Cinelli Zydeco Washboard Sport - Rocky Sand

The Cinelli Zydeco Washboard Sport is a fast, playful gravel bike for riders who want more speed and responsiveness than a classic touring bike, but still need a bike that works for everyday riding, gravel roads, and lighter bikepacking trips. 

The triple-butted Columbus 6061 T6 aluminum frame is paired with a Columbus Cross+ carbon fork with adjustable rake. WTB Riddler 700x45c tires offer good volume and control on rougher surfaces, while the bike retains the direct feel that has made the Zydeco one of Cinelli’s most popular gravel platforms.

Shimano CUES 1x11 with a 40T chainring and an 11–50T cassette offers a wide gear range for asphalt, gravel, and steeper climbs. Hydraulic Shimano CUES disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, and the tubeless-ready wheels with a 25 mm internal width are well suited to modern gravel tires.

With a UDH derailleur hanger and mounts for three bottle cages, a top tube bag, Anything Cages, a rack, and fenders, the Zydeco Washboard Sport is easy to adapt to how you actually ride. Choose it if you’re looking for a fast gravel bike with modern features, plenty of practical options, and a distinct Cinelli character.
