Bianchi Specialissima PRO Road Bike Frame

Balancing Performance and Comfort in the Bianchi Specialissima Pro

If you are uncertain what sets the Specialissima Pro apart from the Specialissima RC, it’s less a question of performance and more a focus on comfort. The Bianchi Specialissima Pro sits high in the Italian brand’s hierarchy of super bikes, offering lightweight performance with an all-rounder’s level of aerodynamics. But it also adds a dash of additional comfort thanks to the use of Bianchi’s special Countervail treatment in the carbon layup.

The Bianchi Specialissima Pro uses the same mold as the Specialissima RC. The main difference it that the high quality carbon has also received Bianchi’s Countervail treatment which means that the carbon material has a unique fiber architecture and is combined with a viscoelastic resin. This viscoelastic resin helps absorb road vibrations which will not only reduce fatigue, but improve the road feel and handling of the bike.

Impressive Handling on Various Terrains of the Specialissima Pro

Handling on rougher roads and especially on off-kilter descents remains impressive thanks to the CV vibration canceling system combining viscoelastic material together with a special carbon fiber layup to dissipate road vibrations. That marriage of materials is what helps the Specialissima feel so planted and at one with the road. It also mitigates any muscle fatigue the rider might feel since it cuts out much of the hand numbing road chatter.

Though this is undoubtedly a climber’s dream bike, Bianchi have ensured the Specialissima Pro enjoys as much aero enhancement as the Specialissima RC. They have made this a great bike for long flat rides as much as for multi-col climbing days. The fact that the frame can accommodate up to 30mm tires indicates that this will be the type of racing bike that you can feel comfortable on for many hours and even feel confident if the road surfaces deteriorate.

Available in six sizes and a couple sleek, classic Bianchi colorways, the Bianchi Specialissima Pro can encourage even the most reluctant climber to start seeking out peaks to scale.
