for comfort."Heads up! We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning, and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive.
