In the 1970’s Bianchi released the Sprint which quickly found favour among Bianchi riders and racers of the time thanks to its precise handling and racy feel.
For 2020 Bianchi has released a new Sprint in the same vein as the original iconic bike. The new Sprint is a carbon race bike that is built on racing DNA but that is a true all-rounder for those looking to push their cycling forward.
The new Sprint is available in both Disc and Caliper versions to offer the greatest flexibility of use, so whether you are a budding Crit racer or dedicated sportive and rondo rider, the Sprint will help take your riding to the next level, without breaking the bank.
The Sprint is a sleekly styled modern race bike with a minimalist appearance and clean lines that honour its history and pedigree. The pared back frame is constructed as a full carbon monocoque for low weight and lively, responsive handling. Taking design elements from Bianchi’s Specialissima and Oltre platforms, the Sprint features an aerodynamic, tapered head tube and squared frame tubes to both enhance airflow and maximise strength and stiffness. All cabling - be it electronic or mechanical - is routed internally to further improve aerodynamics and contribute to the beautiful, simple aesthetic.
As a modern bike, the Sprint has been designed with plenty of tyre clearance so you can choose to build in additional comfort and grip without sacrificing speed. Perfect for tackling the White Roads of Tuscany or the cobbles of Northern France and Belgium! The Sprint Disc will accommodate tyres up to 32mm, while the Caliper version will comfortably take a 28mm.
Tube shape and a racing geometry similar to that of the Specialissima, combined with a full carbon tapered fork, give rise to an adept climber and excellent descender with confident handling to keep you fast - even when the pressure mounts or unfamiliar roads throw you a curve ball.
The Shimano Ultegra disc brake model delivers everything you need at a sensible price. Ultegra 11 speed shifting is light and accurate with the ability to go down the electronic upgrade path in future. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes keep your speed in check regardless of conditions, keeping you comfortable and confident.
Available in Gloss Black with Celeste Graphic or Gloss Celeste with Black Graphic.
