Cinelli Speciale Corsa XCR 2026 — Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 12s | DT Swiss ARC

Some bikes are chosen to go fast. The Speciale Corsa XCR goes further: a tribute to Il Grande Ciclismo, a bridge between eras 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 build: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 12-speed | DT Swiss ARC

This build pairs the Speciale Corsa XCR frame with Shimano's flagship Dura-Ace Di2 groupset at 12 speeds, matched to DT Swiss ARC wheels — the electronic drivetrain of choice at professional racing level, here brought together with a stainless steel frame that blends responsiveness and comfort in a way carbon simply doesn't replicate. Instant, precise shifting, repeatable race after race.
