The Bianchi Oltre XR4 Frame is your base to creating an elite aero road bike. It is for the riders looking for the best results in terms of speed on the road. With a balance of aerodynamic features and lightweight climbing ability, this bike nestles into the aero road bike category without losing the qualities that make it a great climber. This is Bianchis most aerodynamic frame to date and was created using Computational Fluid Dynamic software to consider various iterations of geometry and tube shape. The wind tunnel was utilized to finally settle on what became the Oltre XR4. As a result, this bike can require 20 watts of power less to hit the same speeds as the XR2. With a new fork profile and headtube shaping, there is no question that Bianchi is making moves in the aero world.
A huge bright spot on Bianchis top bikes is their Countervail integrated vibration cancelling system. This patented viscoelastic material is incorporated within the carbon and cancels up to 80 percent of vibrations you would typically experience on the road. The cancellation of these vibrations will keep your muscles from fatiguing for longer so you can keep your best pace mile after mile. Less vibration also means that you will have the maximum stiffness through the frame and fork of your Oltre XR4 so you can reap the full benefits of its aerodynamic design.
The Countervail system is also partially to thank for the outstanding stability of the Bianchi Oltre XR4. With a bike that can hit such high speeds, keeping it stable with fewer vibrations is a huge plus. Disc brakes further that stability and control with their outstanding modulation and unmatched stopping power. These brakes can perform in any weather conditions and give riders extra confidence in all weather conditions. Braking performance is not an option on a bike that can hit such high speeds. With the Bianchi Oltre XR4, you truly get a complete package.
If you are looking for an aero advantage on the road with lightweight climbing ability and amazing stabilization, look no further than the Bianchi Oltre XR4. Building the perfect all-around is as easy as getting this frameset and customizing it to suit your needs. As the oldest bicycle manufacturer in the world, Bianchi has had more time than anyone to evolve. This frame is another example of their ability to get ahead of the rest. Anyone looking for an aero road bike with a bit of extra comfort can benefit from the Oltre XR4 Frameset.
