Bianchi gravel bikes

Born for adventure. Bianchi presents the new Arcadex, the Italian brand’s model designed for adventure gravel cycling and bikepacking, now even more versatile and capable of meeting the needs of those riders who want to push beyond their comfort zone.

With the Arcadex, Bianchi completes its offerings for gravel enthusiasts. Alongside the Impulso, the fast gravel model for those who seek performance and speed even on dirt trails, the new Arcadex meets the needs of free spirits, who seek an answer to their desire for off-road adventure.

DEDICATED FRAME

The carbon fiber frame with endurance geometry provides all the comfort needed to fully experience long-distance adventures without sacrificing performance.

Arcadex Pro is spec’d with an internal cable routing cockpit.

The Arcadex has clearance for up to 700c x 50mm tyres. It can also be run with clip-on fenders/mudguards, when using 45mm tyres. The bicycle is rated for ASTM 2 usage on off-road surfaces and all specifications feature a Mitora 149 H1 saddle to provide the all-day comfort you need for multi-day escapes.

OPTIMIZED FOR ADVENTURE

When developing the new Arcadex, Bianchi listened to the specific requests and needs of bikepackers and cyclotourists in order to design solutions that simplify and enhance their respective experiences.

The new main feature is the IFS (Internal Frame Storage) module, which provides the rider with extra space created inside the down tube where small items can be stored. Inside the IFS module, items can be stored using the protective case by Velomann, which has been specially designed to prevent them from scattering inside the compartment, rattling around, or causing scratches.

The Arcadex can be configured with the new Bianchi kit consisting of four bags (100 percent nylon) designed to give you different support options for your travels.
