Bianchi Aria E-Road Ultegra Disc Electric Road Bike 2022
The Bianchi Aria E-Road Ultegra Disc Electric Road Bike offers smooth and powerful pedalling assistance and heightened efficiency to demanding riders who like to ride at the quickest speeds. The full carbon frameset is light and responsive and has sculpted tube sections to markedly lower aerodynamic drag. The frame conceals a long-lasting 36V battery entirely within its downtube to ensure undisturbed aesthetics. This battery links to the Mahle Ebikemotion X35 rear hub motor that pumps out up to 250 watts of power to help the rider when the parcours is at its most challenging. The motor system has three different levels that can be easily controlled by the top tube integrated iWoc ONE button. When the battery is flat, it can be recharged in just four hours via the neat downtube charging port.
Race-inspired geometry places the rider in a powerful but comfortable position, and robust but lightweight alloy wheels promote a rugged but lively performance across even the roughest road surfaces. A Shimano Ultegra R8000 11-speed gear configuration shifts crisply amongst a broad set of sprockets. Hydraulic disc brakes complete the build, offering confidence-inspiring stopping power and control in all weather conditions.
