Pinarello has long been one of the most exclusive bikes on tarmac. But, over the years, they have also offered gravel bikes. However, they haven’t garnered quite the following as their road bikes. It’s been a few years since I’ve ridden a Pinarello, but the F8 and F10 of yesteryear remain some of the most memorable bikes I’ve swung a leg over. With that nostalgia, I’m eyeing the new Grevil F series and specifically the $5000 Grevil F5, heading into 2026.
Yes, there are other Grevil F builds, but I’m honing in on the Goldilocks F5 offering because it comes with everything you could ever want in a Pinarello gravel bike, but without the exclusive price tag. The F9 and F7 builds are incrementally more expensive and are made with T900 UD carbon. The F5 is built with the new SRAM Rival XPLR, MOST Ultrafast 45 GR carbon wheels, and uses T700 UD carbon layup to hit the sweet spot between responsiveness and comfort. Amplifying that comfort is a generous 50mm tire clearance that will hang with the most adventurous gravel bikes on the market.
2026 Pinarello Grevil F Features (all models):
- Flatback downtube: Optimized shape with improved stiffness and built to carry a large water bottle while outfitted with the frame bag.
- Downtube port: Storage for essentials inside the frame.
- TiCR integrated cable routing: Look, no cables! Fully-internal routing for aerodynamics and a clean look while still allowing stack height adjustments.
- Race geometry+: The Grevil F is optimized for long-distance races lasting 5+ hours, with a 1cm longer top tube, matched with shorter stems for improved handling.
- Versatile tire clearance: Roll high-volume road tires or up to 50mm wide gravel knobbies.
- Adaptive seatpost: Offers 10mm longitudinal flex to tame rough terrain.
- ONDA fork: Offered in two size-dependent rakes (50mm and 55mm), this new fork is lighter and offers improved dampening. It’s also suspension fork compatible.
- Twin-armed seatstays: A departure from Pinarello’s usual asymmetrical designs, this solution works with the seatpost to deliver comfort and traction.
If you’re looking for something a little more unique for your next all-day gravel bike, the 2026 Grevil F5 is worth a solid look. And, hopefully we’ll get to swing a leg over one in the coming months. The US market will only see the F9 ($11,000), F7 ($7000/$7250) and F5 ($5000) models.
Also, Pinarello launched the all-new Dogma GR today. This race-specific bike is built primarily for short and fast gravel races (less than 5 hours). It features clearance for 45mm tires in front and 42mm in the rear and will come in only one build here in the United States — SRAM RED XPLR — and sits at a Dogma-level price of $14,500 (gulp).
