Pinarello KOBH 60.1


Pinarello KOBH 60.1 which should be arriving in shops in July, 2010.The KOBH 60.1 has been developed in parallel to the Dogma. The 60.1 moniker means that it shares the same type of carbon fiber from Torayca. The new geometry, which Pinarello have dubbed "CenturyRide", will provide more shock absorption. The KOBH has the same lateral stiffness as the Dogma. It’s got relaxed seat and head tube angles, as well as a longer head tube. The fork rake is longer too. The frame also has better wheel clearance, which means that it can accept 28mm tires.Visually, the bike differs from the Dogma most significantly by its seatstays. The Dogma has got a double s-bend Onda seatstays, whereas the KOBH has got flatter and radial curved stays. Pinarello calls them AFS, or asymmetrical frame system, meaning that they are asymmetric in order to maximize the KOBH’s resistance to flex under rider power.The KOBH is 23% more impact-resistant than any other frame they make. Claimed weight of the frame is 1,100g. The frameset comes with a fork (360g), headset (80g), and seatpost (195g) for a total of 1,735g."
