INEOS Grenadiers have unveiled their 2026 race bike, and it is a significant departure from recent seasons. The team’s new Pinarello Dogma F features a striking white-and-orange livery that replaces the dark color schemes of previous years, along with a notable switch from Shimano to Scope wheels.
The new setup reflects both the latest evolution of Pinarello’s flagship platform and INEOS Grenadiers’ desire to refresh their image heading into a pivotal season.
The New Dogma F
The 2026 Pinarello Dogma F represents another leap forward for what is already one of the most successful racing platforms in cycling history. Reports indicate a lighter, more aerodynamic chassis shaped extensively in the wind tunnel, with improvements in both stiffness-to-weight ratio and aerodynamic efficiency compared to its predecessor.
Pinarello’s engineers have refined the frame shapes and tube profiles to reduce drag at racing speeds while maintaining the responsive handling and power transfer that have made the Dogma a favorite of WorldTour riders for years. The new frame also incorporates updated cable routing and improved integration with the latest electronic groupsets.
The Scope Wheels Switch
Perhaps the most surprising change is the move from Shimano wheels to Scope. The Dutch wheel manufacturer has been making inroads in the professional peloton, and securing INEOS Grenadiers as a partner is a major statement of their ambitions.
Scope’s carbon wheels have earned a reputation for excellent aerodynamic performance and durability, and the brand’s smaller size compared to giants like Shimano or Zipp allows for a more bespoke, team-focused development approach. INEOS riders will have access to custom wheel builds tailored to their specific power outputs, weights, and riding styles.
The Livery
The white-and-orange color scheme marks a dramatic visual change for a team that has typically favored darker aesthetics. The bright livery is designed to stand out in the peloton and on television broadcasts, giving INEOS a fresh, modern identity that reflects the team’s evolution under its current management structure.
Initial reaction from fans and media has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the clean lines of the white frame against the bold orange accents. It is a bike that looks fast standing still — which, given the Dogma’s racing pedigree, is entirely appropriate.
Season Outlook
INEOS Grenadiers enter 2026 with a roster built for both the classics and the Grand Tours. The new Dogma F and Scope wheels package gives them equipment that matches their ambitions, and the striking new livery signals a team that is looking to make a statement. With the Tour de France’s grueling 2026 route demanding the very best climbing bikes in the peloton, the lighter, more aerodynamic Dogma F could not have arrived at a better time.
