Cinelli Zydeco - Shimano Cues 1x11 - Sage Rover

The Cinelli Zydeco is for those who want to keep going when the pavement ends, without the bike feeling heavy or slow on the way there. It is a fast Gravel bike with clear road bike traits, built for longer days on asphalt, fine gravel roads, and everyday cycling year-round.

The triple-butted frame in Columbus Zonal aluminum gives the Zydeco a direct and lively feel, while the Columbus Futura Gravel carbon fork keeps the front end light. The geometry is stable on gravel but still quick enough for those who appreciate speed and responsiveness rather than an upright and heavily loaded touring bike.

Shimano CUES 1x11 provides a simple drivetrain with a 40-tooth front chainring and a wide 11–50 cassette. This offers sufficiently light gears for longer climbs and riding with luggage, while hydraulic disc brakes with 160 mm rotors deliver consistent braking performance in both dry and wet conditions.

The Zydeco comes with 37 mm WTB Riddler tires and has room for tires up to 700 x 40 mm. The frame has multiple mounts for bottle cages, bags, fenders, and racks, so the bike can be further built out for bikepacking, longer trips, or daily commuting.

Choose the Zydeco if you’re looking for a Cinelli Gravel bike that prioritizes speed and riding pleasure, but still gives you the freedom to mount luggage and use the bike for more than just fast rides.
