Cipollini Bikes

Cipollini - bike brand of a former pro cyclist

It’s quite common for former pros to go out and start their own bike brand. The trend stretches back to Eddy Merckx, Giovanni Pinarello and beyond. But perhaps no brand’s bikes more closely represents the type of rider who started the brand than Cipollini. Mario Cipollini was a flashy, powerful sprinter who loved to spice up the races he attended. And his bikes are flashy, provocative bikes that are solid enough to push 1900 watts without a flinch.

That is not to say these aren’t bikes that us mere 500 watt-max mortals can ride and love. It’s just that these bikes, even the ones meant for gravel or endurance riding, are stiff, racy, opinionated and really meant for riders who not only love a solid ride but a fun story behind the bike. But what you will really be getting from Cipollini bikes is a high quality frame that has been designed, constructed and painted all in Italy, which is pretty rare these days.
