Bianchi Impulso Pro EKAR
Details
With it's classic lines and road racing pedigree, the Bianchi Impulso Pro is designed to take on gravel while leaving your home at home.
The Bianchi Impulso Pro is focussed on gravel racing, matching a fairly aggressive geometry with a conservative 37mm maximum tire clearance. While the Arcadex is pitched towards technical off-road riding, the Impulso Pro is desigend to allow the rider to test their road skills on gravel. . Bianchi says that the geometry creates a super-responsive and rigid ride reflective of the brand's racing heritage. In a world filled with dropped chainstays and massive fork crowns, the Impulso Pro stands out with a more traditional and clean silhouette.
With a claimed frame weight of 1,100 grams and a maximum tire clearance of 37mm, the Impulso Pro may put off riders more interested in a drop-bar mountain bike adventure, but for those who plan on returning home at the end of the ride, it feels just perfect.
The Impulso Pro is available in Shimano's GRX 600 build or in the Campagnolo's mind bendingly magnificent 13 speed EKAR
Both models come with Veloman 24mm deep and 21 mm wide wheelsets fitted with 37mm WTB Riddle Comp gravel tires. Velomann also provides the handlebars, stem and alloy seatpost, while Selle Italia provides the saddle.
The Impulso Pro is available in Celeste and Sage green. For more information about the Impulso Pro, contact the Bianchi experts of Lakeside Bicycles via e-Mail at Info@Lakeside-Bikes.Com or by phone at 503-699-8665.
Smooth Power transmission begins with the rear triangle. The Impulso Pro rear triangle is stiff, giving you a reactive and agile frame, suitable for both sprinting and cruising.
The Bianchi Impulso Pro allows for wide tire clearance (compatible with 700 X 38) to offer greater control when riding. Wider tires allow you to run lower pressures, offering superior grip over a variety of terrains. Combined with Tubeless Ready wheels, there's no telling how far you'll go!
Waste no watts with the Impulso Pro's super-stiff carbon frame. Torsional and lateral stiffness provide superior power transmission without wasting a single erg.
The Bianchi Impulso Pro is available in six frame sizes: 48-50-52-54-56-58), making fast gravel performance accessible to all.
