It’s rare for any brand to seamlessly transcend cycling sub-cultures in the way that Cinelli does but equally as rare for a global bike manufacturer to hand-craft frames onsite at a European HQ with arguably the shortest supply chain going (next door!).
Benefitting from more than a century of experience held by sister company Columbus, Cinelli is free to push creative boundaries, designing and fabricating special edition steel bikes, purely because passion drove the team in that direction.
Speciale Gravel is the latest creation born out of this all-Italian pairing. Initially designed around the Nemo Gravel, following a total rethink of construction alongside extensive weight optimization, Cinelli has shaved nearly 200g from the frame weight, achieving 2120g.
Designed for the modern gravel rider who refuses to settle for ‘ordinary’, this platform is for those who want a fast, aggressive yet versatile gravel machine with a unique soul and looks to match. The Speciale Gravel blends performance with durability, featuring evolved Columbus Spirit tubing, a Columbus Components Divide Integrated Carbon Fork and a universal derailleur hanger.
Integrated fully-internal routing presents a clean aesthetic suitable for both mechanical and electronic groups in 1x or 2x setup. Also, with a dropper post compatibility and tire clearance of up to 29×2.2”, few technical trails are beyond the capabilities of the Speciale Gravel.
This limited edition model, in Agave colorway, is built with a full Shimano GRX 1x groupset and Columbus Components finishing kit, while the wheels are Fulcrum Rapid Red AL, shod with Vittoria Mezcal XC 29×2.1 tires.
Only available for sale online and onsite for the 5 days of the EUROBIKE show in Frankfurt, this limited quantity build is expected to sell fast. This limited edition Speciale Gravel is priced at €4,800 for standard sizes. Made-to-measure sizing is available from €5,800.
