I especially like the Road version and Adventure version with a slightly steeper head tube on the men bike (I think they got rid of the Dolomite for 2019? @jameso ? )
Correct, Arkose Road replaces the Dolomite - so many Arkoses ended up on 28-32mm tyres with guards and it has more options for the summer on bigger or 650B tyres. Geometry is the same as before, works well in that middleground. Arkose frame and fork is the same on both Road and Dirt models and only the builds vary.

Pretty much my experience, even straight from a box, customer always seemed to request 28mm tyres, I have to really convinced one customer not to fit 23mm tyres on it as it is way too narrow for such bike!
Sad to see the Dolomite being discontinued but it make more sense in the grand scheme.

Just to confirm the frame is exactly the same?
I really only like the green frame of the cheapest model. But if it's only the parts that are different then I could just sell them.

2019 Pinnacle Arkose now have thru axle front and rear, Di2 ready, dynamo routing, fully internal cable routing etc.
Look real good and a massive improvement over the original, I especially like the Road version and Adventure version with a slightly steeper head tube on the men bike (I think they got rid of the Dolomite for 2019? @jameso ? )
Just need to find out about getting the frameset just for that 12mm TA rear.
