Bianchi officially unveiled its new “Oltre” model, Vacansoleil-DCM World Tour Team’s official bike for 2012 season. Designed for extreme racing conditions, Oltre is one of the best racing machines Bianchi has ever made. X-Tex carbon technology and Bianchi optimized aerodynamic shape give it an incredibly efficient power transmission and stiffness to weight ratio.
Characterized by a very solid outlook and aerodynamic shape, Vacansoleil-DCM’s Oltre enhances Bianchi’s traditional “celeste” colour by matching it with blue and white touches – recalling the official outfit of the World Tour team. The Bianchi’s Eagle on the lower part of the down-tube, shaped with elegant dark celeste lines, provides a unique mix of tradition and aggressiveness.
Bianchi’s technical suppliers for 2012 Vacansoleil-DCM team’s Oltre are FSA, Vision, Fast Forward, Vredestein, Selle San Marco, Elite, KMC, Look, CycleOps Power Tap and Lizard skins.
