Pro Bike: Rigoberto Uran’s Pinarello Dogma 65.1

Caley Fretz gets a peek at Rigoberto Uran's Pinarello, which in the absence of Bradley Wiggins gets the star treatment

Rigoberto
Rigoberto Uran is now the leader of Team Sky, following the departure of Bradley Wiggins, and that means his bike gets the special treatment Wiggins’ did earlier in the race. The most obvious difference is a set of special super-light wheels, described by Sky staff only as “custom.” The rims look similar but not quite identical to AX-Lightness ST24s, which weigh only 215 grams, and were perhaps a special item from that company for the team. The rest of Uran’s bike is regular Sky issue: Dura-Ace Di2 9070 drivetrain, PRO components, a Fizik saddle and of course the Pinarello Dogma 65.1 frame. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com

Think2 is Pinarello’s term for multi-drivetrain compatibility, meaning that the Dogma 65.1 Think2 frame ridden by Uran could be run with a mechanical system instead of his electronic one. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com

Uran ran a standard 53/39 crankset for Sunday’s stage, with an unlabeled SRM power meter. The new SRMs are compatible with 11-speed Dura-Ace chainrings but still use old 7800-series crank arms. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com
