Pegoretti Elio Road Bike

Shown with Ciavete artwork

Elio, named after the first child of Pegoretti artisan Leonardo, is a high-performance road bike in the finest Italian tradition. Its arrival heralds a reinterpretation of the Pegoretti design language - internal cabling, yes, but also a long study in harmony and balance. We’ve had the bike in development for several months. Iterations came slowly. Momentum was lost, reversed and driven forward by degrees as we wrestled with tubing profiles, tapering and innumerable feelings and sensations that signalled the emergence of Elio’s final design.

Pegoretti’s Pietro says that when you use your hands to work steel, you feel a sense of balance in every meaning of the word, a sensation you’ll notice from the first turn of the cranks. Elio really goes. 

With a slightly lower centre of gravity than other Pegoretti models, Elio rides with a close connection to the road. Turning in tempts you to take the next corner deeper. And you can, faster than you think. Which might coax you to a sprint, speed that surfaces surprise and the desire to do the whole ride again. 

Elio’s tyre clearance runs up to 32mm for an unapologetically pure road experience. Disc brakes, UDH compliance and electronic-exclusive groupset compatibility further signal its intentions.

Throughout the frame, there are some sizing subtleties that may not be immediately apparent. For example, Elio’s top tube tapers from 35mm, where it meets the head tube, to 31.7mm at the seat tube. The down tube is the biggest yet on a Pegoretti, up from 39mm to 42mm. And the head tube measures 56mm to accommodate internal routing, a first on a Pegoretti. Up front, the carbon fibre fork runs straight, aero-forward and stiff when it matters. It’s clean and rides with precision.

Options for Elio are myriad. Standard and custom geometries, Ciavete, solid colours or Pegoretti geometric designs are all on the table. There are multiple cockpit solutions, whether you come direct, if applicable, or through a dealer in your local territory - a Chris King headset and Enve cockpit pairing, an all-Deda or Columbus setup, or, for the tinkerers, any stem with a 25mm internal diameter and their choice of internal routing-compliant bar.

Elio is now building.
