XL CARBON/CHORUS

The XL Carbon road frame is an integrated monocoque structure engineered to optimize torsional and lateral rigidity while providing some vertical compliance for rider comfort. Its new MegaPro Evolution tube profile is 15% more rigid than last year's MegaPro. The monostay chain and seat stays resist lateral flexing and contribute to efficient power transfer.

This exclusive Reparto Corse design uses Bianchi's proprietary CESMAR computer pro-gram to create a high modulus, high strength carbon composite monocoque of outstanding performance. 17.4 lbs in 55 cm size. Also available as a frameset with fork.
