Cinelli Road Bikes

To own a Cinelli is to possess one of the prized must-haves in road racing bicycles.  Many regard this Italian two-wheel masterpiece as a rolling work of art, but its plus points are much more than aesthetics.  This street head-turner bears the imprint of noted Italian cyclist Cino Cinelli whose road racing bicycle ideas and design helped spark a revolution in human-powered racing machines around the late 1940s.

The Cinelli road racing bicycles of today still largely retain Cino’s concepts foremost of which is incorporating the principles of aerodynamics in the bicycle’s frames and wheels.  The entire cycling world was nearly taken aback when Cino introduced longer cranks and smaller front wheels which Cino firmly maintained provided improved aerodynamics and allowed for more powerful pedal strokes and hence a much faster ride.  Cinelli road bikes utilize the latest aluminum and carbon bonding technology to create super light and highly responsive bikes.

What has also become basic to the philosophy of Cinelli road racing bicycles is rider placement where the design puts the cyclist in a more aggressive posture.  Each design also endeavors to utilize appropriately stiff materials in order to reduce vibrations and optimize the cyclist’s athleticism.

Fork design is what a Cino design has likewise set itself distinct from the rest of the pack. Cino’s fork pioneered designs with a sloping crown which shortens the fork legs; hence, fork flex is reduced and fork rigidness promoted, contributing to a more efficient ride.  Cino’s concepts may be too revolutionary to accept, but it’s hard to argue with success.

That the Japanese and Mexican national cycling teams have banked on Cino’s frames in past Olympic Games campaigns proves the superiority of his road racing bicycle design.
