It's always great to have Matt as the presenter
Miss you at GCN
Did he quit gcn?
me too
Bianchi in celeste- classic, elegant... just a thing of beauty!
The big question matt is! Is it easy to clip in :)
Why is watching Matt Stephen’s ride bikes so much fun?
I´ve been riding Bianchi bikes since 1986....Love them!!!
Great to have found you, Matt. Good job, as always.
Matt Stephens......legend of two wheels.....go Matt!
So nice seeing you presenting a bike Matt. Loved it. Exceptional nice bike too
Sorry. Had to go get my drool bib. Love, love, love this new ride. And as always, love your Sigma Sport vlogs. You, Sir, are a class act. Thanks!
Really iconic bike, I love Bianchi, especially the super clean cockpit
Teunissen won stage 1 of the 2019 TdF on this bike, too! Memorable day on the tour.
I've been curious about this bike ever since. Thanks for the review, Matt.
It's a great all-rounder and that day at the TdF proves it!
damn, i want sagan won that stage so much XDDD
Bianchi with Mavic love going on here. Gloves, shoes, clothing,wheels. That thro-axle tho' - lovely.
Noice vid Matt and the gang. I have a bog standard aluminium Bianchi frame that still rides beautifully after almost a decade. I can't wait for the clip of you with the guru Mr Holm 🤙🏼
Nice review Matt . That bike also looks good with the direct mount brakes
What a beauty. And the bike too.
What a cool review Matt..great bike .
Such a cool bike, neat review👍
Nothing like a Bianchi in Celeste………brings back so many memories - cheers team and Matt !
I have the XR1, it's more bike than I need. Love it.
Probably only disc bike I'd consider. Pretty bike! Love matching bars.
I constantly miss my Oltre XR. Just seemed to hold speed, unlike any other road bike I've ridden.
The first time I rode Countervail carbon, I thought it was just marketing b.s., but I got 500m down the road and had to stop and check that my tyres weren't soft as I couldn't feel the usual road vibration. Is really noticeable through corners too - tracks so much truer. Descending is true and fast as well. Run it with high-tech, supple tyres and it is Wow!.
Nice to see u again matt😁
So damn gorgeous, Bianchi! Dream bike!
Beautiful bike! 👍🏻
Love it! Thanks Matt. :-)
wow, a compliment from Bianchi herself :)
awesome review. would love to see your thoughts on the specialissima (my dream bike)
I have the same bike. Very lovely . I wish there were more stem and bar options
Looks beautiful
rigid AND compliant. Clever stuff.
What a beauty!!! 😍🔥
Very interesting review ! I just ordered it :-) very curious to see the behaviour of this top bike.
Love my Bianchi Aria
The “Mavic doobry” inducted into Matt’s hall of fame.
Really like your vid. You found and pointed out all the little details a tech nerd bikie would love.
Thanks, Jimmy! We do our humble best!
I see SigmaSports have listed what Matt was wearing for this which is an excellent idea for that helmet came into its own while on the move as opposed to the still pictures on the website. Will start looking out for different products on your videos...………….and buy more :)
My dream bike.
Best colour bike in the world. Just wish I could bloody own one.
Cheers Matt
You just confirm to me again why i need to get myself a Bianchi Oltre XR4
Nice...such a great colour.
I want one !!
Good job Matt, thanks.
I'm going to have to get my glock 43 painted to match mine. not one of these new bois, I have an old 2004 I brought back from the scrapyard.
@@greedfox7842 LOL that is definitely a colour combination approach - would never have thought of matching a handgun to a bike..!
Then again living in Australia there's no such opportunity to have one, or to be honest, need one - matching or not!
@@thomasconc ayuh, yo out on a bike worth as much as my car I'll be damned if I'm not carrying a pistol...
@@greedfox7842 Being ex-Aussie Army I am no stranger to firearms - though I must say I am very partial towards our Austeyr as well as I do like the M4's too - but not much towards pistols for the job we did. Didn't mind the Glock, but also liked the M1911A1 and our Browning 9mm.
If I was in the States I would probably do what you do, but in Australia even with a $20k bike there is just no need, the crime rate is nothing like that in the US of A...
never have I ever..... ride a Bianchi, but it's def on my list
What beautiful bike oltre x4
fantastica!
What I want to know, Matt, is this: where did that Patagonia hoody come from, did you unfurl it from a jersey pocket, your team support or neutral service vehicle?
I remember my first race bike in 1971. Frejus with Campy $ 700.
Gorgeous bike. Love it! If you want a laugh turn on the TH-cam subtitles for this 😂
😂😂😂
1:23 as you eat people...
Love u Matt..
Great bike => my dream bike.
Nice presenter.
My favourite TH-camr @petrolped has one and he contented the whole process of fitting to build to ride.
I fell in love and
Magic........space!
I live in Spain, and I own one of those apartments behind him when he is sitting on the bench. Denmark is a small country 😀.
Bianchis are the coolest of cool bikes - discuss. Ok, discussion over. The heritage and that fantastic colour, celeste.
Owning one is on my bucket list and time is running out so do me a deal, Sigma.
When I get one I'll book a room with it.
I only ride Bianchi...I need no other brand 🖒
I had a sempre a few years back and the frame was agile but also nice on long distances. Remember though that the bike manufacture is rarely beyond a framset so essentially you like the frame as the other bits are on lots of bikes.
@@glennoc8585 Very true.
Warm here today. Will put Ridley in car and drive 25 miles to the Pyrenees, nice.
@@Ystadcop don't drive there ride it😀
@@glennoc8585 It's just that bit too far to go, ride there, ride for 3 hours then ride back.
And I can do a supermarket run in Spain, much cheaper.
Ps, screw Brexit!
My dream machine
i love my Oltre XR4....custom built and comes in at 6.8kg.....
Good looking bike good Looking rider
Great video! Does Matt still have a Colnago Concept?
I have the 2011 Infinito, Bianchi is the top of the foodchain
Finally a bike suited to a late forties 90+ kg rider - Bianchi how did you know about this niche market???
Hey Matt, when you're on the bike, you have a similar posture as Pedro Delgado.
That's a nice bike! I want one!
There expensive
I'm looking into one now, did you ever get one?
2:42 His name is Bond. Mathew Stephen Bond.
Always nice watching Matt! But in general, I can't remember ever seeing a negative or even critical review of an expensive bike...
There isn't much of anything wrong with them. You also have to remember he is working for Sigma Sports. They sell them.
It's not in his nature i think he'd rather not say much if he's not liking something.
RepsacZ when your looking at bikes where the frame is 4500 dollars what could be wrong ? It’s like doing a review of the latest Ferrari and what would be your complaint , it doesn’t have a back seat ?
Same as GCN. Basically one big Advertisement Mixed with some Entertainment. Also what the Others Said.
Most internet reviewers aren't going to be critical because they have to keep a good relationship with vendors in order to keep getting the latest models lended to them.
Such a nice bike
It's a stunner!
@Sigma Sports I just washed and waxed my domanè SL6 🙃
What a bike .... a weapon ... pity it didn’t have super record...oh and nice jacket
you are beatiful bianchi :)
Crazy money
I ride with a guy who rides one of these. Sharp bike!
Italian beauty
Hello Matt, which bike do you like more? The cannondale system six you reviewed before or this Bianchi??
Matt I thought you said when you left gcn you said I will stick to spectating and narrating
Given a choice Matt, disc or rim brakes?
I just got curious about bike fitting for demo videos: does it take place before recording or quick saddle height adjustement would make it?
Matt has had a full bike fit at our Hampton Wick store and we set up his bikes to these measurements before he rides them. Cheers, Lucy
Everything sounds great but, does it come with press fit or threaded bb?
Pressfit 🤦♂️
Can the presentation include the weight of the bike next time for all the bikes? This will be helpful info for the ones who are shopping for bikes
Nice shoes.
Cheers Mark! For more information on the Mavic Comete Ultimate II Road Shoes click here: www.sigmasports.com/item/Mavic/Comete-Ultimate-II-Road-Cycling-Shoes/PELH?.com&
I want to see xr4 CV on a long downhill going 100km/h
Please link if such video exists
If money was no object for me that is my dream bike
You have great taste Samuel!
i think primoz roglic was on a rim brake bike ?
missing matt at GCN, it's just not the same without him
Did they win on the disc version?
Well Matt sold that very well.. 😎
NASA! And that means Space!!!
My first road bike was a 8 year old aluminium Bianchi Via Nitrone 7 with campagnolo veloce 2x10.
About as basic at the Bianchis come but still a really comfortable bike to ride.
Do yourself a favour and get a cheap old bianchi as a runaround bike, you won’t reget it.
Hello i want ask you. I want to buy one oltre xr4!what are you say rim brake or disk brake? Mecanical dura ace or Electronic ultegra di2?? Please say your opinion!!
Is it ever not raining when you ride :)
Are the world Tour teams choosing a certain brand because they feel they are the best for them or are they chosen for commercial reasons ?. I do not recall Bianchi at the 22 tour which is interesting - as I recall Mitchelton Scott using them in '21. The colour I remember is called celeste. I seem to remember Ullrich wearing that jersey awhile ago.
Good review I thought.
Matt
This bike or the new Trek Emonda?
how much does it weigh? I would be close to 18lb...
Can someone please explain what's meant by the '10 degrees of sweep'? I can't visualise it..
The sweep is the forward angle of the bars. From the stem, the tops angle forward at 10 degrees from perpendicular to the stem. :-)
Nice video...but I still think we need to see reviews of bikes that the average cyclist can afford. It's nice to see premium bikes, unfortunately, a lot of us cannot afford that....everyday bike reviews are important too.
What kind of helmet are you using?
OK, so what have you done with the real Matt? Who is this professional and competent presenter? Either that or there is a massive pile of the usual great stuff from Matt on the edit room floor? I mean did he clip in? Remember all his lines? Not fall off, and where's his famous laugh?
What is the proper term name for that pacific thru-axle? If I were to only purchase the through axle
pork chõp I think canyon makes them like that too. I don’t think there are any aftermarket ones.
@@jonathanzappala what is the pacific name of it?
pork chõp they don’t give it a name anywhere, so it doesn’t have one. Canyon calls their’s a quixle.
How does it compare with your own Dogma???
Is this a endurance bike? Is this a all rounder bike for specially climbing?
The Oltre XR4 CV is described as a road bike with race-orientated geometry. It has fantastic performance in all areas but is also an incredible climbing bike.
Hello my friend what carbon cage bottle is this?? And i ask i buy one oltre xr4 rim brakes or disc brakes please say your opinion??Matt Stevens!!For sigma sport!!
Hello, The bottle cage is the VEL Carbon-I Bottle Cage > www.sigmasports.com/item/VEL/Carbon-I-Bottle-Cage/L1E4 In regards to rim or disc it does come down to personal opinion a lot but disc brakes are much better in the wet weather, they prolong the life of your wheels and they are also more powerful! I hope this helps but please let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks, Lucy
@@sigmasports Thanks for help!!
If I was single I would buy one. Tomorrow. But..... s - 1.
Also, can you set it up not quite that slammed? Fit is always a potential issue with integrated cockpit.
Matt isn't trying to sell this bike to us, is he?
