Cinelli releases Aeroscoop aero road bike with sub-7 kg builds
Cinelli has introduced Aeroscoop, an all-new aero road bike, pitched to be the Italian brand's fastest bike to date. The carbon frame targets low drag and high stiffness, with a claimed 4% reduction in frontal area versus the Pressure 2 – a number that Cinelli said translates to more than one minute saved over 60 km at a 45 km/h average (if you can hold it).
The headline aero claims are backed by tests run at GST's wind tunnel in Immenstaad, and Cinelli said the Aeroscoop beats the likes of Specialized Tarmac SL8 in head-on flow when using identical wheels, and ranks among the ten fastest bikes tested.
The frame design is heavily influenced by the aero intentions, with a double-arm seatstay layout with a central air channel, a lowered and widened down tube to better shield bottles, a smoothed head tube-cockpit transition, and a reshaped fork crown to cut frontal turbulence. As one might expect, the frame has full internal routing, UDH hanger, and UCI approval.
Weight for a painted size-M frame is quoted at 950 g (±5%), with a 370 g fork. Tyre clearance is 34 mm, and Cinelli says the geometry is "pure race" across five sizes (XS–XL) with a 1.41 stack-to-reach ratio for a low, aggressive position.
The frame layup is a mix of Toray's carbon fibres, with latex bladders used during moulding to control resin flow and fibre orientation. The claimed complete-bike weights are 6.98 kg with SRAM Red AXS and Fulcrum Wind 57 wheels and 6.69 kg with SRAM Red AXS and Columbus Gara 50C.
Build options span Campagnolo Super Record WRL 13-speed, SRAM Red eTap AXS, and Shimano Dura-Ace/Ultegra/105 Di2, paired to Fulcrum Wind 57 wheels and Vittoria Rubino 28 mm tyres; the cockpit is the Columbus Components Spirit integrated bar. Pricing ranges from €6,000 (105 Di2) up to €10,700 for flagship electronic builds.
