Some bikes are chosen to go fast. Others are chosen for what they represent while you're going fast. The Cinelli Speciale Corsa XCR belongs to the second group — more than a frame, it's a bridge between eras of cycling, where timeless Italian design meets one of the most advanced tubing technologies ever built, redefining what it means to ride fast, smooth, and genuinely beautiful.

Columbus XCR: The Heart of Performance

The frame is built from Columbus XCR tubing — the world's only seamless stainless steel tubeset engineered for elite cycling. The result is exceptional torsional stiffness, fatigue resistance well beyond typical steel, and complete corrosion immunity — a frame built to last a lifetime, with that distinctive steel responsiveness that never sacrifices comfort.

100% Made in Italy Craftsmanship

Handmade in Milan, the Speciale Corsa XCR represents one of the shortest, most refined supply chains in premium road cycling: 3D-printed components, fully integrated cable routing, a design that carries Italian cycling heritage forward rather than just referencing it.

The complete build

This particular build runs a Campagnolo Super Record WRL 2x13s groupset — Campagnolo's most refined wireless drivetrain — paired with DT Swiss ARC wheels, a combination built for riders who won't compromise on shift precision or race-day aerodynamics.
