Though images of Pinarello's steeds usually conjure up thoughts of podiums, grant tours, and prestigious races, the brand threw us a little bit of a curve ball last year with its launch into the realm of e-bikes that don't look like e-bikes. At first glance the Dyodo road machine looked just as sleek as anything in the Dogma lineup, but the bike nearly literally pedaled itself up climbs for you, enabling cyclists to reach new highs and tackle bigger rides. This year Pinarello took note of the attention that off-road rides are getting, and opted to keep things going in the electric realm, launching into the E-Gravel world with the Dyodo Gravel Ultegra E-Bike.

What you get is a bike that's stiff under power, corners like it's on rails, and its super light as well, with power assist on demand.

The motor and battery only add 7. 7lbs to the build making it one of the lightest pedal assist systems on the market as well as one of the cleanest looking setups. The hub-based motor adds 250-watts and is powered by ...
