While innovation, genuine or at least the appearance of it, seems to fly by at a frantic pace from season to season when it comes to bikes, the models themselves remain relatively resolute. Rare is it to see a new model, and rarer still is an overhaul of a whole range of bikes. Pinarello has decided some spring cleaning is in order and has retired its long-serving Prince and Paris models, replacing them with the ‘F’ and ‘X’ series, designed for racing and endurance respectively. 

We were lucky enough to spend a few days recently in southern Spain to bring you a first ride review of the new Pinarello F7, but we also got to see the whole range of new bikes and hear what they are all about.

Will joined the Cyclingnews team as a reviews writer in 2022, having previously written for Cyclist, BikeRadar and Advntr. There are very few types of cycling he's not dabbled in, and he has a particular affection for older bikes and long lasting components. Road riding was his first love, before graduating to racing CX in Yorkshire. He's been touring on a vintage tandem all the way through to fixed gear gravel riding and MTB too. When he's not out riding one of his many bikes he can usually be found in the garage tinkering with another of them, or getting obsessive about tyres. Also, as he doesn't use Zwift, he's our go-to guy for bad weather testing... bless him.
