At a time when manufacturers are pouring resources into aerodynamic-frame
technology, the Specialissima feels more capriccioso than precipitando2
On flats it is animato, it
tackles hills con bravura e brio
and is most definitely molto leggiero.
When I took it on some rough gravel, I expected it to feel skittish;
instead it was placido, soave, e molto risoluto.
And for a bike designed to go up, it shines most unexpectedly on descents,
where it is molto vivace, e non troppo impetuoso ma spiritoso e molto
veloce7.
