ALMSTHRE was created by three cyclists from San Diego, CA, whose relentless pursuit of endless adventures has always been in their blood. They seek to go further, explore more and connect deeply with nature, themselves and others. To feel alive, they believe that one should never stop exploring the unknown. They strive to get out of the comfort zone and always move forward. The art of doing is what motivates and inspires them, while passion is what fuels them. Therefore, when there is no end in sight, they keep pushing forward, because they are ALMSTHRE.
After the initial welcoming moment, the event got into full swing with a brief introduction dedicated to the long and solid collaboration between Beltrami TSA and Zipp. A historic bond, born right from the company's beginnings, when brothers Graziano and Marco Beltrami chose Zipp as one of the first brands to import into Italy.
The full program for the day was then presented, with an overview of the planned activities, designed to offer participants an immersive and in-depth experience in the world of Zipp.
In the second part of the morning, the Beltrami TSA team and the retailers present moved to Casina, a town crossed that very day by a stage of the Giro d'Italia. The welcoming restaurant Il Carrobbio hosted the participants in a reserved space, made available with great availability by the staff, where the exclusive preview of the new Zipp line took place.
The technical presentation was entrusted to Zipp Field Guides Daniele and Gabriele, who illustrated in detail all the new features of the 2026 range, focusing on both the aesthetic aspects and the technical innovations introduced in the new models.
The most interactive moment of the event was the direct confrontation between retailers and technicians, during which doubts, requests and curiosities were explored. A precious opportunity to provide operators with all the tools necessary to respond competently to the needs of an increasingly informed and demanding clientele.
At the end of the presentation, the participants were able to enjoy a pleasant convivial moment with a refreshment based on fried gnocco and typical cured meats, a prelude to lunch and the awaited passage of the Giro d'Italia stage. Even during the moment at the table, the spirit of sharing remained alive: retailers and members of the Beltrami TSA team spontaneously exchanged opinions, experiences and reflections on the market, products and new customer needs.
The relaxed and informal atmosphere fostered authentic dialogue, strengthening professional relationships and the sense of community that has always linked Beltrami TSA to its network of partners.
To crown the day, the exciting passage of the pink caravan provided a moment of spectacle and shared participation. At the end of the stage, the group returned to the headquarters of Beltrami TSA, closing an event marked by innovation, passion and collaboration.
The “ZIPP AHEAD 2025” event represented much more than a simple product preview: it was a moment of real connection between the company, partners and the territory. Days like these testify to Beltrami TSA's constant commitment to building solid and lasting relationships with its dealers, offering opportunities for technical updates but also for human and professional comparison.
The new Zipp line is part of a path of growth and innovation, in which every detail is designed to meet the needs of an increasingly advanced cycling. And Beltrami TSA is proud to be, once again, alongside its partners to pedal together towards the future.
