BIANCHI SPECIALISSIMA
For the most demanding amateurs and expert riders. Climb with venom.
WHY CAN'T LIGHT BE AERO?
The next-gen Specialissima says no to compromise, giving you the very best tool for mountains and steep gradients. The lightweight, aero-optimised frame and proprietary componentry ensure you can excel on the flat roads and technical descents that come before and after the climb.
PUSHING THE THRESHOLD
We call the tipping point where an allrounder can outperform an aero bike the threshold.
The data proves the next-gen Specialissima hits Threshold significantly sooner than the previous generation.
In comparison with the Oltre RC, and in the hands of a pro cyclist pushing 420w, the Specialissima RC becomes the best choice for climbing on gradients above 6.2%. This is due to the aerodynamic optimisation of the Specialissima, along with its excellent stiffness-to-weight, and low overall weight.
For a well-trained expert doing 300w, the Threshold is reached at 4.9. For a medium level amateur producing 250w, the Specialissima hits Threshold at 4.2%.
ENHANCED EXPERIENCE. EVERYWHERE.
In response to our WouldTour athletes' feedback, we wanted to make the Specialissima more efficient in the mountains. That meant upping the aero performance while preserving world-class stiffness-to-weight, so that at lower gradient inclines the aerodynamic benefits were preserved, while the ultra-light weight meant it could climb every well on steeper pitches.
When creating the geometry for the Specialissima we also took rider comfort into consideration, making it the perfect balancing addition to our elite racers' arsenal.
FOR MOUNTAIN COURSES
Its stiffness-to-weight enables the Specialissima to excel on climbs, while the redesigned aerodynamics ensure it can also support you to be faster on the flat valley roads and winding descents that come before and after.
