Model: YWB4S

Building on the legacy of the previous model, the new Specialissima represents a systematic approach to speed, where every component – from the frame to the handlebar – has been recalibrated to maximise performance whilst retaining Bianchi’s Form to Function design language.

The new Specialissima is a bike for professional and exigent riders who refuse to compromise, with the new model delivering a 16-watt improvement on its predecessor at 50km/h. The ultra-premium RC frame is 40 grams lighter than the previous version whilst maintaining the same level of stiffness, weighing in at just 750g (size 55).

• New aero fork: The revamped fork offers a 17% increase in aerodynamic efficiency
• Integrated Cockpit: New integrated aero handlebar, more ergonomic and aero-efficient
• Aero seatpost: The new D-shaped carbon seatpost further enhances the bike’s overall aerodynamic profile

True to Bianchi’s performance DNA, the new Specialissima ensures that speed does not come at the cost of control. All new Specialissima models integrate Countervail technology, featuring a new formula that provides higher vibration damping capabilities. This delivers maximum comfort and control during high-speed, technical descents whilst maintaining the necessary stiffness for explosive sprints and accelerations.

There are two performance levels, with the elite Reparto Corse RC 49R version taking straight pull spokes and the Bianchi B 49R version using j-bend spokes.

New RC 49R carbon wheels – engineered by Bianchi’s Reparto Corse – are being introduced on the Specialissima RC and Pro. They feature a 49mm profile and 25mm internal width, and have been optimised to complement the frame.

As well as greater comfort and lightness, the wheels boast gravel-ready durability (ASTM 2 standard). The RC spec also get a chopped carbon finish.

The new integrated handlebar is 25% more aerodynamic and features naturally convergent shifter levers for a more ergonomic and aero-efficient hand placement.
