BianchiDama Bianca
Origin
Dama Bianca ("White Lady" in Italian) is Bianchi's women's road line, introduced in 2016. Rather than the usual "pink it and shrink it" approach, Bianchi built it as a full range of classically styled black-and-white road bikes accented with the brand's iconic Celeste, applying women-specific touches — narrower bars, shorter stems and women's saddles — on top of its proven endurance frame platforms. The line was not a single bike but a women's badge applied across Bianchi's catalogue, from the alloy Via Nirone 7 and Impulso up to the carbon Intenso and the Countervail-equipped Infinito CV. Bianchi has since folded women-specific design back into its mainstream ranges rather than maintaining Dama Bianca as a standalone line.
Specifications
- Frame
- Alloy on Via Nirone 7 / Impulso builds; full carbon (Countervail) on Infinito CV and Intenso builds.
- Weight
- kg
- Drivetrain
- Varies by build: Shimano Claris 8sp / Sora 9sp / Tiagra 10sp on Via Nirone 7; Shimano 105 11sp on Impulso; Shimano Ultegra (mechanical or Di2) compact on Infinito CV / Intenso; Campagnolo Veloce 10sp option on Intenso.
- Brakes
- Mostly rim brakes (Shimano caliper matched to the groupset; Bianchi RC-461 E on She). Impulso Disc variant runs Avid BB5 mechanical disc.
- Wheels
- Fulcrum Racing 5 on the Infinito CV Ultegra build; entry alloy wheelsets on Via Nirone 7 builds.
The verdict
- Exceptional ride comfort and vibration damping — carbon Countervail frame plus compliant carbon seatpost soak up road buzz on long rides.
- Confidence-inspiring handling: front end tracks corners precisely, strong on descents.
- Genuine women-specific fit done right (narrower bars, shorter stems, women's saddle, true small sizes) instead of cosmetic 'pink and shrink'.
- Broad price ladder — same line runs from affordable alloy Claris/Sora builds up to Ultegra Di2 carbon.
- Classic Bianchi Celeste styling and brand heritage.
- Carbon Infinito CV build is on the heavy side and pricey for its weight/spec class.
- Stock Fulcrum Racing 5 wheelset is robust but holds back the frame and groupset — an obvious upgrade target.
- Endurance geometry lacks the snap/liveliness crit racers or aggressive riders want.
- Mostly rim brakes across the range (disc only on the Impulso Disc variant) — dated for buyers wanting modern discs.
- Discontinued as a distinct line, so newer model-year support and parts availability for the women-badged builds are limited.
