Bianchi Specialissima CV Red eTAP 2019 Carbon Road Bike Black

Boasting a game-changing ultralight frame, razor sharp handling, iconic design and a true race feel, its no wonder Bianchi’s Specialissima is one of the most heralded bikes in the cycling world.

The Speciallissima is an undeniably handsome machine. The sleek flowing lines and rounded tubes are at odds with many of the aerodynamic machines on the roads today, and the hand painted finish serves only to emphasise this. However, the Specialissima isn’t just a pretty face; the spec is equally as impressive.

 The newly evolved Ultralight Countervail tech cancels out vibrations that would normally affect your performance. Instead, all your energy is focused into pedalling power. But this does not take away from the raw feel you get from the Specialissima; a stiff carbon frame means you can feel the road and gives a real sense of pace, with the added bonus of being immense on the climbs.

Electronic shifting may seem unnecessary to some, but none of those have tried them. SRAM’s ethos when designing the eTAP was that a bicycle is meant to be simple, and anything that clutters the experience is not advancement. Enter the SRAM Red eTAP; wireless, clutter free with race-car inspired shifting pedals, gear changing has never been so elegant.  

Combine this with an aggressive race geometry for an aerodynamic riding position, and you’ve got yourself a truly beautiful speed machine.
