The Virata is a distinctive elite bike that goes its own way to deliver a spine-tingling, scenery-blurring ride. The frame is superlight and full of life, thanks to a main triangle of precision-shaped Dedacciai EOM steel tubing (with wall thicknesses as thin as 0.45mm) mated to Dedaccai’s Black Tail 2/Black Box carbon stays. You get absolute solidity on climbs and twisty descents, at a ghostly sub-19-pound weight. If you’re the kind of rider who doesn’t always go along with what everyone else is doing, the Virata could be your soul mate.

 

Highlights: Dedacciai-tubed frame (EOM steel main triangle, carbon stays). Bianchi carbon fork (with carbon steerer). SRAM Rival 20-speed components. Mavic Ksyrium Equipe wheels.
