Bianchi Impulso RC Gravel Bike
Introducing the Impulso family, Bianchi offers a compelling solution for gravel riding enthusiasts seeking speed and versatility across diverse terrains. Leveraging aerodynamic advancements from the development of the Oltre RC and the Specialissima, the Impulso frame platform stands out for its aerodynamic gains. Integrated with the head tube, the fork complements the specifically designed aerodynamic RC wheelset, positioning the Impulso as one of the most aerodynamic gravel bikes in its category.
The meticulous work of Reparto Corse is evident in the enhanced cockpit of the new Impulso RC, delivering improved stiffness for advanced control. The 16° flare on the handlebar enhances rider control on technical downhill sections, while its lightweight carbon fiber composition reduces the handlebar's weight to just 340g. In line with Bianchi's commitment to comprehensive performance, the components are a focal point. The Impulso RC boasts a pair of RC43 wheels with a 43mm profile and 25mm inner channel, featuring a 3K carbon finish, akin to the top models in the road range. These components contribute to the overall system performance, elevating the Impulso RC to a pinnacle of aerodynamics and control in the realm of gravel riding.
