Cipollini NK1K Super Record – Lightning fast and comfortable
Top speed is in the genes of former sprint world champion and company founder Mario Cipollini: the NK1K bears his DNA, is lightning fast and suitable for long distances.
The monocoque carbon frame with 1-K finish is aerodynamically optimised, which can be seen at first glance on the saddle and front down tube, which tightly enclose the tyres as on a time trial bike. The aerodynamic seatpost with integrated seatpost clamp continues this design language.
While the head tube has been designed to be very stiff at the front, the seat stays have been kept slim and offer more damping at the rear. This means that even long distances on rough asphalt are well tolerated.
The geometry has also been optimised in terms of stack and reach in favour of a relaxed riding position.
The internal cable routing ensures a slim design and aerodynamic advantages.
A perfectly coordinated kit: tradition meets state-of-the-art technology, ”Made in Italy”.
Equipped with Campagnolo Super Record rim brakes, this version of the NK1K is Italian through and through: the flagship of Campagnolo gear systems, the Super Record EPS, is installed here in the electronic version. Campagnolo pioneered the introduction of 12-speed shifting on road bikes in the mechanical version, and the brand was also the first to follow with electronic shifting. With the refined, lightweight Super Record EPS, you get the best material and superior shifting performance. A lot of carbon and titanium has been used here, and the ergonomic shift levers fit very well in the hand, require very little effort and allow you to shift several gears at once. You get a finely tuned gear range and many adjustment and analysis options via the external interface, the “My Campy” app and your mobile phone. Bike computer. Twelve gears with a classic compact crank with 50 and 34 teeth on the front chainrings combined with a cassette with 11 to 32 teeth let you find the right gear in every situation.
The high-quality Campagnolo WTO carbon wheels with 45 millimetre high rims let you glide through the wind quickly and aerodynamically and round off the overall package technically and visually.
The result of intensive research
Mario Cipollini invests a lot of time and passion in research and development to continually create innovative and high-quality frame designs that are both aesthetically and emotionally appealing. His team at the headquarters in Verona consists of the best engineers in the industry.
This brand emphasises transparent production chains and Italian craftsmanship: the bikes are developed in Italy and are also largely produced there, with some steps being carried out by hand. Carbon lamination takes place at the Cipollini Bike Centre in Bosnia under the supervision of Italian experts. Cipollini tests the material together with professional teams, which the brand also partially sponsors.
The NK1K is UCI-compliant, but ambitious hobby riders with a preference for Italian design and speed will also enjoy this road bike.
You get a fast, aerodynamic bike with high steering precision, where great attention has also been paid to seat comfort. For all those who prefer a versatile long-distance racer to a pure time trial bike.
