Cinelli (Italy) - Press Release: Semper means always: at all times, on all occasions. Semper is the everyday-24hours-12months-4seasons-machine.

Designed on purpose to meet nowadays' rider lifestyle needs, in through and outside the urban landscapes. 

B2W:

Amazing for bike to work with long distance commuting: Semper is a super capable road bicycle enriched with the accessories for urban everyday life - i.e. fenders / generous tyres and flat mount disc brakes, either in the summer sun, on the autumn foliage or in bad weather conditions, especially in the winter. Not to mention the beauty of its Blue Destiny colour in spring, amongst blossoms. Carrier ready for those who bring their work from one side to the other.

Travel:

Whether the rider style and the trip, Semper stands for the purest exercise of the free will: choosing passionately bikepacking to slip easily through any passage even on gravel terrain or adopting the panniers system, as best pleased: its rear stays are reinforced to be carrier ready. No problem, keep on ridin' in the free world.

Training:

The performance and versatility of Semper aluminium Columbus Airplane frame allows for winter workouts and for pushing the limits also beyond tarmac, on white roads. The choice for flat mount disc brakes with discs up to 160mm and thru-axle hubs guarantee the most effective braking and the safest handling even on wet descents.

We hooked up with our Team Cinelli athlete Paolo Bravini and asked him to ‘proof-ride’ Semper on typical road machines surroundings, up and down the Alps.

“It’s unbelievable how a bike designed to be the all seasons companion can perform perfectly on specific contexts and conditions. I am amazed by the handling on bents downhill, due to the Columbus disc fork alongside with the tapered head tube and the thru-axle”, was Bravini’s feedback after testing the Semper on Alta Badia's steep climbs and descents.
