2012 Pinarello FP-Due SRAM Rival Bike Review

Updated for 2012, the 2012 Pinarello FP Due SRAM is developed by Pinarello as the latest FP Due SRAM Rival bike. While the geometry is still unchanged, the bike gets a new asymmetric design that can be seen mostly in the fork and seat stays of the bike. It's ONDA design offers superior lateral inflexibility, responsiveness, and comfort. Through it's new asymmetry, the offset power delivery of the Pinarello FP Due SRAM Rival is balanced as its drive train is offset to the right. 

This is the perfect engine for twisty roads that require speed. For better aesthetics, the frame is color coordinated with the bar, brakes, saddle, seatpost, and stem. While it is mainly designed for climbing and sprinting, the 2012 Pinarello FP Due SRAM Rival Bike offers perfect balance with wheels that remain planted. Tapering from 1-1/8? to 1-1/2?, the fork’s steerer allows for a stiffer front end to ensure that the handling is precise.

Giordana Pinarello Trade White Jersey

Giordana Trade garments feature original kit designs that celebrate Giordana and our partner brands. We continually work with cyclists at all levels, including many professional athletes, to create, modify and perfect our line. Prototypes are put to the ultimate real-world tests, and as a result, Giordana collections benefit from the input of the toughest critics in the sport.

The front, shoulders, sleeves, collars and pockets are made of ultra-light Asteria fabric. Incredibly soft, Asteria is 14 percent spandex and utilizes a honeycomb knit, allowing omnidirectional stretch for optimal fit. Asteria properties of superior wicking and elasticity are woven into the fabric and will not lesson over time.

On the side and back panels Host Carbon™ limits the vertical stretch, stabilizing the pockets to prevent sag when they’re loaded. A micromesh insert under the arms allows maximum breathability. At the cuffs, Ametista is backed with Antigua™ to form the Aerofix Gripper System, which holds the jersey perfectly in place with a seamless feel. Ametista’s carbon weave controls stretch of fabric, reinforces strength and repels electronic interferences. source article and photo by : http://www.glorycycles.com/gipitrwhje.html
