Bianchi Info:
Bianchi is touting the Oltre as their most advanced frame ever-that’s a big statement for a company with such history. The monocoque frame uses CNT (Carbon Nano Tube) technology, which is claimed to increase fracture resistance over standard resins by nearly 50 percent. That means that if it’s-gasp-skidded down the road at some point, it is much more likely to avoid the scrap pile.
The Oltre frame uses three distinct tubing designs: First, an oversized diamond-shaped downtube is bolstered by a massive BB30 bottom bracket to achieve stiffness. Second, the thin seat stays with a slightly arched top tube tapered down in size from the head tube to the seat tube for ride comfort. And last but not least, the aerodynamics of an airfoil-shaped seat tube and an aero ‘finned’ design behind the fork crown improve airflow over the downtube.
