2018 Pinarrello Dogma K8-S (Used)

The K8-S is a rare find, designed for the cobbled classics, like Paris-Roubaix. What’s initially most striking about the K8-S is its race geometry.

Yes, it’s an endurance bike that makes concessions for rear-end flex, yet it also has an aggressive 163-millimeter head tube, 72.3-degree head tube angle, and snappy 415-millimeter chain stays.

Pinarello’s rear suspension is the attention-grabber, but it’s not the entire plotline of the K8-S. The elastomer-based shock—dubbed the DSS 1.0—definitely adds real vibration control. It offers 9 millimeters of rear travel and adjustable preload.

Despite all of that, the K8-S still delivers the vital road feedback required of a race bike. The road doesn’t disappear; it just gets cleaned up a bit.
