Pinarello, founded in 1952 by Giovanni "Nani" Pinarello in Treviso, Italy, began as a small shop and evolved into a leader in high-performance bicycles. The brand gained early recognition with Guido De Rosso’s 1961 Tour de l’Avenir win and grew in prominence through victories like Fausto Bertoglio’s 1975 Giro d’Italia win and Giovanni Battaglin’s 1981 Giro and Vuelta titles.
In the 1990s, Pinarello's innovation peaked with the Espada time trial bike, developed with Formula 1 engineer Marco Giachi, helping Miguel Indurain set a world record. Pinarello continued to innovate with the Paris and Dogma series and has since expanded into mountain bikes, maintaining its position as a cycling technology leader.
