Cipollini Bond² Rival AXS - A premium all-rounder

Over his career, the former sprint world champion and company founder Mario Cipollini was the epitome of full-speed racing. To be able to ride fast for a long time, even as an ambitious amateur rider, your bike must be comfortable as well as stiff. The Bond² strikes just the right balance of stiffness and flexibility.
It's comfortable and predictable at the front and stiff and responsive at the rear. A longer wheelbase makes for a comfortable and smooth ride, and carefully shaped tubing also smooths out bumpy roads. The low weight makes it a good climber, yet it remains a true Cipollini: chic and fast.
Thanks to the unique construction of the fork and headset, completely internal cable routing ensures a clean design and aerodynamic advantages.

A perfectly tuned set-up

While tradition-conscious Italian brands have long been reluctant to install disc brakes on road bikes, Cipollini now uses powerful hydraulic disc brakes from Sram.This version of the Dolomia has Sram Rival Etap AXS, which offers a reliable introduction to smooth, electronic shifting. It's wireless, so it fits in with the clean design, and allows a wide gear range and customisability via the Sram AXS app. A 48-35 double chainring at the front and a large 12-speed 10-36 cassette at the back make every mountain stage a breeze. It's also got plenty for the flats too. The versatile 34 mm FULCRUM Racing 400 DB wheels are fast and durable too. The 28-millimeter Pirelli tyres give you extra comfort for long days in the saddle

The result of intensive research

Mario Cipollini invests a great deal of time and passion in research and development work to keep coming up with innovative, high-performance frame designs that are also exceptionally aesthetically and emotionally appealing. His team at the company headquarters in Verona includes the best engineers in the industry.

The brand relies on transparent production chains and Italian craftsmanship: the bikes are developed and produced mainly in Italy, including production still done by hand. The carbon lamination takes place in the Cipollini Bike Centre in Bosnia under the supervision of Italian experts. Cipollini tests the materials together with professional teams, which the brand also partially sponsors.

The Bond² is UCI-compliant, but any rider with a love of Italian design and a need for speed will have a blast on this machine.
