PinarelloGan
Origin
Introduced in 2016 as Pinarello’s most accessible carbon road bike, the Gan was derived from the F8 race platform but re-tuned for everyday riders. It carried the full visual DNA of the brand — the kinked Onda fork, asymmetric carbon frame, and FlatBack aerofoil tube profiles co-developed with Jaguar — at roughly one-fifth of the Dogma’s price. The Gan Disc variant followed with flat-mount hydraulic brakes and a thru-axle, making it one of the more affordable disc-brake road bikes with premium Italian brand provenance. Pinarello phased out the Gan around 2022, replacing it with the more endurance-focused X-Series that added 32 mm tyre clearance and Flexy Stays compliance technology.
Specifications
- Frame
- T600 UD carbon monocoque, asymmetric design borrowed from Dogma lineage; FlatBack truncated aerofoil tube profiles developed alongside Jaguar. Asymmetric chainstays and seatstays manage drivetrain and brake torque. Internal cable routing (semi-internal on early builds). Both rim-brake and disc variants produced.
- Weight
- kg
- Drivetrain
- Shimano 105 R7000 11-speed standard; compact 50/34 chainrings, 11-30 cassette. Some builds used Shimano Tiagra. All builds paired MOST alloy handlebar/stem and MOST saddle.
- Brakes
- Shimano 105 rim callipers on standard builds; Shimano 105 hydraulic disc (flat-mount) on Gan Disc variant.
- Wheels
- Fulcrum Racing R7LG on rim-brake builds; Mavic Aksium Disc (1,900 g) on disc builds. Build-dependent.
The verdict
- Genuine Pinarello DNA — asymmetric carbon, Onda fork, and FlatBack aero tube profiles trickle down from the race range
- Swift and sharp-handling: reviewers describe it as “speedy and responsive” with good power transfer for an entry-level build
- Disc variant delivers excellent stopping power and modern thru-axle security
- T600 carbon is heavier and less refined than Pinarello’s higher-modulus layups; harsher ride on rough roads
- Narrow 25 c tyre clearance (rim-brake) limits all-road versatility compared to more modern endurance bikes
- Stock spec (Mavic Aksium disc wheels, basic 105) considered sub-par for the price premium the Pinarello badge commands
