"I've done a fair few rides on it already and it seems great. They seem to have got the weight down a little bit compared to the last version and addressed a few little issues we had with the older version 🦋as well," F🌊roome added.

"They've improv🌳ed the braking mechanism and it seems like they've found ways to make it stiffe𒈔r and lighter. It seems to be a better ride."
Team Sky mechanic Gary Blem confirmed that the new version of the bike would be used at the Tour and that Pinarello 🌞had worked hard over the last two years to reduce weight aཧnd improve rider control.
"It will be what Landa used but obviously the position is different. The bike is lighter than the old Bolide. That's all saved from the frame and it's in the region of 300 grams," he told Cyclingnews.
"The shape and design of the frame has𓆏 changed slightly. The top has a downward slope so in essence you're riding a smaller frame. That gives the rider more control and there's less material in the wind."
, Pinarello has not said exactly how muc🐷h the new frameset or complete bike weighs, but retailers selling the current Bolide claim that ༺a size 52.5 frame weighs 1,044g, and it's reasonable to estimate that the fork would be at least 350g.
