BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

Bottom line
Pinarello road bikes have traditionally been unapologetically race-oriented, with performance-focused frame geometry and stiffness. The Pinarello X Series sacrifices some top-end speed, with geometry aimed at the average rider, increased frame compliance, and wide tires rounding out a comfort-optimized package. Indeed, testers enjoy the agreeable riding position and smooth ride, the latter due mostly to the 35mm rubber. The stable, composed handling also impresses. Pinarello’s disappointingly vague spec sheet and the unusual choice of T20 Torx bolts are the only real complaints. From admittedly limited testing, the Pinarello X Series puts itself forward as a solid (but pricey) performance-endurance option.Expert Reviews
