Titici Relli Professional upgrades Italian carbon gravel race bike

And in the long run, it simply gave Titici a very good excuse to revisit the carbon gravel race bike they’d launched solely two years in the past. Their core idea of the engineered flex stays, each within the iconic Titici patented Plate Absorber Tech (PAT) ultra-thin toptube and the vibration-damping Arch Absorber Tech (AAT) curved seattube.
What’s new?
Concurrently redesigning the dropouts to suit a Common Derailleur Hanger (UDH), Titici additionally fully reshaped the rear finish of the Relli Professional. The brand new design drops the seatstays a bit additional down the seattube for extra rider consolation flex. They usually had been capable of get rid of any seatstay bridge, incrementally shedding weight off the body “with out compromising rigidity and stiffness”.
The brand new gravel bike additionally now drops its chainstays immediately from the underside bracket, transitioning again to the dropout in a straighter line. Along with carbon revisions within the AAT arch on the backside of the seattube, this new Relli Professional is now capable of be run with a double crankset. Titici engineers reworked the decrease seattube’s building so a detachable hanger will be bolted to the again of the arch to mount a entrance derailleur for gravel racers preferring the tight gear ratios of a 2x drivetrain.
A delicate bump up in tire clearance, too.
The Relli had initially maxed out at 42mm tires since most racers had been operating 40s. However now that extra mild and quick tires are creeping up even larger, the brand new Titici Relli Professional can formally match a max 45mm gravel tire, with room to spare.
