Cinelli’s explosive mid-range monocoque frame for
the highly evolved amateur is now equipped with the
Columbus monocoque Solida fork. Completely designed
by the Columbus Carbon Lab for unparalleled reliability
and efficiency in this weight division.
• The shape of the frame’s joints, key points of structural
stress, have been studied to minimise the level of
the specific stress (Low Sigma Transition) in the
transition points significantly increasing the
reliability and fatigue resistance of the frame.
• Top tube has been aggressively thinned out into a
skeletal structure (Skeletal Efficiency Philosophy) with
carbon material arranged in the paths of maximum
stress. Constant arc from the top tube to the chains
stays has been designed in order to exercise the inherent
laminate qualities of the material under vertical
deformation for progressive control of the flexion of
stays and top tube (Progressive Flexion Control)
creating a noticeably smoother and more consistent
ride quality.
• All the tube’s sections of the main triangle increase
according to the size of the frame for greatest
efficiency and suitable ride quality.
• Material savings from top tube and seatstays are
redistributed to the bottom bracket area and ‘ swollen’
chainstays which has been considerably bulked up,
producing a relatively high level of stiffness relative
to weight, while maintaining strong and certain
progressive handling.
