Guerciotti celebrates the sixty years of activity, a truly important milestone for the Milanese company and for an iconic brand in the Italian cycling industry.
To celebrate the birthday was born Sixty, a bicycle that breaks the mold, an exclusive road bike that's also available in a limited edition with gold paint. Let's go into more detail.
Not just a cross icon
"Sixty years is a great milestone," he says. Alessandro Guerciotti – and we wanted to create a bike capable of representing the excellence of our bikes from different erasSixty is a new bike, it's not a revisitation or a re-proposal, a bicycle that even in terms of design has never been made before. It's not a gamble, but the result of a project that began to take shape in 2022 and fruit of a close collaboration with Mitsubishi, one of the world's leading carbon suppliers.
«It is precisely this collaboration – continues Guerciotti – that has allowed us to design a frame as important in its shapes as it is light, as well as being unique for some of the concepts it brings with it. For example, the entire front end with the fork that doesn't have the classic stem, but features a sort of very rigid and particularly efficient pivot from a technical standpoint."
The Sixty in detail
It is made of carbon and uses the Mitsubishi T65 fiber with a unidirectional external finish, essential for compacting the composite and providing rigidity. In addition to a fiber with high technical qualities, the flagship (and distinguishing feature) of the Guerciotti Sixty is the design that pushes towards marked, at times extreme aerodynamics.
Starting from the front end, a sort of single block, where integration reaches its maximum expressionThe fork, front section of the head tube and handlebar form a single unit. The fork has straight stems, with a narrow front section and a truncated rear profile. Thin at the front, with enlarged side sections and a head that fits into the downtube. This design solution also features recesses that only increase aerodynamic efficiency.
The handlebar is an integrated with the split attack and raised above the horizon line, while the fold is flat at the top. The curves have a slightly accentuated flare.
Flattened horizontal and semi-curved carriage
The downtube has balanced volumes along its entire length, while the top tube, seat tube, and entire rear triangle have decidedly original shapes. The top tube almost resembles a blade, with a very thin profile near the seat tube (which has an integrated locking block). The seatpost is specific for the Sixty.
The seat tube is straight in the first (upper) part and curves towards the inside of the triangle from the middle, until it reaches the point where it joins the bottom bracket shell. This solution also contributes to shorten the rear endThe seat stays of the carriage are straight and the volumes are not excessive, while the oblique ones recall a semi-curve with arching and blade designThey are flat and aerodynamic, especially in the upper part, like real blades that become one with the horizontal.
Limited “gold” edition of 60 pieces
To celebrate 60 years of activity, Guerciotti Sixty is launched in a limited edition (only 60 pieces) with gold paint and glossy finish, QTC Hurricane carbon wheels and Shimano Dura Ace drivetrain. Each of these bikes will have the buyer's name engraved on it.The list price for the limited edition is 15.000 euros.
The Sixty has officially joined the Guerciotti lineup. And it's not just a limited edition; the new bike will also be available in traditional color combinations and different builds at various price points. Guerciotti Sixty It is available in five sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL.
