RB1K THE ONE brings Mario Cipollini's vision to a disc-brake road bike
The power and stiffness sought by Mario Cipollini are applied to a bicycle with a racing mood thanks to its race geometries. This feeling is further enhanced by the true monocoque frame, which allows the use of carbon fibre to continue throughout the different points of the frame. The high module T1000 carbon fibre and the larger rear triangle profile also bestow superior structural stiffness for direct power transfer to the ground. This aspect is also enhanced by the front axle and the steering tube, which makes it possible to reach exceptionally high standards of bending stiffness.
TCM, the Frame of a Genius
MCipollini’s real TCM monocoque frame eliminates many of the weaknesses of the other monocoque frames on the market, which are often built by fastening the rear triangle to the front of the frame using adhesive.. This treatment makes the frame structure more prone to deterioration in the long term, resulting in a decrease in performance. TCM's monocoque structure however tends to absorb the frame pressures more evenly and less impactful, promoting durability over the years.
Stronger, tougher, lighter: This is why the MCipollini frame is the Frame of a Genius.
How we build the TCM frame
The TCM frame created from a single mould, thanks to a long and complex machining process. The carbon elements are positioned and layered inside an aluminium mould to achieve the maximum result. This means that the lamination process produces a single piece that does not undergo any further structural processing or subsequent firing that could alter the frame structure.
Perfect fibers
The choice of the fibers used in the lamination, their certification and the autoclave construction technology bestow unique mechanical characteristics to the MCipollini frames. The materials used in the manufacturing process are pre-impregnated with epoxy matrix resins and undergo sequential checks to ensure that the resin content is uniform on all the various parts.
