Origin
The King Zydeco is Cinelli's premium carbon gravel bike, sitting above the alloy Zydeco. The first generation made headlines with a 1000 g carbon frame, an adjustable dual-rake fork and clearance for up to a 2.1" tire. The King Zydeco II refined it into a fast, race-leaning gravel platform with 700x45c clearance and a press-fit carbon construction — and earned praise as a great-value all-rounder.
