DOGMA K8-S
A race frameset.
Summary
The Pinarello Dogma is celebrated for its refined ride quality, exceptional speed, and stiffness, making it a top choice for racing. Its aerodynamic design and innovative features like the truncated-airfoil design enhance performance, while the bike's handling and power transfer are consistently praised. However, its firm ride quality and high price point are noted drawbacks.

The Velvet Hammer.Bicycling
Derived from the aerodynamic F8, the K8-S looks remarkably similar to its more classical sibling, with the rear shock being the obvious departure.
Canadian Cycling MagazineYou’re unlikely to find a ride equal to this.
Cycling WeeklyThe Dogma F8 is a fast bike. A very fast bike.
CyclistIt's the sort of bike you really need to take control of – it's not one for cruising along admiring the countryside.

Pinarello has brought back rear suspension to race bikes with the Dogma K8-S, and this time it might just work.

Pinarello launched the radical Pinarello Dogma K8-S, with its rear suspension, at the cobble Spring Classics in April. But the bike, a 2016 model, has only arrived in Canada recently. Canadian Cycling Magazine received one of the first bikes to land for testing.

The seat tube, down-tube and top tube are all asymmetric in section and position to balance out pedalling forces and increase frame stiffness, and the similarly asymmetric rear triangle improves lateral stiffness.
