Bianchi has launched a beautiful new gravel bike with the new Impulso RC. This latest addition to the Impulso family \u2013 including the Pro and Comp models \u2013 shows that Bianchi wants to stand out in aerodynamics, weight and handling. The RC models are the flagship of the Bianchi line. We saw that with the introduction of the Specialissima<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gravelen is hot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gravels<\/a> It\u2019s hugely popular, and we see that in our content and stories as well. You now have a veritable \u2018race scene\u2019 in gravel biking, with the World Championships in gravel and the unofficial World Championship, UNBOUND, taking center stage. Additionally, it\u2019s precisely the non-competitive nature and the focus on discovery that are what make gravel biking and bikepacking<\/a> That\u2019s what makes it so attractive. The Impulso family is Bianchi\u2019s answer to these diverse demands, with a custom-made solution for all gravel enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Race-Edge: Impulse RC <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Impulso RC is the pinnacle of all product lines within Bianchi and embodies Bianchi\u2019s racing ethos. This racing approach is now also available for the gravel bike. Inspired by the Oltre and Specialissima, the Impulso RC is a showcase of design, optimized for the demands of gravel races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design and Technology <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Impulso RC has a streamlined, beautiful Italian-style carbon frame that reflects the aerodynamic finesse of Bianchi\u2019s Oltre models. The progressive geometry, inspired by elite off-road and cross-country MTB racing bikes, provides superior stability and control. The frame supports tires up to 42 mm, so almost anyone can handle it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aerodynamics and components<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Impulso frame benefits from aerodynamic advancements, drawing inspiration from its siblings, the Oltre RC and Specialissima. The integrated fork and head tube, combined with the specially designed aerodynamic RC wheelset, give the Impulso RC an edge, especially in terms of aerodynamics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reparto Corse team, responsible for the \u2019top of the line\u2019 at Bianchi, has strengthened the Impulso RC with a stiffer cockpit for improved control. The steering wheel with a 16-degree flare provides extra control on descents and weighs only 340g. Every component, including the RC43 wheels with a 43mm profile and 3K carbon finish, has been chosen for optimal performance. That could be less!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
