BianchiAria
Algupära
Aria tuli turule 2017. aastal kui Bianchi keskklassi aerodünaamiline maanteeratas, mis loodi selleks, et tuua tuuletunnelist saadud aerodünaamilised eelised lipulaeva Oltre hinnapunktist allapoole. Välja töötatud Bianchi sponsoreeritud profisõitjate panusega ja täiustatud tuuletunnelis, on ketasspetsiifilisel süsinikraamil tunnuslik aero-maantee siluett - lame ülemine toru, mis kitseneb taha, teraga alumine toru, aero istmetoru koos tagaratta väljalõikega. Kriitiliselt ja disaini poolest jätab Aria välja Countervail viskoelastse süsiniku, mida leidub Oltre ja Specialissima seeriates, mis on üks suurim põhjus selle madalama hinna taga; arvustajad tõstavad seda järjekindlalt esile kui peamist mugavuse kompromissi võrreldes lipulaevadega. Piisavalt mitmekülgne maanteesõitudeks ja triatloniks, eemaldati Aria Bianchi peamisest maanteeratade valikust 2024-2026 kataloogi konsolideerimise raames, asendades selle funktsionaalselt süsinikust Sprintiga.
Tehnilised andmed
- Raam
- Full carbon monocoque, aero road geometry (flat-top top tube, bladed dropped down tube, aero seat tube with rear-wheel cutout). PressFit 86.5×41mm BB, 1 1/8"–1 1/4" tapered head tube, fully internal cable routing. Claimed frame weight ~1100g (±5%, 55cm). No Countervail damping (unlike Oltre/Specialissima).
- Kahvel
- Bianchi Full Carbon Aero, integrated/aero crown, no suspension (rigid). Claimed weight ~370g.
- Jõuülekanne
- Build-dependent 11-speed: rim-brake builds came with Shimano 105 (52/36, 11-28) or Campagnolo Centaur (50/34, 11-29). 2×11.
- Pidurid
- Rim brakes on early builds (Shimano 105 dual-pivot / Campagnolo Centaur dual-pivot); a disc-brake frame version was also offered. Build-dependent.
- Rattad
- Vision Team 35 Comp (35mm aluminium rims) on stock builds; reviewers note these are a durability-first OE choice ripe for upgrade.
- Rehvid
- 700×25c: Vittoria Rubino (105 build, measured ~26mm) or Vittoria Zaffiro Pro (Centaur build).
- Vedrustus
- Rigid (no suspension) — road race frame.
- Rooliplokk
- Reparto Corse Aero Compact 6061 alloy handlebar (31.8mm), Reparto Corse 6061 alloy stem (±7° adjustable), Bianchi Aria Full Carbon Aero seatpost (20mm offset).
- Sadul
- Build-dependent: Selle Royal Seta SL (105) or Selle San Marco (Centaur).
- Geomeetria
- Race aero geometry. 55cm: 73.5° seat angle, 72.5° head angle, 407mm chainstays, 988mm wheelbase. 57cm: stack 557mm / reach 395mm. 8 sizes (44–61). Punchy, stiff, manoeuvrable; firmer than Countervail Bianchis.
- Kaal
- ~8.23–8.25 kg (complete bike, 55–57cm rim-brake build)
Verdikt
- Punchy, fast-reacting acceleration and stiff power transfer through the centre of the frame
- Highly manoeuvrable, composed and stable handling — easy to change lines in a group
- Wind-tunnel-developed aero frame brings flagship Oltre-style aero looks at a mid-tier price
- Full internal cable routing and clean aero silhouette; well-finished frameset
- Surprisingly good comfort and stopping power for the price (San Marco/Centaur build praised)
- No Countervail damping (unlike Oltre/Specialissima) — ride is firmer, 'solid and sturdy rather than soft and yielding'
- Stock Vision Team 35 wheels are durability-first and hold back aero performance — serious racing demands a wheel upgrade
- OE Vittoria Zaffiro/Rubino tyres prioritise durability over speed/grip
- Compact 50/34 chainset (on Centaur build) limits top-end on fast descents
- 73.5° seat angle limits the triathlon versatility Bianchi markets it for
