The Arcadex serves as the connection between the human spirit and the natural world beyond, enhancing every sense, from the crispness of colours to the feeling of friendship among companions. This bike creates an instant connection to the simple pleasure of riding and will help you to perform to the best of your ability, no matter the terrain. Everything is intensified. Nature is amplified..
The name Arcadex takes inspiration from Arcadia (Ἀρκαδία), the legendary region of Greek and Roman myth and tied inextricably to visions of natural harmony.
The frame is made of a lightweight and robust epoxy-SM carbon fiber composite and is equipped with a flat mount disc brake mount for 140/160 mm brake discs. The frame also has a PressFit 86.5 X Ø41 bottom bracket and a 142 mm OLD thru-axle (over locknut dimension) as well as the SRAM UDH derailleur hanger.
The fork, also made of epoxy-SM carbon fiber composite material, offers a tire clearance of up to 42 mm (ETRTO 622-42mm) and is equipped with a 1 1/8" head tube diameter. The Bianchi Custom Acros ICR headset components ensure internal cable routing and a tidy look.
The drivetrain system consists of Shimano GRX 610 shifters, the robust GRX 822 rear derailleur and a GRX 610 crankset with 40 teeth. The drivetrain system is completed by a Shimano CN-M7100 chain and a Shimano CS-M7100-12 cassette with a range of 11-51T. The Shimano SM-BB72-41B bottom bracket ensures smooth power transmission.
For the brakes, Bianchi relies on Shimano BR-RX400 hydraulic brakes with SM-RT70 IceTech brake rotors, which offer excellent braking performance and heat dissipation. The brake disks have a diameter of 160 mm at the front and rear.
The wheelset consists of Fulcrum RapidRed 900 2-Way Fit Ready wheels, which are suitable for both clincher and tubeless tires. These 700C wheels are made of aluminum and have an internal width of 22 mm. The Pirelli Cinturato™ GRAVEL M Classic tires (45-622) with tan sidewall offer optimum grip and comfort on a wide variety of surfaces.
The cockpit consists of a Velomann AICR Alloy stem in various lengths depending on the frame size and a Velomann Gravel ICR Alloy handlebar with 16° flare. The grips are made of 2.5 mm thick Bianchi Hexagon Tape.
The seat area is equipped with a Velomann Carbon UD seat post and a Velomann MITORA 149 saddle, which impresses with its soft padding and stable construction.
