Chainsmith Verdict
Bianchi is more than just a brand steeped in history—it’s a company that dares to reinvent itself while staying true to its racing DNA. Unlike many Italian manufacturers that rely solely on tradition and legacy, Bianchi has made a courageous shift in both design and identity, pushing past the classic organic frame shapes they were once known for.
Their latest innovations mark a new era in cycling technology. The Oltre RC defies conventional aero design with aggressive lines and groundbreaking aerodynamic integration, while the Specialissima sheds weight while maintaining the lively, responsive ride that has long defined Bianchi’s race machines. It’s a brand that could have rested on its laurels—yet instead, it has chosen to challenge the limits of performance cycling.
Riding a Bianchi is something special. There’s a distinctive energy in these frames—a kick that propels you forward, whether it’s the explosive acceleration of the Oltre, the endurance-driven comfort of the Infinito, or the raw versatility of their Impulso gravel range. Bianchi’s gravel bikes in particular are an exciting evolution, proving that adventure and performance can coexist, all while proudly retaining their iconic Celeste heritage.
At Chainsmith, we admire Bianchi’s relentless ambition. This is not just a brand revival—it’s a reinvention. And for Australian riders looking for a bike that offers both prestige and cutting-edge performance, Bianchi is ready to deliver.
