Fondriest is the “racing”
brand which joined the group in 2006 and which contributed
to the sharp change in the company mentality taking
place in Cicli Esperia.
As a matter of fact, we are facing an important increase
in the strategic sensibility linked to production
and marketing of high- range bicycles. This allowed
the company to concentrate a part of its resources
in the development of high performance bicycles and
frames, dedicated to the most demanding 2-wheel professionals
and enthusiasts.
Maurizio Fondriest was born in Cles (Trento)
in the heart of the Val di Non on 15 January 1965.
During his 12 seasons as a professional cyclist, he
added a good 69 victories to his list of successes
on the road. The winner of the World Championships
at the young age of 23, he won the world cycling cup
in ‘91 and ’93, the mythical Milano-San
Remo in 1993, and collected countless successes during
his career both in traditional championships as well
as stages in the Giro d’Italia and the Tour
de France.
Today, as in the past, he continues to be a great
fan of this sport. Careful and meticulous about
the technical aspect of bicycles, his focus on the
seated position -in search of the “perfect”
geometry - is a legend.
After dedicating a professional career to sport,
he put his family first, but the life of a great
champion needs to carry on into the future and this
is why Maurizio now transfers all his advice and
experience to numerous up-and-coming young cyclists
through his extraordinary example.
Ever since he started putting his name on the first
frames, he realized that every single detail of
the bicycle would have to reflect his personality
and professionalism. Over the past years, he has
registered several patents because he has always
believed in R&D, and every new idea that comes
to life is a new challenge.
