Pinarello Launches Second-Generation X Series Endurance Bikes with 40mm Clearance and Integrated Storage

Pinarello has released the second-generation X Series endurance road bikes, featuring a new frame with 40mm tire clearance, integrated down-tube storage, and a flexing seatpost.

Trek Retires IsoSpeed on New Domane, Betting on Tyres and Weight Savings

Trek has launched the fifth-generation Domane, its flagship endurance road bike, without its signature IsoSpeed comfort system. Introduced in 2012, IsoSpeed used a decoupled seat tube to absorb vibrations. The new model replaces this mechanical complexity with a lighter carbon frame, a flexible round seatpost, and larger 40mm tyre clearance. Trek claims the new design is 305g lighter than the previous generation while maintaining similar vibration damping performance. The bike also drops in-frame storage, relying instead on external bag mounts. Prices start at $2,399.99 for the entry-level SL model, with the top-spec SLR 9 costing $11,499. A limited Project One edition is priced at $14,999.

Trek Domane Gen 5 Drops IsoSpeed for Lighter, Simpler Endurance Ride

Trek has launched the fifth-generation Domane, its endurance road bike, by removing the proprietary IsoSpeed decoupler and in-frame storage. The new model relies on a lighter carbon layup, a standard round seatpost, and wider tire clearance to maintain comfort while reducing weight by 305 grams. The top-spec build now weighs 6.63 kg, positioning the bike as a versatile climber and endurance machine rather than a specialized cobbled-race tool.
