Pinarello has kept their legendary Prince name in circulation for well over a decade. The first-generation Prince was a Dedacciai SC61.10a aluminum bike. It was introduced just after Jan Ullrich won the ‘97 Tour de France (on a Pinarello), and it is best known for being the bike that spawned the aluminum-main-frame-mated-to-carbon-seatstays craze of the late 90’s.

Pinarello Prince Carbon Di2 Bike

The second-generation Prince was known as the Prince SL. Introduced in 2003, it pushed the alu/carbon hybridization to its absolute limit. Carbon was lighter, carbon was better at absorbing high-frequency vibration, carbon had a superior fatigue life. Pinarello helped lead the charge in 2005 with the introduction of their F4:13 carbon fiber frame, which they soon followed up with the Paris Carbon. Pinarello took the lessons they learned in developing these bikes and matched them up with recent developments in composites technology. The end result was a cost-is-no-object carbon thoroughbred so refined they couldn’t resist the temptation to give it their most beloved name: the Prince Carbon, the third-generation Prince they’ve designed to outstrip the greatness of the two generations that preceded it.
