Effetto Mariposa (Switzerland)

In a sport where the difference between wins and losses are measured in fractions of a second, the gains necessary to achieve victory may be lost in the blink of an eye.

Founded by materials engineer, Alberto De Gioannini, it would only make sense that his pedigree for precision and passion toward cycling would result in the launch of a company committed to harnessing the power of the butterfly effect.

Effetto Mariposa is a name inspired by innovation and quality measured in microns. A hybrid of Italian and Spanish meaning butterfly effect, it symbolizes the notion that small things can make a big difference.

We make bicycle torque wrenches (Giustaforza family), accessories for tubeless tyres (Caffélatex family) or for sew-up tyres (Carogna family), visco-elastic protective films (Shelter family) and… much more. Everything is designed and developed for cycling purpose.
