Description

GRAAL is a gem of a time-trial bike by Pinarello.

Pinarello has a long legacy of building prestigious and innovative time trial bikes that have seen the
top step of the podium in the most important races in cycling time and time again.

GRAAL continues this legacy as the technological gem that dominated the 2012 Tour de France.

Using CFD analysis, Pinarello engineers were able to work on each and every individual part of the
frame, maximizing its efficiency using top end software as opposed to only physical trial and error in
the wind tunnel.

GRAAL is available in two versions: one frame specifically designed for the electronic Shimano Di2
groupset with internal cable routing and battery perfectly integrated into the drive-side chain stay.
The
other version is specifically designed for mechanical transmissions with internal cable routing and a
lower profile chain stay thanks to not needing to house the battery pack.

No detail was left unstudied as even the handlebar was completely designed to be as efficient as
possible. Pinarello engineers developed the ANURA™ bar not only to be aerodynamic on its own,
but also to integrate perfectly to the shape and geometry of the GRAAL, thus producing a handlebar
and groupset that function perfectly together as one body.
The ANURA™ bars have internal cable
routing that is compatible with both electronic and mechanical transmissions, allowing for a cleaner
line in addition to increased aerodynamic efficiency.
Available in stem length equivalents of 120mm,
105mm and 90mm, the ANURA™ has both a flat and curved profile version.

The bar is completely customizable with interchangeable pads, extensions and risers allowing each
rider, no matter how he or she is, to find their perfect position.

Both frame and bar are made with Torayca 60HM1K carbon with Nanoalloy technology.
