===Time trial and triathlon models=== Following the success of Pinarello's first experiment with aero tubing in Indurain's 1992 Banesto Line time trial bike, Pinarello developed the carbon monocoque '''Espada''' with input from Formula 1 expert Giacchi for the 1994 Hour Record attempt. This was Pinarello's first carbon frame.<ref>Icons of cycling: Miguel Indurain’s Pinarello Espada https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/icons-of-cycling-miguel-indurains-pinarello-espada-203071. 12 Dec 2015.</ref> Indurain succeeded in setting a new standard on the Espada by breaking 53 kph for the first time with a mark of 53.040 kph. Indurain gained further success on the Espada in the 1995 Tour, winning both long time trials, before returning to a Banesto Line frame to win the 1996 Olympic time trial. The '''Pinarello Montello FP8''' was a time trial bicycle manufactured by Pinarello prior to the introduction of the Graal. It was made with aerospace grade carbon fibre composite. The 50HM3K carbon fibre creates an ultra stiff and light ride. The '''Pinarello Graal''' is a time trial frame manufactured by Pinarello. The Graal was designed using [[Computational fluid dynamics|CFD]] techniques, maximizing the efficiency of the bicycle. The frame is available in both an electronic version and mechanical version, with the electronic version featuring an internally mounted battery.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pinarello.com/eng/graal_610.php |title=Cicli Pinarello S.P.A |publisher=Pinarello.com |access-date=2012-08-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120831032513/http://www.pinarello.com/eng/graal_610.php |archive-date=2012-08-31 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The '''Pinarello Bolide''' was released on 2 May 2013<ref name="Cycling news Pinarello Bolide">{{Cite web|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/pinarello-to-unveil-bolide-time-trial-bike-at-giro-ditalia/|title=Pinarello to unveil Bolide time trial bike at Giro d'Italia|first=Sam|last=Dansie|website=cyclingnews.com|date=2 May 2013}}</ref> with gains of a 15% reduction in aerodynamic drag and 5% reduction in weight over the Graal. [[Team Sky]]'s [[2012 Tour de France]] winner [[Bradley Wiggins|Sir Bradley Wiggins]] used the new bike at the [[2013 Giro d'Italia]]. The Bolide has been in development for over year with both Pinarello lab technicians and Team Sky working on the bike. The Bolide uses aeroplane wing-shaped tubular sections in conjunction with a 'concave back' on the seat tube. This allows the rear wheel and frame to be closer together. In addition, the brakes are shielded behind leading small fairings and the frame utilizes integrated cabling to further minimize drag.<ref name="Cycling news Pinarello Bolide"/> {{multiple image | align = center | image1 = R Porte PN2015.png | width1 = 300 | alt1 = | caption1 = | image2 = B Wiggins PN2015.png | width2 = 290 | alt2 = | caption2 = | footer = Porte in his [[Australian National Time Trial Championships|national time trial champion]]'s jersey onboard his custom painted Bolide (left) [[Bradley Wiggins]] wearing the [[rainbow jersey|rainbow]] skinsuit at the [[2015 Paris–Nice]] onboard his custom Bolide (right) }} On 21 June 2013 Pinarello released their second (in-house developed) ''high end'' time trial frame within two months, called the '''Pinarello Sibilo'''.<ref name="Cycling news Pinarello Sibilo">{{Cite web|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/pinarello-releases-sibilo-time-trial-frame/|title=Pinarello releases Sibilo time trial frame|first=Sam|last=Dansie|website=cyclingnews.com|date=21 June 2013}}</ref> The Sibilo will debut at the [[2013 Tour de France]] with [[Alejandro Valverde]] of [[Movistar Team (men's team)|Movistar Team]].<ref name="Cycling news Pinarello Sibilo"/> Early impressions are that the Sibilo shares some common features with the Bolide, such as; airfoil tubing, track style rear dropouts and a 'concave back'. Moreover, the Sibilo carries some aerodynamic refinements over the Bolide, for example, the front brake is further integrated into the forks and the rear brake has been moved towards the chainstays. These modifications remove the need for the brake fairings which are seen on the Bolide. The Sibilo is constructed from the same Torayca 65HM1K carbon as the Bolide, with internal cable routing for extra aerodynamic benefit. The Sibilo utilizes the stiff BB86 bottom bracket and can also accommodate both mechanical groupsets such as the [[Shimano]] Dura-Ace and [[Campagnolo]] Super Record sets, as well as their electronic variants (Dura-Ace Di2 and Campagnolo EPS).<ref name="Cycling news Pinarello Sibilo"/> The '''Pinarello Xirion''' is designed specifically for triathletes by utilizing favorable frame geometry and is made from 24HM Unidirectional carbon fibre. The Xirion is sold as a complete bicycle fitted with Vision cycling components.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pinarello.com/eng/xiron_789.php|title=Pinarello Xirion|access-date=2013-07-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130715061016/http://www.pinarello.com/eng/xiron_789.php|archive-date=2013-07-15|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[File:World Hour Record Pinarello (19657953744).jpg|thumbnail|right|Bradley Wiggins' modified Bolide HR he used for his successful Hour Record attempt]] In light of [[Bradley Wiggins]]' hour record attempt, Pinarello collaborated with [[Jaguar Cars|Jaguar]] to produce the '''Bolide HR'''.
