Kilmė

„Bianchi Oltre“ serija, pristatyta apie 2012 m. su originaliu „Oltre XR“, yra aukščiausias „Bianchi“ aerodinaminių plento lenktyninių dviračių pasiekimas. Ji evoliucionavo per keletą iteracijų, įskaitant „Oltre XR2“, „Oltre XR3“, „Oltre XR4“ ir dabartinį „Oltre RC“ (Race Carbon), kiekviena peržengianti vėjo tuneliu patikrinto dizaino ir integracijos ribas. Šie dviračiai sukurti elitiniams lenktynininkams ir į rezultatus orientuotiems dviratininkams, ieškantiems maksimalaus greičio ir efektyvumo lygiose trasose bei atitrūkimuose. Žymus dėl „Bianchi“ patentuotos „Countervail“ vibraciją slopinančios anglies technologijos integracijos, „Oltre“ siekia užtikrinti sklandesnį važiavimą neaukojant standumo ar aerodinamikos. Serija ir toliau išlieka flagmanu „Bianchi“ plento dviračių asortimente, nuolat atnaujinama naujausiais technologiniais pasiekimais.

Specifikacijos

Rėmas: Full carbon (Countervail vibration-cancelling carbon + viscoelastic resin, claimed -80% road vibration vs traditional carbon). XR1 used a heavier/cheaper layup (~200g heavier than XR2's claimed 895g) from the same mould.
Svoris: kg
Transmisija: High-end 2x electronic/mechanical groupsets across builds: Shimano Ultegra Di2, Dura-Ace Di2, SRAM Red eTap AXS, Campagnolo Super Record (EPS). Example XR4 Disc build: full Ultegra Di2 R8050/R8070, 52/36 crank, 11-28 cassette (11sp).
Stabdžiai: Build-dependent: rim-brake on early XR/XR2/XR4 builds; later XR4 Disc and Oltre RC use hydraulic disc (e.g. Shimano BR-R8070, 160mm Center Lock rotors). Reviewers noted carbon-rim wet braking on rim-brake versions was weaker.
Ratai: Build-dependent: Fulcrum Racing Quattro DB (40mm carbon), Campagnolo/Fulcrum Bora 50, or alloy Fulcrum Racing on lower builds. Reviewers flagged alloy Fulcrum wheels as below-spec for the price.

Verdiktas

+Stiprybės

Countervail carbon layup genuinely smooths road buzz (Bianchi claims -80% vibration) without the softness of a comfort frame.
Stiff, efficient frame with sharp, lively handling and strong power transfer in sprints.
Proven pro-peloton aero pedigree; XR4 claimed a ~20W gain over its predecessor, Oltre RC a further ~17W at 50 km/h.
Clean fully-integrated cockpit and cable routing (ACR on XR4, Reparto Corse aero cockpit on RC).
Iconic Celeste finish and high build quality — a recognisable flagship superbike.

−Trūkumai

Premium pricing; even mid builds feel expensive versus rivals with comparable spec.
Lower builds spec'd with overweight alloy Fulcrum Racing wheels and durability-focused Vittoria Rubino tyres that undersell the frame.
Several testers found it sluggish from a standstill and when climbing — an aero bike biased to flat/rolling courses.
Carbon-rim wet braking on rim-brake versions is mediocre; deep wheels catch crosswinds.
Aggressive race geometry and tight integrated cockpit limit comfort/fit flexibility for non-racers.
