Prologue Ciociaro 2026
In a world awash with “20 % faster” marketing claims, the Ciociaro cuts through the noise. We’ve dialed in real aerodynamics—tested at multiple yaw angles—and wrapped it all in an ultralight Toray T1000 carbon layup that prioritizes rider comfort over gimmicks. After all, the hardest rider to catch is the one who still has legs at the finish.

Features:

• Material & Layup
  Toray T1000 Japanese carbon fiber with a custom comfort-first schedule—stiff enough for efficient power transfer, yet engineered to damp high-frequency road vibration that most “aero” frames ignore.

• Tire Clearance

  The 2026 Ciociaro keeps its predecessor’s aero shape but adds clearance for up to 32cm. This will allow you to find the speed-comfort balance you thrive at.

• True Aero at Yaw
  Tube profiles shaped not just for zero-degree head-on drag, but for real-world crosswind (10°–20° yaw) performance. You stay tucked and fast in any wind direction.

• Rider-Centric Comfort
  Internal beam structures and tailored ply orientations increase vertical compliance. You’ll corner and sprint without your back begging for mercy 30 km later.

• Heritage & Passion
  Named for Windsor’s Ciociaro Club—where our founder first watched criterium racing at age 12—built today to honor that same spirit of pure, no-nonsense competition.
