Effetto Mariposa is a Swiss‑based cycling component and maintenance brand founded in 2007 by materials engineer and passionate cyclist Alberto De Gioannini. They embody the “butterfly effect” philosophy—believing small design improvements lead to meaningful performance gains.
Effetto Mariposa specialises in precision torque wrenches (Giustaforza range), tubeless systems (Caffélatex sealants, TyreInvader inserts), tubular gluing solutions (Carogna tape), viscoelastic frame protection films (Shelter), and clean‑running lubricants like FlowerPower Wax. Their product development is driven by real-world problems and incremental innovation, aiming to fix overlooked issues with elegantly engineered tools and fluids. We recommend Effetto Mariposa for cyclists who demand fine‑tuned, boutique maintenance solutions that support high-end drivetrains and tubeless setups. From race mechanics to home workshop users, their gear makes precision maintenance easier and more effective—letting riders focus on performance, not repairs.
