Very often ex-racers surf on their popularity to capitalize their image with their own brands, very often, the brand disapear after few years as the fame passes away.
Here, in a truly italian style, very charismatic racer, mix knowledge, design, local know how to create machine that really smells Race all over it.
For 2011, 2 models are proposed, the RB1000 and the RB800. The RB1000 is the top of the range with a very strong identity (weight 1050gr size 54cm), the RB800 have a more "normal" design (weight 970gr size 54cm).
Great video presenting the 2011 model launch.
The frame are real Carbon monocoque, that is rare, despite most manufacturer claiming "monocoque" frames, they are most of the time built with a front and rear triangle assembly.
Here, the frame is a real one piece, making it a very strong (read stiff) frame and staying very lightweight.
It is easy to see Mario's sprinter experience, the frame is simply massive where is it usually lacking stiffness; The rear drop out / seat stays, the BB connection, the front fork.
This bike is made for speed!
The superb RB1000. Frame truly Made in Italy using T1000 carbon fiber. Headtube is huge, it is oversized with a top diameter of 1 1/4" and the bottom 1 1/2".
