Taking advantage of the great showcase of theItalian Bike Festival, Cinelli presented its new flagship model in the road sector: Pressure IIThis is the most aerodynamic creation of the historic Milanese brand. The monocoque frame was perfected in weight and lines to create a bike that aims for speed and performanceBut not only.

Less weight and more rigidity

Compared to previous model The Pressure II is 5% lighter, 109 grams to be precise.This was possible by working on the length of the seat post, the seat clamp and the cable guides (all integrated) with a 100% Italian work of engineering and design, in full style Cinelli.

To achieve the perfect compromise between weight and stiffness – the best in the company's history – the R&D department started from 4 different prototypesThanks to a study on the different layers of the Columbus Carbon Monocoque T800 carbon fiber, we then arrived at the definitive model, approved by both laboratory tests and by athletes.

An all-rounder aeroplane

Another new feature is the more generous wheel clearance compared to the past. The Pressure II can accommodate 32mm tyres, to the advantage of rolling resistance and comfort. This also makes it, on closer inspection, an all-round bike with a strong aerodynamic vocation, a total vehicle.

As already mentioned the cable routing is fully integrated, also thanks to the Pressure II Carbon Handlebar cockpit, another gem of the design Cinelli. In addition to this, the profiles have also been optimised for aerodynamics, as has the riding position, which is more aggressive and geared towards maximum speed.

One frame kit and two colors

The Pressure II It is presented in 4 different settingsWith a Sram Red Etap AXS groupset and Fulcrum Wind 42 wheels for €10.300. With a Dura Ace Di2 groupset and Fulcrum Wind 42 wheels for €9.500. Then with an Ultegra Di2 groupset and Fulcrum 600 wheels for €6.500. Finally, with a 105 Di2 groupset and Fulcrum 600 wheels for €5.600.

It is also available the frame kit alone which includes frame, fork, seatpost and cockpit at 4.100 eurosThe frame weight in size M is 975 grams, while the fork weighs 390 grams.
