Road

Think of Bianchi's Eroica as a testament to yesteryear, but with some of the bells and whistles that make today pretty nice. Bianchi lays the foundation with a timeless, lugged steel frame with a ride so smooth, so confident, that every ride will make you wonder why all bikes aren't like this. The heralded features on this Italian-made art piece continue with Campangnolo Silver Vintage components, down tube shifters, and a gorgeous Bianchi crank. The cotton bar wrap under your fingertips will make you seriously question the merits of this new millennium, and Ambrosio Montreal tubulars will serve as your guffaw in the face of the clincher trend. The Eroica definitely qualifies as an "oldie-but-goodie," but don't take Bianchi's word for it—a ride on this baby will seal the deal all on its own.

Yearning for long days on the road, Bianchi's Impulso 105 Disc will leave you happily exhausted and eager for more. The lightweight frame sports an endurance-oriented geometry for hours of comfort and fun, and the triple hydroformed aluminum tubes provides stiff, precise handling. Plus, with Bianchi's Kevlar inserts, the carbon fork provides an ultra-smooth ride. The lightweight Reparto Corse wheels accelerate and climb with ease and the crisp-shifting Shimano 105 11-speed drivetrain provides the perfect gearing for sailing over mountains and flying down open roads. Avid BB5 disc brakes offer unmatched all-weather control right under your hands. You'll also love the powerful Reparto Corse brakes, stem, bars, and seatpost, not to mention the plush Selle San Marco seat.

Like a reporter searching for the facts, Bianchi's Intrepida 105 is determined. A monocoque carbon frame has the comfortable ride and the easy-on-the grams lightness to keep you powering over those distant hills and down unexplored roads. Shimano wheels have the strong construction and snap to accelerate toward the unknown, and the Vittoria tires wrapping them up are durable enough to keep on turning excursion after excursion. The Shimano 105 11-speed drivetrain provides the gearing you'll need to conquer every mountain, and caliper brakes from Shimano give confidence-boosting stopping power and speed modulation to riders of all skill levels. Add in a Reparto Corse cockpit and you've got the command center you'll need for endless adventure.
