Bianchi OltreThe fabulous Oltre SuperLeggera (SuperLight) sits at the very top of Bianchi's HOC, or Hors Categorie range, which represents their very highest level of road race bike - in fact, Bianchi believe that the Oltre is quite simply the finest bike they have ever made, which is a bold claim for the world's oldest and most iconic bike brand. The Oltre uses the very latest carbon nanotechnology (microscopic hollow fibres, or "nanotubes") together with a patented molding process, known as Wrinkleless Molding Process or WMP, that eliminates any wrinkles or excess material on the inner surface of each frame tube to achieve Super Light frame weights - a size 55 weighs just 930g. 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! Characterized by an elegant and aerodynamic shape, with the Bianchi’s Eagle on the lower part of the down-tube, the Oltre provides a unique mix of tradition and aggressiveness. "we reckon the Oltre is one of the most usable superbikes around. It’s fast, light, nimble and cosseting. It does everything with such finesse we can’t think of anything else we’d rather ride right now" BikeRadar |

Bianchi have adopted a design philosophy for their race specific frames that prioritises comfort equally alongside the traditional goals in race bike design of low weight, sharp handling and stiffness. This is down to their belief that riders who 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 Oltre will never be as relaxed as the C2C bikes in Bianchi's range, such as the Infinito, it has significantly more vibration absorbtion built into it than most other pro level race frames on the market - this is thanks in part to the use of Ultra Thin Seat Stays that offer enhanced vertical compliance over conventioally profiles stays. The Oltre comes to us either as a frameset, which can then be built up into a complete bike in our workshop using components of your choice or as complete bikes as listed in the Bianchi catalogue - below is just one sample build using the first of our Oltre demo bike framesets. "Truly special superbike; very fast, light and comfortable" BikeRadar All Oltre cycles come to us as framesets, which can then either be built up into complete bikes in our workshop using components of your choice or supplied as framesets on their own. Our Bianchi demo fleet is now ready for test rides: the in-store photos below feature some of our latest display bikes, purely as examples. >> Contact us for more information on the Bianchi Oltre
