The best sprinter of his generation creates the bike he dreamed of riding.
"Super Mario" Cipollini's speed on a bicycle was unrivalled across decades. Brash, colorful and completely dominant, 'Cipo' was a world champion boasting over 50 Giro d'Italia and Tour de France stage wins. Cipollini brings you RB1K The One, the bike that Mario Cipollini himself wished he could have raced.

Conceptualised in Verona, engineered in Milan, frame moulding in Venice, carbon layup in Florence, painted in Pisa. The Italian approach to production shines through in RB1K The One as it does in any Italian Supercar. An artisanal workshop, supported by a top technological team, Cipollini bikes utilise some of the same craftsmen that produce components for renowned racing brands such as Ducati and McLaren.

RB1K The One is laid-up in a single mould from rear dropout to head tube, making it totally different to anything on the market. No glued or bonded joints. No interruptions to the form of the bicycle. The result is a single unified frame that is stiffer, lighter and travels exactly where you point it.
A no holds barred race bike, The One is unashamedly aggressive. The riding position and stiffness make it extremely responsive and a great sprinter, while the low weight makes it equally as suitable for long climbs. A raised headtube with aerodynamic cover also allows a more comfortable position to be set up for longer rides.
The One has been designed with a 120g weight reduction and 20% increase in stiffness from its predecessor. The unique monocoque construction also offers handling like no other, slicing through corners, acting like an extension of the rider themselves.

The beautiful lines and shapes are not only eye-catching, they also serve as the sculptural basis for the high tech race machine. All bikes feature their own RB1K 3D badge of honour across the rear.
