BianchiSpecialissima
Algupära
Nimi Specialissima ilmus esmakordselt Bianchi terasest võidusõiduratastel 1958. aastal kui Campione del Mondo areng, mida Fausto Coppi sõitis 1950. aastatel. 1960. aastatel domineeris see Felice Gimondi all Giro d'Italias ja mudelist sai lahutamatu osa Celeste-värvilisest kergest ronimistraditsioonist - kõige kuulsamalt seostatakse seda Marco Pantaniga, kes tegi brändi surematuks Alpide tõusudel 1990. aastatel. Bianchi äratas dünastia ellu 2015. aastal täissüsinikust ronimislipplaevana, millel on alla 780g raam ja patenteeritud Countervail vibratsiooni summutav kiht, mis töötati välja koostöös USA kosmosetööstuse ettevõttega Materials Sciences Corporation. Praegune kolmanda põlvkonna Specialissima RC, mida on täiustanud Reparto Corse koostöös WorldTour sportlastega, kaalub 6,6 kg täiskomplektina ja jääb Bianchi sihipäraseks relvaks mägede jaoks.
Tehnilised andmed
- Raam
- Full high-modulus carbon monocoque (Specialissima RC HM Aero); earlier 2015–2022 generations used Countervail vibration-damping carbon layup (viscoelastic resin from Materials Sciences Corp). Handpainted in Italy, logos masked & painted (no decals)
- Kahvel
- Specialissima RC full carbon HM Aero, integrated into head tube with aerodynamic nose cone (rigid road race fork)
- Jõuülekanne
- Electronic 2×12: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 R9270 or SRAM Red eTap AXS (power meter included). Top builds run Campagnolo Super Record EPS
- Pidurid
- Hydraulic disc — Shimano Dura-Ace BR-R9270 (or SRAM Red AXS), flat-mount
- Rattad
- Reparto Corse RC carbon, 33 mm deep rims (700×21C internal), Ceramitech fast-rolling hubs, tubeless-ready; ~1,370 g claimed pair
- Rehvid
- Pirelli P ZERO Race TT 700×26c (stock). Bianchi lists 25 mm minimum; reviewers report clearance for ~28–32c
- Vedrustus
- Rigid (no suspension) — road race bike
- Rooliplokk
- Reparto Corse integrated D-shaped full-carbon bar/stem (e.g. 110×380 ≈ 330 g), 17 size combinations; D-shaped aero seatpost
- Sadul
- Bianchi Reparto Corse RC139 carbon, 250×139 mm with central cutout
- Geomeetria
- Long-and-low aggressive race/climbing geometry; six sizes 47–59 cm. Current RC ~2 mm longer reach / 4 mm lower stack vs prior gen; rider sits well forward, aero-focused
- Kaal
- ~6.6 kg complete (size 55, ±5%); test bikes 6.56–6.75 kg. RC frame UCI-illegal light; 2015 frame claimed 780 g (55, fork 340 g)
Verdikt
- Exceptionally light — UCI-illegal sub-6.6 kg builds; among the lightest disc race bikes tested
- Fast everywhere, not just uphill — modern aero tube shaping makes it quick on flats and descents too
- Assured, confidence-rewarding handling thanks to the long-and-low race geometry
- Comfortable ride for such a stiff climber (Countervail damping on Pro-grade and pre-2024 frames)
- Premium finish — handpainted in Italy, painted-not-decaled logos, iconic Celeste heritage
- Divisive aesthetics — swooping top tube and low seatstays look bulky/unharmonious to some reviewers
- Stock 26c TT tyres are sketchy/jittery on real roads — best swapped for tubeless 28c for daily riding
- Shallow 33 mm wheels limit top-end aero; reviewers want deeper hoops for flat speed
- Setback seatpost criticised — an inline post is preferred for the steep-climb position
- Top-tier price (≈€12,749, Founder Edition €21,885) with limited tyre clearance vs all-road rivals
