Their core idea of the engineered flex stays, each within the iconic Titici patented Plate Absorber Tech (PAT) ultra-thin toptube and the vibration-damping Arch Absorber Tech (AAT) curved seattube.
What’s new?
Similtaneously redesigning the dropouts to suit a Common Derailleur Hanger (UDH), Titici additionally fully reshaped the rear finish of the Relli Professional. The brand new design drops the seatstays a bit additional down the seattube for extra rider consolation flex. And so they had been capable of eradicate any seatstay bridge, incrementally shedding weight off the body “with out compromising rigidity and stiffness”.

Along with carbon revisions within the AAT arch on the backside of the seattube, this new Relli Professional is now capable of be run with a double crankset. Titici engineers reworked the decrease seattube’s development so a detachable hanger may be bolted to the again of the arch to mount a entrance derailleur for gravel racers preferring the tight gear ratios of a 2x drivetrain.
