King Zydeco II is Cinelli’s fastest and lightest gravel bike ever. Engineered for maximum speed on mixed terrains, it’s designed for UCI gravel racing, endurance competitions, fast adventure rides, and winter training.

Perfect For
• UCI gravel competitions
• Endurance races
• High-speed mixed-surface riding
• Winter training

Key Features
• 15% lighter than the previous generation
• Columbus Components cockpit and seatpost for minimal weight and maximum responsiveness
• Double Response layup for optimal vibration control and handling
• Full cable integration
• Optimized Fast Gravel geometry
• Premium Cinelli design details throughout

Weight Reduction
Combined with the integrated handlebar and seatpost, the King Zydeco II frame kit is 400 g lighter than the original.
• 273 g saved (size M) from cockpit + seatpost
• 92 g saved from frame shaping
• 6% reduced weight (frame + fork)
• 15% overall weight reduction for the full frame kit

Stiffness & Ride Quality
Despite the significant weight drop, stiffness remains exceptional, with a +5% increase in bottom bracket stiffness and a stiffer front end due to the more compact main triangle. The Double Response System maintains continuous fiber alignment in the seat node, dramatically improving comfort and control over rough terrain.

Columbus Components Technology
• Integrated Fast-Gravel handlebar (380 g, 420 × 100 mm)
• Proprietary Cinelli seatpost (215 g) with Columbus Components locking system
• 15° flare and ergonomic sprint-oriented drop

Geometry
Refined rather than reinvented, the geometry now includes a new XS size and improved stack/reach progression. The slightly extended wheelbase boosts stability and traction at high speed.
• Fast Gravel geometry
• Longer wheelbase
• Five sizes including XS

Design Details
Every detail reflects Cinelli’s meticulous design philosophy: clean modern lines, complete cable integration, custom top tube cover plate, precision paintwork, and a proprietary cockpit-seatpost system. The frame uses a modern UDH derailleur mount for maximum compatibility.

Graphic Concept
Available in two colourways:
• Bayou – inspired by vintage muscle car greens
• Orange Safari – a tribute to the bold stripes of historic rally cars
Both feature the Ghost-C, a stylized form derived from the outline of Cinelli’s iconic Winged-C.
