Bicycling Magazine Reviews Cento1 Superleggera

On newsstands now, Bicycling Magazine's Tour de France issue with review of our Cento1 Superleggera

Online review here:

Excerpt:

"We swapped the Fulcrum Racing Zero wheelset for more supple Zipp 202s, reducing the size-medium bike's weight to 13.75 pounds, and found that the Superleggera didn't just retain the original Cento Uno's electric ride feel, but may have surpassed it. Despite the ethereally light weight, which made climbing a joy and enhanced the bike's power-now demeanor in sprints, the Superleggera was never nervous. All this, and it's still comfortable enough for all-day riding. Pretty super." --Loren Mooney
