Bianchi Specialissima
Next Generation Ultralight Road Bike
The Bianchi Specialissima is a true ultralight road bike, but its design goes beyond simply excelling on climbs. Bianchi also prioritised performance on the roads riders encounter before and after the ascents. The latest Specialissima is built to shine on long flat valley stretches, adrenaline-fueled descents, and, of course, steep climbs, where its ultra-light and responsive nature truly stands out. To achieve this versatility, the frame and components have been re-engineered for aerodynamic optimisation.
The result is a bike that surpasses its predecessor in both aerodynamics and climbing performance. Bianchi is justifiably proud of the new Specialissima—a next-generation all-rounder without compromise.Why can’t lightweight be aerodynamic? This was the question that drove Bianchi to reimagine the Specialissima. The result is a bike that combines increased aero efficiency on low-gradient inclines with outstanding reactivity and a remarkably low weight—starting at just 6.6kg for a medium-sized build. It equips riders with more tools in their arsenal, offering greater versatility for tackling any parcours. In fact, the Specialissima redefines the concept of an “all-rounder,” delivering performance without compromise.
