The aerovolution

To create an aero bike that controls airflow, Bianchi borrowed ideas from innovative technology sectors, including automotive, aerospace and architecture. The goal is to lead the air to very specific areas of the frame, ensuring airflow is as close to the surfaces of the bike and rider as possible. The far-thinking design is enhanced by a judicious balance of paint and exposed carbon, creating a fearsome racing aesthetic that never for a second compromises on the overall weight of the Oltre.

Details of the Bianchi OLTRE RC

Aero cockpit | The proprietary design of the cockpit reduces drag. It does this with integration of the handlebar and stem, and strategically-placed Aero Profiles along the top of the bar. These Aero Profiles are placed to reflect the flow of air over your bars, and offer an additional marginal aerodynamic gain. The cavity in the centre generates a vortex behind it that reduces the air pressure and resistance hitting the athlete’s legs, so less power is needed to create more speed.

Air Deflector technology | A Bianchi technology exclusive to the world, The Air Deflector (Patent Pending) simultaneously reduces the drag against the frame and amplifies the work done by the handlebar by protecting the low pressure area it creates for the legs.

Each movement refined | Each detail of the Oltre is considered, analysed and refined, amplifying the efficiency and power of every pedal stroke. From the down tube to the seat post to the dropouts, every marginal gain has been harnessed.

Reparto Corse saddle | All-new Bianchi-made components, an historic first for the brand. The product of Reparto Corse’s tireless innovation, its impassioned pursuit of excellence in speed. The RC139 Carbon Air is an elite-level racing saddle with a carbon shell and padding constructed using cutting-edge 3D technology.
