Air scoops and cockpit vents redirect air flow to minimize drag on Bianchi's new flagship road racing bike, plus new wheels & saddle, too!
The all-new Bianchi Oltre RC is their first “hyperbike” and gets unique, patent-pending vents on the headtube to redirect air to low-pressure zones. Those, plus a fully integrated one-piece handlebar and stem and new Reparto Corse aero wheels offer a 45-second savings over 40k at 250watts output.
The scoops below it direct the air around the head tube, smoothing flow into the low-pressure zone directly behind it. The combined goal appears to be to reduce turbulence and low-pressure zones that cause drag. And, they say it helps even in crosswinds, improving CDA by 5.1% compared to the Oltre XR4.
These join a new 165g Reparto Corse saddle with carbon fiber shell and 3D-printed padding as a reboot of their in-house, top-end component effort. Together with the cockpit, this is the most Bianchi’d bike Bianchi has ever made.A specific RC-level fork adorns the top model, but all levels get small aero touches on the lower legs.
Designed as a pro-level racing bike, a complete Bianchi Oltre RC weighs in at a claimed 6.85kg in size 55, as shown here. The frame is only compatible with electronic drivetrains, and complete bikes are available with SRAM Red AXS, Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, and Campagnolo Super Record EPS…all with power meters. Prices from €13,749 to €14,999.
