Bianchi 928 SuperLeggera

The 928 SuperLeggera (SuperLight) is part of Bianchi's HOC, or Hors Categorie range, which represents their very highest level of road race bike - the name of the 928 is inspired by the last numeral in each of the years 1949, 1952, and 1998 when Bianchi won both the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France.

The 928 SL uses the very latest carbon nanotechnology (microscopic hollow fibres, or "nanotubes") together with a monocoque molding process that eliminates any wrinkles or excess material on the inner surface of each frame tube to achieve Super Light frame weights - the size 55, including its integrated aero seatpost, weighs just 1080g. At the same time, the use of nanotubes also ensures very high levels of strength, resilience and stiffness for maximum pedalling efficiency (carbon fibre sheets formed from nanotubes have a tensile strength 400 times greater than that of steel).

Bianchi have adopted a design philosophy for their race specific frames that prioritises comfort alonside low weghts, handling and stiffness - the taditional goals in race bike design. This is down to their belief that riders that race in comfort will be fresher at the end of a long day in the saddle than riders aboard uncompromisingly stiff bikes - they will also enjoy the ride more too. So, while the 928 SL will never be as silky smooth as the C2C bikes in Bianchi's range, such as the Infinito or CentoStrada, it has significantly more vertical compliance and vibration absorbtion built into it than most other pro level race frames on the market.

For 2010 we are offering exclusive Squadra Edition models across much of the Bianchi range, in addition to the standard models of course, that feature superb upgraded wheels at minimal cost.
