Cinelli Aeroscoop SRAM AXS Custom Bike Info
Some brands make fast bikes. Cinelli makes fast bikes that look like nothing else on the road. The Cinelli Aeroscoop SRAM AXS Custom Bike is the result of wind-tunnel development and decades of Milanese design confidence meeting in a single platform — a UCI-approved road race machine built on Columbus T1100 carbon, wrapped in a personality that's been distinctly Cinelli since 1948.
The Aeroscoop is Cinelli's fastest road bike. That's not marketing language — it came out of a genuine wind-tunnel program, tuned to compete in the modern aero road era. Holding 45km/h takes 205 watts on this frame, a number Cinelli validated before putting it in production. The tube profiles are airfoil-inspired, the seat stay design is double-arm for both aerodynamic and structural reasons, and every detail from the hidden seat clamp to the fully internal cable routing exists because it contributes to that number.
Columbus T1100 Carbon
The frame is built from Columbus carbon monocoque T1100 — a high-performance carbon specification used across professional-level road racing. The layup has been modified specifically for the Aeroscoop to balance ride quality and structural reliability alongside its aerodynamic profile. The result is a frameset that weighs 950 grams in size M (Purple Fiber), with a fork at 370 grams uncut, while holding up to the demands of race riding and everyday training alike.
The fork is a full carbon monocoque unit running a 1-1/8-inch to 1-1/2-inch steerer with fully internal cable routing, keeping the front end visually clean and aerodynamically uncluttered. Flat mount disc brakes accept rotors up to 160mm, and the axle standard is 12x100mm front / 12x142mm rear — current, compatibility-friendly, and solid through technical descents.
Integrated Cockpit & Geometry
The Aeroscoop frameset includes a Columbus Spirit carbon integrated handlebar and a Columbus carbon seatpost — not afterthoughts, but components specified by Cinelli's team as the right fit for this bike's geometry and ride intent. The handlebar comes sized to the frame: 360mm wide for XS, 380mm for S and M, and 410mm for XL, keeping the cockpit proportional without requiring a separate purchase. The seatpost offers 0 or 10mm offset to accommodate different fit requirements.
Sizes run from XS (46cm) through XL (56cm) — five options covering a wide spread of riders. The headset is IS52/28.6–IS52/40 and is included. The seat clamp is hidden — another detail that keeps the silhouette clean.
T47 Bottom Bracket & Electronic-Only Routing
The BB shell is T47/86 threaded with ceramic bearings included. T47 is the modern threaded standard — the stiffness and durability advantages of a large-diameter shell with none of the press-fit noise and maintenance issues that have frustrated road cyclists for years. SRAM AXS DUB threading is compatible without adapters, making this frameset a natural partner for the SRAM wireless ecosystem at every tier.
Cable routing is fully internal and designed exclusively for electronic groupsets. This isn't a limitation — it's a commitment to the clean lines the Aeroscoop was designed around, and it means every build that leaves RA Cycles with this frame is wired to perform the way Cinelli intended.
34mm Tire Clearance & UDH
The Aeroscoop accepts tires up to 34mm wide as measured — wider than a traditional aero road bike, and a deliberate choice. You can run 28s for race day, 32s for a training ride on mixed roads, or push to 34 when the conditions call for it. The frame doesn't ask you to choose between aero intent and tire versatility. The UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) dropout is future-proof and compatible across the current SRAM AXS rear derailleur lineup, simplifying long-term maintenance and component changes.
SRAM AXS — Choosing Your Drivetrain
At RA Cycles, we build the Aeroscoop with SRAM AXS wireless shifting across three tiers. SRAM Red AXS E1 is the flagship — the groupset Cinelli specs on their own complete build, with the lightest components and the most refined shift feel in the SRAM road lineup. SRAM Force AXS brings the same wireless platform and nearly identical real-world performance to a more accessible price point. SRAM Rival AXS is the value entry into wireless road shifting without leaving the AXS ecosystem — the same rear derailleur mounting standard, the same app, the same wireless protocol.
All three tiers share the same AXS wireless shifting system and are compatible with the Aeroscoop's T47 BB and UDH hanger. Your consultant will work through the right tier and spec — including cassette range, rotor size, and crankset — based on how you ride and what you're building toward.
Building Your Aeroscoop at RA Cycles
Your Aeroscoop build starts with the frameset and gets configured from there. We authorize a hold on your card when you order — no charge is processed until your RA Cycles consultant confirms the build spec and component availability. Every bike goes through full professional assembly before it ships. Lead times vary by configuration; your consultant gives you a realistic window upfront.
If you want to talk through the build before committing — SRAM tier, wheel spec, tire width, saddle — reach out directly. The Aeroscoop is a well-defined platform and we know it well.
