Bianchi

Asphalt, gravel roads, mixed terrain. Performance and style together in one aluminum gravel bike.

The Arcadex gravel bike perfectly combines a close connection with nature with the exhilarating rush of Bianchi racing DNA. It delivers a distinct performance for the modern gravel rider. The Arcadex's sculpted carbon fiber frame is incredibly responsive and is primed to perform as soon as you push on the pedals—whether riding to explore or indulging your competitive spirit. Take off-road capability, combine it with the speed and aesthetics you love about your road bike, then you have the Arcadex. The clean lines of the bike are maintained with all hydraulic cables routed internally and the dedicated alloy seatpost has been developed for the ultimate streamlined, integrated look. Talking of streamlined, the alloy stem and spacers have been created by Bianchi for a better head tube connection, with the 1 1/8" to 1.5" head tube providing stability at speed and under braking. The characteristics of the bike are maintained across the frame sizes. The chainstay length of 415mm for the 47-57cm frames and 420mm for the largest 59cm and 61cm models means that the bike behaves the same no matter what size you choose. The frame design has been aerodynamically optimized for performance, while clearance for 700c x 42 or 650B x 47 tires delivers more than enough scope to tackle any rough terrain you might choose. Naturally, you'll find eyelets for mudguards and carrier racks, so the Arcadex can be easily transformed into a high-speed bikepacking machine.

Bianchi’s original Sprint from the 1970s was renowned as the race machine of choice for the budding competitor. While the original was a slender-tubed, welded steel machine, its reinvention for the 21st century is a full-carbon speedster with aggressive racing geometry and a nod here and there to aerodynamics to keep it fully on trend for a modern race rig.
