Cinelli King Zydeco II Sage Green Gravel Frameset with Adjustable Fork Rake

Experience the exceptional blend of performance, durability, and versatility with the Cinelli King Zydeco II Sage Green Frameset, expertly engineered for gravel riders and adventure cyclists. Constructed from premium COLUMBUS Carbon Monocoque, this frameset delivers a lightweight yet robust foundation that excels across diverse terrains. Its distinctive sage green finish is complemented by a Kevlar shield on the downtube, providing reliable protection against abrasions and ensuring the frame maintains its pristine appearance over time. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of endurance and gravel racing, this frameset offers an optimal balance of speed and resilience.

Featuring a racing geometry tailored for efficient power transfer, the King Zydeco II incorporates Cinelli’s innovative dual response system. This technology strategically stiffens the lower frame to maximise pedalling efficiency while preserving suppleness in the upper section, resulting in enhanced comfort during long rides and challenging off-road conditions. The frameset supports tyre sizes up to 700c x 47c or 27.5 x 2.1, providing ample clearance for superior traction and stability on rough surfaces. Additionally, the adjustable fork rake allows riders to customise handling characteristics to suit varying terrains and riding styles, making it a highly adaptable choice for serious cyclists.

Completing this high-performance package are features such as internal Di2/EPS cable routing for a clean, aerodynamic setup, flat mount disc brake compatibility for reliable stopping power, and the inclusion of a headset for streamlined assembly. Whether you are engaging in long-distance gravel racing, bikepacking, or mixed-terrain exploration, the King Zydeco II stands out as a versatile and dependable option within the Bikes category.
