1. INTRODUCTION
Dear Pinarello customer,
In this manual, Cicli Pinarello provides recommendations for the use of your new bicycle and
instructions for its care and maintenance. Technical evolution in bicycle technologies is rapid, so
even if you consider yourself an expert cyclist you should still read this manual.
For your safety and to guarantee long life for your bike, you should read the entire manual, paying
special attention to the sections with instructions on assembling and setting up the bike (Section
5), special instructions for your first ride (Section 3) and general instructions on the proper use of
your bicycle (Section 8) and its pedal assist system (Sections 4 and 7).
The manual refers exclusively to the Pinarello Nytro Dust bicycle, meaning that the instructions
are only for this model and do not apply to any others. Remember that the explanations and
instructions cannot possibly cover every situation, since factors such as experience, manual
ability and the tools of those working on the bike will inevitably vary. This is not a bicycle assembly
manual, and it cannot fully replace the experience and knowledge of an expert mechanic. For
these reasons, for any support needed, Cicli Pinarello always recommends that you call on the
network of official Pinarello dealers and their irreplaceable professionalism and experience.
Before your first outing, familiarise yourself with the Nytro Dust by practicing in a known, safe
place. Compared to the average use of a regular muscle-powered bicycle, a pedelec allows you to
reach much higher speeds, quickly and quietly. You need to familiarise yourself with these features
before beginning a ride, and you need to be aware of how they affect the rider’s relationship with
other road users.
Last but not least, note that a pedelec is a means of transport that, like all other road and off-
road means, involves important risks for the health and physical safety of the user, even more so
since it does not have the safety devices of a car - such as ABS, airbags, even simple bodywork.
You should be aware of and acknowledge the risks, and adopt all the necessary behaviours to
minimise them. Always ride your pedelec with the utmost caution, respecting other road users.
Never use the pedelec while overly tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Never carry another person. Always keep both hands on the handlebar. Always obey all local laws
of the road. When riding off-road, always respect nature by riding on recognised trails and tracks.
Wear appropriate clothing, including a helmet, eye protection and garments that make you clearly
visible.

WARRANTY
The Pinarello Nytro Dust bicycle is covered by a legal warranty of two years from the date of
purchase, with possible extension of further three years subject to the registration of the bicycle,
within 30 days of purchase, on the website at the address:
pinarello.com/frame-registration
Warranty information and conditions can be found in the leaflet provided with this manual, and
can also be found on the website at:
pinarello.com/warranty
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS AND WARNINGS
The information and instructions in this manual are not intended as a guide for
repairing a bicycle or for assembling one from individual parts.
Respect the rules of the road. Never ride the bike “no hands”. Never behave in
a way that could cause danger to yourself or other road users. Never take a tow
from other vehicles. Never take your feet off the pedals, except where road
conditions or the situation require.
Never attempt any maintenance, repair, adjustment or assembly work on the
bike unless you are experienced and fully informed in what you are doing.
Mistaken actions can pose serious risks to your safety. If in doubt, contact an
authorised Pinarello dealer for support.
Read the user manuals provided by the manufacturers of the pedal assist
system and other components.
The acceleration and speed of a pedal-assisted bicycle require different riding
habits, so familiarise yourself with the bicycle before use, and be careful.
The weight distribution of a pedelec and a non-motorised bicycle are
remarkably different. A pedelec is much heavier: use maximum caution when
parking, lifting, pushing or carrying a pedelec, and when loading it into or onto
a vehicle, or mounting it on a bike carrier.
Never mount bags or anything large or heavy on the handlebar: risk of falling!
Always remove the battery and display before carrying out any inspection,
assembly work or maintenance on the pedelec. When the battery and display
are removed there is no risk of activating the pedal assist system, meaning
there is no risk of injury.
Never wear skirts or any loose or hanging garments while riding. Never attach
stretch cords, cords or tie other things onto the pedelec. These could get
caught in the wheels, drivetrain or motor, causing risk of injury.

3. FIRST RIDE WITH YOUR NYTRO DUST
1. Before riding your Nytro Dust bicycle for the first time, it is a good idea to spend some time
with your Pinarello dealer to fine-tune the set-up, so that it meets your specifications and all
components operate in the proper working ranges. For some additional details on adjustments,
refer to the manual section “Before every ride”.
2. Get to know your bike. The ride characteristics of a pedelec are specific to the hybrid
propulsion system and differ substantially from the ride of traditional bicycles. Because of this, you
should begin by familiarising yourself with the lowest level of assistance, riding in a known space
and away from risks to yourself and others.
3. The Pinarello Nytro Dust bicycle is designed to support a maximum weight of 130 kg (286 lbs),
including bike, rider, luggage and accessories. Make sure you do not exceed this limit.
4. Ask your trusted Pinarello dealer to help you check that the pedelec is equipped with all the
devices required by the road traffic laws in force where you will be using it.
5. Check the battery level of the pedal assist system. The battery must be charged before
first use. Further instructions on battery use and charging are found in the section “Use and
maintenance of the battery and battery charger”, and in the motor manufacturer’s user manual.
We recommend that you charge the battery during daylight hours and only in
dry areas with smoke or fire detectors. Do not charge the battery in a bedroom.
Place the battery on a large, non-flammable surface when charging and keep
it away from flammable objects.
Only charge the battery using the charger supplied with the bike. Never use
any other manufacturer’s charger, even if the plug is compatible.
6. Familiarise yourself with the pedal assist functions. These are operated by the remote
control mounted on the handlebar or through the switch on the top tube near the head
tube. For further details on the control and features of the pedal assist functions, see
the “User Interface” section of this manual and the motor manufacturer’s user manual.
Notice: When mounting the bike, be careful not to engage the pedals before
you are in the correct position, with your hands firmly on the handlebar. There
is a risk that you could unintentionally activate the pedal assist before you have
full control of the bike, resulting in a fall.
7. Check and familiarise yourself with the braking system. The brakes assembled on this bike
could have much greater stopping power than the ones you are used to. Test the brakes to become
familiar with their use. Check that the levers operate the brakes in the combinations you are used
to. Except for some countries, the combinations are usually the right lever for rear brake, left lever
for front brake. Familiarise yourself with the combinations if you are not used to the pattern.
8. Familiarise yourself with the shift system and its operation, unless it is similar to a system you
are used to.
9. Check the height of the frame, saddle and handlebar. The top tube should be one hand’s
width below your groin. The saddle should be set so that while seated, your heel barely reaches
the pedal at the lowest point of rotation. Once in the saddle, make sure you can touch the floor
with your toes. Your Pinarello dealer can help with set-up and offer more detailed advice.
10. If you have equipped your bicycle with quick-release or clipless pedals, ask your Pinarello
dealer to help you set up and become familiar with their use.

9
EN
Insufficient knowledge and practice or improperly adjusted pedals can prevent
proper release of the pedal when needed, leading you to fall and putting your
safety and the safety of others at risk.
11. With the support of your trusted Pinarello dealer, check the pressure of the front suspension
fork and rear suspension. Incorrect adjustment can lead to defective operation which could
damage the fork and shock absorber. A malfunctioning fork and suspension could make more
difficult to handle the bike on the road and therefore create an immediate safety hazard.
Braking action and tire grip are greatly reduced if the road surface is wet or
dirty. Under these conditions, reduce speed and ride carefully.

10

11
EN
4. BEFORE EVERY RIDE
We recommend that before each ride with your Pinarello Nytro Dust, you carry out a series of
checks for the proper operation of your bike and for your own safety.
Even after a long period of standstill, or during transport, there could be changes to the bike’s
performances and settings.
1. Check the front and rear thru-axle fastening. Check that wheels are well secured to the fork and frame.
2. Check all quick-release clamps (e.g. seatpost clamp).
Improper closing of quick-release clamps, other fasteners or through-axles
can cause parts of the bike to come loose and pose a fall hazard.
3. Check that the battery, handlebar devices and motor are properly connected and well secured.
4. Check the battery charge level. Lithium-ion batteries do not have a memory effect from
repeated charging, so we recommend that you recharge the battery after every ride, especially
long rides. Never let the battery discharge completely.
If a discharged battery is left for a long time without recharging, it could fall
below the minimum safe voltage range. The battery management system will
then permanently switch off the battery, which will no longer be usable.
You should therefore remember to recharge the battery as soon as possible
after use. Please refer to the battery management instructions in the motor
manufacturer’s manual.
5. Once the pedal assist system is turned on, check that no error symbols or warning lights
appear on the controller display. Never ride the pedelec if any error or warning signals appear.
6. Check that the battery is properly installed and secured. Never ride a pedelec if the battery is
not properly seated and secured.
7. Make sure the tires are in good condition and inflated to correct pressure. The recommended
pressure ranges between 1.5 and 2.2 bar (22-32 psi), depending on terrain and weather conditions.
Indications for pressure are usually found on the tire sidewall. Spin the wheels to make sure they
are centred, free of damaged or broken components (axles, spokes, etc.).
8. Check brake operation. Pull the levers completely with the bike stopped, checking that the pressure
point is reached without the lever touching the handlebar. On hydraulic brakes, check for leaks.
9. Lift the pedelec and let it bounce on the wheels from a low height, checking for abnormal
noises or vibrations.
10. Check that the bike is equipped with the devices required by the road laws in force in your cycling
location. It is extremely dangerous to ride without lights or reflectors in poor visibility or darkness.
11. If applicable, check the correct operation of the suspension (compression and rebound) by
applying pressure to the bike from a standing position.
12. Carefully inspect the bike components for early signs of wear or fatigue, such as cracks,
scratches, deformed shape or altered paint. Repeated low intensity working cycles, especially on
rough uneven surfaces, can lead to material fatigue.
If you detect signs of fatigue or damage on any component of the bike,
contact your local Pinarello dealer to have the component replaced. Do not
use the bike if any components are damaged or show signs of fatigue, as they
can cause sudden failure, posing very high safety risks.

5. GENERAL INFORMATION ON YOUR
NYTRO DUST BICYCLE
The Pinarello Nytro Dust bicycle is a Pedelec (Pedal Electric Cycle) or EPAC (Electrically Power
Assisted Cycle), which is a bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance as long as the
cyclist is pedalling. The moment the rider stops pedalling, the motor stops delivering torque.
The motor provides support for pedalling until you reach the local speed limits: up to 25 km/hr (15
mp/hr) or 32 km/hr (20 mp/hr) for countries including the USA, Canada, New Zealand. Once this
speed is reached, the motor automatically stops delivering torque. The motor is equipped with a
torque sensor designed to provide motor driving force proportional to the speed and force of the
human foot pedal: the harder you push on the pedals (more force), the greater the driving force
of the motor.
The rider manages the pedal assistance from the remote control or the display, both of which are
mounted on the handlebar. The sections below provide basic information and instructions on
operating the pedal assist system. For details, please refer to the motor manufacturer’s manual.
USER INTERFACE
TURNING ON/OFF
Your Pinarello Nytro Dust cycle is equipped with a SHIMANO EP8 STEPS system with integrated
battery. To turn on the system, press the power button located on the top tube near the head tube.
Keep the button pressed until the system turns on.
To turn the system off, press the power button again.
LEVELS OF ASSISTANCE
The SHIMANO STEPS system offers three power-assist levels:
• ECO
• TRAIL
• BOOST
When you turn the system on, the assistance mode will always be in OFF, regardless of the setting
last selected before turning the system off.
To change the power-assist level, press the buttons on the handlebar control.
The SHIMANO STEPS system is equipped with a WALK function, designed to help the user push
the bike in uphill situations or if the weight of the bike is excessive.
To access the WALK function, decrease the power-assist levels until you reach the OFF state and
decrease again until you reach the WALK state.
Once you reach the WALK state, push the bike while holding down the lower button on the
handlebar control to get the walking assistance from the motor. The moment you release the
button, the assist will stop.
To exit WALK mode, simply press the top button on the control, which will first turn the system
OFF and then back to the pedal assist modes discussed above.
Familiarise yourself with the power-assist levels gradually and in a familiar and
safe area. Start with the ECO level and move to the next levels only when you
are familiar with the motor thrust.

13
EN
The motor power in WALK mode depends on the gear you have engaged.
Familiarise yourself with the walking assistance system as you shift gears, to
learn how to manage it properly.
In case of faulty operation or error messages, refer to the motor manufacturer’s
manual or consult your trusted Pinarello dealer. Attempting to interfere with
the components of the pedal assist system could cause personal injuries and
irreparable damages to the system which will not be covered by the warranty.
CONNECTION OPTIONS
You can connect a PC, smartphone or tablet to the Nytro Dust cyclocomputer to customise the
settings for individual components or the entire system, and to update the firmware.
To connect a smartphone/tablet to the system, simply download the E-TUBE PROJECT
application and connect via Bluetooth or ANT+.
To connect the system to a PC, you will need the E-TUBE PROJECT PC application and a special
connection device enabling interface between the cyclocomputer and the PC.
Please refer to the motor manufacturer’s manual for further details on connection and instructions
on customisation and update procedures.

6. GENERAL NOTE ON ASSEMBLY AND
SET-UP
Your Pinarello Nytro Dust bicycle is a high-performance, complex machine. For this reason, the
assembly and set-up require specific knowledge of the cycle and its technologies, as well as
special tools and mechanical skills, available only from authorised Pinarello dealers.
This manual is not intended as a comprehensive use, repair, maintenance or
service manual. Please contact your Pinarello dealer for all service, repairs
or maintenance. Authorised Pinarello dealers provide highly qualified and
trained personnel and updated documentation concerning components and
the pedal assist system.
The Pinarello Nytro Dust frame does not require any preliminary or post
purchase preparation. Do not remove, drill, or modify any parts of your frame.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in sudden breakage, personal
injuries, and will void the warranty.
SUSPENSION FEATURES AND ADJUSTMENT
Make sure that the suspension never reaches the end of its travel, as this could cause damage to
components or the system as a whole. Suspension affects your riding behaviour, making it very
important to provide proper adjustment.
Similarly to tire pressure, it would be impossible to provide absolute recommendations on
adjusting the suspension. Above all, we recommend that you remain aware of these components.
The more you pay attention to and sense the behaviour of the suspension, the greater will be your
sensitivity in adjustment, allowing you to find the best setup to support and excel in your riding.
FRONT FORK
To adjust the fork pressure and all detailed settings, we recommend that you rely on your
trusted Pinarello dealer, who has the necessary expertise and tools to ensure perfect tuning. You
can find more detailed information on the adjustment, use and maintenance of the fork in the
manufacturer’s manual.
REAR SUSPENSION
To adjust the pressure and all detailed settings of the rear suspension, we recommend that you
rely on your trusted Pinarello dealer, who has the necessary expertise and tools to ensure perfect
tuning. You can find more detailed information on the adjustment, use and maintenance of the
rear suspension in the manufacturer’s manual.
TIRE PRESSURE
For best performance, check that the tires are inflated to a pressure between 1.5 and 2.2 bar (22-32
psi). In any case, we recommend that you adjust the pressure to your skills and driving sensations.
It is impossible to identify a single correct adjustment of tire pressures for each individual user,
because both the user and the terrain are important factors that have to be taken into account for
this kind of determination.Especially when using the bike for the first time, we suggest that you ask
your trusted Pinarello dealer for advice on correct tire pressure.

15
EN
SEATPOST
DO NOT cut or alter the seatpost in any way. Make sure that it does not protrude beyond the
minimum insertion point - marked MAX and indicated with vertical and dotted lines. If you find
that proper positioning of the saddle would mean extending the seatpost beyond this limit, you
will need to purchase a longer seatpost.
TIGHTENING TORQUES
The maximum permitted tightening torques are marked on the components themselves. Always
tighten to the recommended torque. If torque indications are missing or illegible due to wear, refer
to the component manufacturers’ manuals or contact your Pinarello dealer.

16
7. GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Your Pinarello Nytro Dust bicycle is a high quality product. Nevertheless, and precisely for this
reason, it requires continuous correct care and regular maintenance by a specialist to keep it in
perfect operation over the long term.
GENERAL CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Dirt, sweat, sea salt and salt from winter roads will damage your pedelec, meaning that the bike
and its components require regular cleaning to protect them from corrosion.
Never clean your bike with pressure washers. These force water into seals and bearings, washing
out lubricants and thus increasing friction on moving parts, causing rapid corrosion and wear.
The better way to clean your bike is to use a gentle flow of water and a sponge or brush. This will
also enable close inspection of the bike, for early detection of signs of wear, fatigue or damage.
The MOST® product line includes all the suitable products for cleaning, care and lubricating your
bicycle.
After cleaning, check the chain, and if necessary lubricate it with the appropriate products.
During cleaning, pay attention to any cracks, scratches, altered paint or
deformations of materials in the components. If in doubt, have the bike
inspected by your trusted Pinarello dealer, who can provide assistance, and
where necessary, replace the damaged components.
Only use products specific to bicycle care. Aggressive, non-neutral degreasers
or chemical detergents could cause cosmetic, surface damage, or worse,
alter the characteristics of important components such as moving parts and
bearings.
The motor action leads to faster chain wear than on regular muscle-powered
bikes. Before each ride, inspect the chain for wear.
Do not apply cleaning and care products or chain lubricant to the brake pads
or discs. This could reduce the braking performance and pose a serious safety
hazard.
CLEANING THE FRONT FORK
After each ride: clean dirt and debris from the upper tubes and dust seals; check air pressure and
inspect the upper tubes for scratches. After every 50 hours of use: service the chainstay at your
authorised Pinarello dealer. After every 200 hours of use: service the spring and damper assembly.
Refer to the fork manufacturer’s manual for more details.
CLEANING THE REAR SUSPENSION
Clean the shock absorber with water and mild detergent. Never clean the shock with pressure
washers. To maintain the high performance, safety and long life of your rear suspension,
periodically check tightening torques, perform routine maintenance on the shock, and service
and grease the linkage system. Refer to the rear shock manufacturer’s manual for maintenance
intervals and procedures. In any case, we advise you to refer to your trusted Pinarello dealer to
carry out maintenance operations.

17
EN
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
We recommend that you have your trusted Pinarello dealer check the bike periodically. An
assembly check should be carried out after the first few kilometres, for purposes of adjustment
after the components have settled in. After that, we recommend that the bike be inspected
periodically (approximately once a year).
These inspections enable the identification of any worn components and the return of the bike to
perfect working order.
Use only original spare parts or alternative components suggested by your
Pinarello dealer. Replacement parts from other sources and/or of other sizes,
especially those subject to wear, could damage your bike and/or create a
safety hazard.
The use of non-original spare parts or parts not recommended by Cicli
Pinarello, and any repair, maintenance and service performed by unauthorised
personnel will void the warranty and CE marking.

8. USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE
BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER
This section provides the main instructions on the use of the battery. For more detailed and specific
information please refer to the manual provided by the manufacturer of the pedal assist system.
CHARGING AND USE OF THE BATTERY
You cannot use the battery immediately after purchase. Batteries begin to deteriorate from the
very first time they are charged. After purchase, and after the bicycle is stored for an extended
period of time, charge the battery just before you intend to use it. The battery must be charged
with the designated charger. Always charge it before use. The charging time depends on the
battery level and the charger used. Please refer to the user manual of the charger for the stated
charging time. We recommend the use of a genuine SHIMANO battery. If you use a battery from
another manufacturer, please read the relevant instruction manual carefully before use. Open the
E-TUBE PROJECT app and click “Check connection” to determine whether the battery used is an
original SHIMANO battery or another brand.
When charging the battery, use the specified SHIMANO charger and follow
the instructions for charging conditions. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in overheating, explosion or ignition of the battery.
When charging the battery while it is mounted on the bike, be careful not
to trip over the charging cable and avoid getting anything getting caught
in it. Failure to do so could result in injury or the bike falling over, damaging
components.
