Bianchi's New Specialissima: The Pinnacle of Lightweight Aero Cycling
Experience Unprecedented Performance: The Reimagined Specialissima
A New Era of Cycling Performance: Lighter, Faster, Smoother
Bianchi has proudly unveiled the next iteration of its renowned Specialissima road bike, positioning it as the lightest in the company's history. This flagship model also boasts significant aerodynamic enhancements and improved vibration-absorbing capabilities compared to its predecessor, marking a substantial leap forward in bicycle design.
Revolutionary Weight Reduction and Enhanced Aerodynamics
The updated Specialissima showcases an impressive reduction in weight, particularly with its top-tier RC (Reparto Corse) frameset, now weighing a mere 750g for a size 55, a 40g decrease. Bianchi emphasizes that this weight saving was achieved without compromising frame stiffness. Furthermore, the bike exhibits a 16-watt power efficiency improvement at 50 km/h, attributed to a redesigned fork that offers 17% greater aerodynamic efficiency, a 25% more aerodynamic integrated handlebar, and a new D-shaped carbon seatpost.
Advanced Vibration Cancellation with Countervail Technology
A key innovation in the new Specialissima is the enhanced Countervail (CV) technology, a proprietary composite material designed to minimize road vibrations. Bianchi has exclusively incorporated this US-supplied technology since 2013, which is also utilized in aerospace and automotive sectors. The updated CV formula promises superior vibration damping, ensuring maximum comfort and control during high-speed descents while maintaining the necessary rigidity for explosive sprints.
Diverse Model Range to Suit Every Rider
The new Specialissima series is available in three distinct configurations, catering to a wide range of cyclists. The top-tier Specialissima RC, designed for professional use by teams like Bahrain Victorious in challenging terrains, comes with high-end SRAM Red AXS and Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset options. The mid-range Specialissima Pro, featuring a slightly heavier frame, offers SRAM Force AXS and Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset choices. The entry-level Specialissima provides accessible performance with SRAM Rival AXS, Shimano Ultegra, and Shimano 105 Di2 groupset options, making cutting-edge technology available to a broader audience.
