About Alpitude

Alpitude makes carbon fibre parts by hand in the Italian Alps, in its own workshop in Vallarsa, Trentino. Everything happens under one roof, from the first prototype to shipping: the carbon is cut, laid up by hand, cured at high pressure in Alpitude's own moulds and finished in the same building, and every part is made individually.

The parts are named after the passes and peaks of the Alps. Tonale seatposts are made for one frame each and moulded around a silicone bladder, so the carbon is as smooth inside as it is outside. The Gardena road saddle is shell and rails in one piece at 69 g, and the Navene takes the same idea to gravel and cross-country racing. Gavia and Stelvio Corretto mounts hold a Garmin or Wahoo computer out in front of an integrated bar at about 15 g, the titanium Gavia is 3D printed in one piece, and the Superleggero cage weighs about 9.5 g. Manghen top caps and the Cornetto chain catcher finish the range.

FAQ

Which Tonale seatpost goes with my frame?
Each Tonale is made for one frame: Factor ONE 2026, Ostro VAM 2.0 and Elara; Colnago Y1Rs and V5Rs; Cervelo S5 and R5; Pinarello Dogma F; Specialized SL8, SL9 and Crux; and Specialized Shiv TT and Venge. Send the bike's make, model and year to support@dragonspinecycling.com to confirm post, offset and length before ordering.
Is there a rider weight limit?
Yes. The Gardena saddle is rated for riders up to 85 kg (187 lb) and the Navene up to 95 kg (209 lb). Tonale seatposts are rated for 95 or 100 kg (209 or 220 lb) depending on the frame, and each product page lists its limit.
Garmin or Wahoo?
Every Gavia and Stelvio Corretto mount comes with the head for the chosen computer, Garmin (Edge 1050 included) or Wahoo, plus titanium screws and a combo kit underneath for a light or a camera.
Which carbon finish should I choose?
UD is a smooth unidirectional finish, 3K twill and 1K show a fine woven pattern, and 6K spread tow has a wide checkerboard weave. The finish changes the look and a few grams, not the size, so pick the one that matches the bike.
How long does an Alpitude part take?
Alpitude makes parts in small batches in Italy. Ask about the part, size and finish, and Dragonspine Cycling confirms availability and timing before payment. Orders ship within the continental US.
Where are Alpitude parts made?
By hand in Alpitude's own workshop in Vallarsa, Trentino, in the Italian Alps, from cutting the carbon to the final finish.
