(For Italians, the name “Cinghialino” requires no explanation. However, for others, some background: Max Lelli’s nickname in the pro peloton was “Cinghialino.” This means “little wild boar,” which is an animal for which Max’s native Maremma – the southern part of Tuscany – is famous. Max’s combative style and fierce determination as a rider gave him this nickname, which he has now passed on to the bikes he so lovingly designs.)
Maximum combative performance, precision, and painstaking construction: Cinghialino bikes take the notion of bicycles as pieces of art to the extreme. They testify to the love and passion of the maker for the truly beautiful things of life. Everything moves and changes, nothing stays still: not even Maremma – the homeland of the “cinghialino” and of Max’s racing vocation. Once a professional racer of two wheels; now a professional entrepreneur of two wheels…everything moves and changes; nothing stays still: least of all Max Lelli.
