Pinarello Rokh Ultegra 6800

The 2014 ROKH (pronounced ''rock'') is the direct descendent of the KOBH which was developed for racing on the extreme roads of northern Europe such as those traversed in the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix

ROKH is completely updated for 2014, with the new Think2 system (mechanical and electric ready) and new Press FIT30 bottom bracket, the frame is designed to provide the outstanding performance of the DOGMA K to a wider audience of granfondo riders.

The sloping geometry offers a slightly greater stack height for a given reach

This is accomplished by increasing the fork length and rake slightly to raise the front end and changing the rear triangle from the Onda System to the Century Ride System

The Century Ride System incorporates curvilinear seatstays which increase vertical compliance without sacrificing lateral stiffness

Far from becoming a luxurious touring machine, the ROKH still showcases the ride characteristics that sets Pinarello apart while increasing the comfort and versatility on longer cycling excursions

The ROKH shares the asymmetric frameset design that compensates for the uneven forces acting on the frame due to the drive train being offset to the right side

The ROKH also features Pinarello's proprietary headset system, but for the first time the lower bearing has been increased to 1-1/2'' allowing an additional taper to the steer tube further increasing front-end rigidity for more precise handling and stability during quick maneuvers such as sprinting or fast twisting descents
