Launched in the 1970s, the original sprint was loved by riders of the time, and is much admired still as an iconic piece of cycling’s history. The new sprint is created in the same mould as its predecessor – it’s a racing carbon bike for those new to the world of competitive road cycling.
ACCESSIBLE PERFORMANCE
The Sprint is worthy of inclusion in Bianchi’s Racing category, created for those starting out on their journey in competition. No compromise has been made on the Sprint’s appearance: it’s a sharply-styled, beautiful road carbon bike. Considerations have been made throughout the design to ensure sleekness, clean lines and a racy, aggressive character.
The carbon monocoque frame is constructed around a racing-specific geometry, providing an aggressive platform from which to chase down attacks, launch breakaways and sprint for mid-race primes.
The carbon fork delivers low weight for graceful climbing and agile handling in the turns.
Small but important details like the aerodynamic profile of the head tube act as further evidence of the Sprint’s elite racing DNA.
Sprint frame is compatible with larger volume tires to enhances comfort and grip without affecting rolling efficiency or speed. Disc version can accommodate tires up to 700×32 while caliper model is compatible with 700×28 tires.
The chain stays, fork blades, top tube and down tube feature a subtle recurring graphic of the Bianchi logo – with a single instance picked out in a contrasting color. Naturally, the two colorways available feature Bianchi’s iconic celeste; one as the main frame color and the other as the accent. The frame features internal cable routing, keeping the body of the bike clean and pared back. It comes in two color versions: celeste and black.
