Description
Cinelli King Zydeco II Apex AXS Carbon Gravel Bike
The Cinelli King Zydeco II Apex AXS Gravel Bike represents the pinnacle of modern gravel engineering, blending a featherweight carbon frame with the seamless precision of wireless shifting. Designed for riders who demand agility without sacrificing durability, this bike is 15% lighter than its predecessor, ensuring you can tackle steep ascents and technical trails with ease. By integrating the innovative SRAM Apex XPLR AXS 12-speed groupset, Cinelli offers a clean, cable-free cockpit and intuitive performance that thrives in the unpredictable conditions of British off-road cycling.
Revolutionary Frame Weight and Response
The foundation of this machine is the COLUMBUS Carbon Monocoque frame, weighing in at a remarkable 1000g. This weight reduction, achieved through advanced material engineering, transforms your climbing ability and general bike handling. Cinelli’s unique Double Response layup system works in harmony with the carbon structure to provide a stiff platform for power transfer while remaining flexible enough to soak up trail chatter. This ensures that every ounce of energy you spend moves you forward, making long days in the saddle feel shorter and more rewarding.
Seamless Wireless Shifting and Advanced Integration
One of the standout features of the Apex build is the SRAM Apex XPLR AXS electronic drivetrain, which removes traditional shift cables for a clutter-free aesthetic and incredibly reliable gear changes in any weather. The full internal cable routing further protects the hydraulic brake lines from the elements, reducing maintenance and streamlining the silhouette of the bike. This integration, paired with the FSA ACR stem and COLUMBUS Futura Cross fork, creates a cockpit that is as aerodynamic as it is visually striking, allowing you to flick the bike through technical descents with absolute confidence.
Versatile Geometry and Professional Specification
Whether navigating narrow singletrack or cruising fire roads, the geometry of the King Zydeco II is fine-tuned for precision and stability. With a generous tyre clearance of 700x45c, you have the freedom to customise your ride for maximum grip, though the included Mavic Allroad1 Disc wheelset and G-One Allround tyres provide a fantastic baseline for speed across mixed surfaces. From the ergonomic San Marco Monza saddle to the SRAM Apex hydraulic disc brakes, every component is selected to ensure you can explore further and faster with total electronic confidence.
