Our verdict

Good to know

  • Fit

    Geometry is from Ceepo's Mamba-R chart, which titles the bike 'aero all road'. The chart lists a 955 mm wheelbase for size L, shorter than size M (975.8 mm); it is left out here as a likely error. Seat tube angles in the chart don't fall steadily with size (76, 75, 75.7, 74.6, 74°) and are kept as published.

  • Integration

    Shift wires and hoses are routed from the stem into the head tube; Ceepo supplies grommets for Shimano Di2, SRAM eTap (blank), mechanical cables and the rear brake exit, plus a Di2 battery adaptor.

  • Racing

    Ceepo highlights the Mamba-R's use by Team BIKE AID, including stage wins and Anton Schiffer's win at the 2024 German uphill national championship.

  • History

    The disc-brake Mamba-R was added to the UCI list of approved framesets on 16 July 2018.
