A new lighter Titici Relli Pro carbon gravel bike further refines the Italian framebuilder’s unique engineered flex, while adding more versatile compatibility with all of the latest gravel racing drivetrain options. With the advent of SRAM developing direct-mount gravel race Transmission setups in addition to the mullet MTB adventure gravel drivetrains, Titici decided to add more than a UDH to their carbon gravel race bike…

It started with a project to update the Relli for UDH compatibility, together in collaboration with feedback from Titici’s Sartoria Ciclistica gravel team. And in the end, it just gave Titici a good excuse to revisit the carbon gravel race bike they’d introduced only two years ago. Their core concept of the engineered flex remains, both in the iconic Titici patented Plate Absorber Tech (PAT) ultra-thin toptube and the vibration-damping Arch Absorber Tech (AAT) curved seattube.

What’s new?

At the same time as redesigning the dropouts to fit a Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH), Titici also completely reshaped the rear end of the Relli Pro. The new design drops the seatstays a bit further down the seattube for more rider comfort flex. And they were able to eliminate any seatstay bridge, incrementally shedding weight off the frame “without compromising rigidity and stiffness”.

The new gravel bike also now drops its chainstays directly from the bottom bracket, transitioning back to the dropout in a straighter line. Together with carbon revisions in the AAT arch at the bottom of the seattube, this new Relli Pro is now able to be run with a double crankset. Titici engineers reworked the lower seattube’s construction so a removable hanger can be bolted to the back of the arch to mount a front derailleur for gravel racers who prefer the tight gear ratios of a 2x drivetrain.

A subtle bump up in tire clearance, too.

The Relli had originally maxed out at 42mm tires since most racers were running 40s. But now that more light and fast tires are creeping up even bigger, the new Titici Relli Pro can officially fit a max 45mm gravel tire, with room to spare.

Is that an Ergon seatpost, or is Titici or another company doing their own take on the dual beam design? Just that Ergon post alone dramatically outweighs the travel/plushness of most traditional frames (even the ones designed to offer some compliance), so I can only imagine how it would be on this bike.

It appears that this seatpost isn’t 2 piece like the Ergon/ Canyon seatpost, but rathers looks split only near the top.
I used a Canyon seatpost on my now stolen gravel bike, worked great.

It’s not split. It’s reflection of light. I think this is a regular 27.2 Deda seatpost.

Noticed this detail, or lack thereof as well.

Enormous clearance to seat tube. Practically nothing at chainstays. 45mm isn’t enough …

Seems 45mm is consistent with many other leading brands of gravel bikes. Have you considered a mountain bike as an option for more tire clearance?

Yes, definitely don’t make what your customers are tying to give you money for.

It’s definitely poor decision making to produce a new gravel bike without at least clearance for 50s. National champs was just won on 44s and that was considered very skinny. Only worked on a very dry course with very smooth surface. You want at least 50s so if you get into serious mud, you’ve got clearance to keep going instead of stranded. Bike designers – go wider and let your customers be able to choose if they want to ride narrow or wide and you’ll have way more customers.

The moulds for this bike may have been cut a year ago, as we know fashion in cycling changes pretty quickly, so I wouldn’t call it poor decision making. That’s your take, but there are lots of other customers out there.

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but customers aren’t exactly flocking in to buy new bikes right now. And just because your use case doesn’t involve 50c tires, it doesn’t mean it isn’t valid.

I get what you’re saying, but how does going wider on your tires get you more mud clearance? More tire volume yes, but less mud clearance. Any gravel racer I know goes smaller in tire volume to create more room for mud clearance.

As someone who is happily and deliberately only riding nineties mountain bikes (in several setups, like my gravel-ish main bike), and has no desire in owning or buying a modern bike, I must say I really like this one. The lines and proportions look great, and the paint job is awesome!

There must be an error in the features. There’s no way it has a full 1.5″ steer tube. No one makes a 1.5″ stem for road use. I think it’s probably a 1.5″ IS52 head tube with 1.5″ bearings and a 1 1/8″ wedge/adapter up top, for what appears to be FSA’s ACR internal routing system.
