Coming in six sizes with a claimed frame weight of 1,120g, the Cento 1 Air smooths air flow near the fork crown with a lowered down tube. Much like the Twin Blade, the Cento 1 Air also has seat stays that sit low and wide on the seat tube.
The Cento 1 Air is the fifth iteration of the Cento design, which uses the BB386 standard Wilier developed with FSA, plus cockpit components also created with FSA.
Frameset price on the Cento 1 Air is $3,999/€2,899 (UK pricing TBD), and the bike comes in various build configurations.
