Plus, with its asymmetrical, shock absorbing rear stays and fast XC specific geometry, youll enjoy both lightning quick acceleration, smooth control and precise handling Features FrameMethanol 27 SX, High Modulus Monocoque Carbon Fibre TypeCross Country Recommended Max Fork Travel100mm Bottom Bracket TypePF30 Headset DimensionTapered 1 18" 1.5" Headset TypeIntegrated compatible with FSA orbit 1.5ZS Disc Brake StandardInternational Standard Front Derailleur TypeLow direct mount or high clamp diam. 34 9mm, top pull Rear Hub Compatibility12x142mm Shimano E Thru, axle not included Recommended Tyre Size Compatible with 27.5x2 0" tyresTechnologies Asymmetrical Rear Stays Optimized rear stays design to obtain a very compact and reactive rear triangle without sacrificing the chainline clearance. It fits different chainrings combinations and it is optimized to improve power transmission on the driveside. This design also offers increased power reactivity and pedalling performance ERC Embedded Reinforcement Construction Reinforcement carbon ribs are embedded into the main tubes profiles. The increased torsional stiffness of the head tube and the Bottom Bracket area and the crank frame interface becomes stronger TWT Triple Wall Tube TWT construction allows Bianchi to lay up the composite material plies to form 3 thin walls which are then molded together to form a bond less monocoque laminate tube Increased strength and stiffness to weight ratio Improved reactivity and ride control SAS Shock Assorbing Stays Special designed rear stays with S shape are laminated with carbon and glass fibers. This offers enhanced absorption of the vertical shocks on the rear drop outs without weakening the lateral and torsional stiffness of the frame.
