Bianchi Aria Ultegra Disc Road Bike 2021
Drawing its name from the Italian word for air, the Bianchi Aria Ultegra Disc Road Bike is designed to enhance your riding with its aero-optimised frameset. Born in the wind tunnel and designed in conjunction with Bianchi’s top athletes, great thought has gone into optimising each tube shape for streamlined aerodynamic performance. The stiff, performance-orientated frame is surprisingly versatile, offering impeccable performance whether racing Gran Fondos, time trials, and everything in-between.
Aimed at riders looking to push the limits of speed, the geometry offers a full-aero position to reduce drag. Although advanced, the geometry is comfortable and balanced, lending itself to all-day riding as much as shorter efforts. A deep-section Fulcrum 818 disc wheelset further highlights this bikes speedy intentions, and Shimano R8070 hydraulic disc brakes offer powerful stopping power for total confidence on the descents.
Shimano’s benchmark Ultegra 11-speed groupset sees slick shifting performance, with an 11-30t cassette offering performance on a range of gradients. The Bianchi carbon aero seatpost adds an integrated aesthetic, with an adjustable head clamp for 25mm or -10mm offset. Vittoria Rubino G2.0 Graphene tyres are fast-rolling and compliant thanks to their 28mm width, helping to smooth out less than ideal road surfaces.
