The Infinto represents years of Bianchi passion and their love of cycling with each model carefully manufactured to produce a bike worthy of any cyclist who wants a superior ride, outstanding performance and a bike with a Soul. Steeped in history (130+ years), Bianchi are renowned for delivering high end bikes across all aspects of road cycling whether at the top-end (pro) or down at club level and the Infinto won't disappoint.

This bike will supply you with great responsiveness in and out of the saddle, straight line sprinting, and excellent climbing and cornering characteristics.

Bianchi's frame and fork details:
The Infinto is manufactured from carbon fibre, as too the forks, and features full internal cable routing, double water bottle bosses, and stunning paintwork. The rear triangle uses their BAT technology (Bianchi Active Technology) with shaped chainstays and seat stays, whilst the forks, again full carbon, feature K-VID technology (Kevlar Vibration Isolating Device) and provides front end shock absorbing comfort.

Shimano's Ultegra components and the drivetrain offering:
Shimano's Ultegra groupset brings exceptional and reliable performance with every movement of the shifter. Their Ultegra series is "pro-proven" as it is a direct trickle down from their Dura Ace group and stands for state-of-the-art technology. Ultegra comes in at a much more competitive price and is ideal for the real world riders who want good performance. For many years it has been the backbone groupset for many and offers much of the functionality from the top-of-the-line Dura Ace groupo.

The shifting is good, precise and accurate, whilst the braking is strong and progressive. Shimano's Ultegra is featured on the Infinito at key points throughout the bike and these include: STi's (brake and gear levers), front and rear derailleurs and at the brakes.

The drivetrain is all centred around a Shimano's Ultegra double chainset that when coupled with the 10 speed rear cassette will provide you with 20 gears to use. With this great gearing combination, the Infinito will be able to get you over the steepest of climbs, or over the longest of drags, yet still offer top-end speed along the flatter roads.

The wheel and braking solution:
A pair of Fulcrum Racing 5 wheels comes supplied with the Infinto and these comes wrapped with a pair of Continental Grand Prix 4000 tyres. These wheels offer excellent reactive acceleration, ample traction and stability in the corners, and ideal for trading pulls at the front of the pack or tackling a tricky technical descent. Well known for it's performance, the Racing 5's are a great set of wheels that accompany the Infinito nicely.

As mentioned above, braking is thanks to Shimano and it's Ultegra calipers supplying strong and progressive braking so inspiring confidence at all times, even in wet weather.

Completing the package::
Completing the look of the Infinito, Bianchi have decided to use their own inhouse range of components (Reparto Corse) with these being located at the front (bars and stem) and centre (seat post) of the bike. Again this offers you great value as it helps to keep the price down yet still provides the same level of quality found is other key cycling brands that supply components of this nature. Finally, Lizard Skins supply the Celeste bar tape, which matches the saddle, which is the San Marco ERA.
