Bianchi Oltre black edition with new Campagnolo EPS
Bianchi confirms its front-line position in both carbon frames' building technology and set up, as the Italy-based company prepared a Oltremodel with Campagnolo EPS (Electronic Power Shift) - the brand new electronic transmission system offered by the Italian brand Campagnolo. Bianchi provides even the most exigent riders the best of road bike technology.
The first Campagnolo Super Record EPS 11-speed group has been assembled on the Bianchi Oltre black edition model, whose main features are:
- Monocoque Carbon frame with USM40 High Modulus carbon fibers
- Aerodynamic shape
- Special matt black colour
- Internal Cable Routing
- Full carbon straight fork with aerodynamic wing
- Full carbon seatpost featuring aerodynamic design with "integrated" effect
Bianchi Oltre's technologies:
- X-TEX: Bianchi’s unique process to internally mold X-weaved structural carbon layer; a carbon net is molded into the carbon structure of the head tube; exceptional torsional rigidity proven by Bianchi’s professional riders
- Carbon Nano Tech: adding Nano material into the matrix system enhances cohesion between fiber and matrix to make the carbon structure packed and tighed; increased toughness, lifetime and fatigue resistance; reduced empty spaces and micro cracks of the carbon laminate
- Carbon Nano Tube Tech: the ultimate generation of nano-technology. Carbon nano tubes with cylindrical structure are combined with epoxy resin and nano powder to increase the fracture toughness by 49% compared to standard resin, 20% higher than nano-technology; increased material resistance and lifetime of the frame; reduced empty spaces and micro cracks of the carbon laminate
- WMP (Wrinkleless Molding Process): wrinkles in the material affect the property of the whole frame and add more weight; Bianchi avoid wrinkles by pre-tuning the thickness of the laminate of each frame; increased frame and process efficiency; reduced weight
- UTSS (Ultra Thin Seat Stay): thanks to Nano Tube Technology, seat stays tube sections are reduced without weakening power transmission; improved shock absorption and impact resistance; maximum power transmission; weight reduction
