Bianchi Aria Ultegra Disc Road Bike Bianco Italia Ltd Edition
This Bianchi Aria Ultegra Disc Road Bike has an exclusive Bianco Italia Ltd Edition design that celebrates the Giro d'Italia Virtual, a race born out of these unprecedented times. The frost white colourway, iridescent logo type and details and Italian Tricolore on the chainstay bring a striking aesthetic to this sleek bike.
Engineered to give you a distinct aerodynamic advantage, the Aria's streamlined shape is performance-proven in the wind tunnel and in real-world conditions. It's versatile enough for road racing, crits and gran fondos, or simply clip on some extensions and make it triathlon-ready too. Understanding that for aerodynamic efficiency both the bike's tubing shape and structure and the rider position need to be optimised, Bianchi has created an aggressive race-focused geometry that maximises power output and, importantly, is sustainable. The aero carbon seatpost also reduces drag for further wind-cheating benefits.
Shimano's Ultegra groupset takes care of shifting and braking duties. The combination of a mid-compact crankset and 11-30-tooth cassette ensures the gearing range for all parcours - short punchy climbs, long mountain ascents and descents, and fast flat TT courses. Moving up and down the cassette is smooth and precise, and when it comes to stopping, hydraulic discs offer power and modulation no matter the conditions. All cables are routed internally too, both for clean looks and improved longevity. The bike rolls on Fulcrum Racing 618 wheels and wider 28mm Vittoria Rubino IV clincher tyres, while crank length and finishing kit are frame size-specific so you can easily dial in the perfect fit.
