Controvento
Steel, redefined. Reactivity you don't expect.
Philosophy & Vision
Riding against the wind is a choice of character.
Born in our Atelier in Grosseto, Controvento blends the nobility of Columbus steel with high-performance racing geometry. It's not just a bicycle: it's a way of living the road and the gravel without compromise.
Philosophy & Frame
One model, a new direction.
Controvento was born from a precise need: to push steel beyond its historical limits and create a frame with a strong racing vocation, reactive and rideable on any surface.
Geometry focus
Gravel
Stable, balanced geometry with generous tyre clearance up to 50mm to master the gravel.
All-Road
A snappy, reactive setup for a fluid, fast transition from tarmac to white roads.
Technical detailLowered, compact rear end with full Columbus ICS tubing, designed for maximum torsional stiffness.

Craft & Colour
Hand-welded in Grosseto.
Every Controvento frame is a one-off, made by hand. The steel tubes are joined with high-precision TIG welding and finished with signature paintwork done in our workshop.
Standard finishes
Argentario
A deep, iridescent blue with metallic reflections, inspired by the shades of the Tuscan coast.
Impanga
A tense red, marbled with orange, alive and restless like the lands of the metalliferous Maremma.
