Pinarello just announced F8 XLight
here is some info from the distributor:
1. Only 2 paint schemes available at the moment, carbon Sky (color code 898) and carbon red (color code 970).
2. Overall frameset weight will be at least 8% lighter than standard F8.
3. Production will be limited run due to extreme processing difficulty.
4. Frameset will be shipped out from factories in late Nov, arriving at distributors and retailers at around Christmas.
5. Price is not released yet..

That's 71 killos for people on the old continent.
And that ladies and gents is the level of the pinarello's incompetence...
You do realize that it will still be heavier than a supersix, ultimate cf slx, fuji sl, ax lightness...etc
And because it will be more expensive than any of those, people will buy it.

This strikes me as an early attempt to justify the eye watering price......

^ that. Very pathetic attempt at weightweenism. Several times the price of a Fuji SL, and no way will it be several times better (well it already lost in the weight dept).

The rider weight limit is even slightly lower at 154 pounds according to this photograph. Nonetheless, a vast majority of riders will be too heavy for this frame. I will be looking to get the regular Dogma F8 as I weigh 169 pounds.

It's all downhill from here, except for the uphills.

So XLight is basically referred to rider weight hmm.
