A bike that wins bike races. I can’t argue Bianchi have made an incredible race bike with the Oltre Xr4. Its fairly light, mine being a big frame and with light wheels its 7.4kg. Very stiff, it feels like all the power is going straight through the pedals and into the road. It is very noticeable when swapping from my winter bike to this to come out to Calpe the difference is night and day. Doing sprints on the tank I’m fairly certain you dont actually go forward, but with this is is very fast!
