@@galenkehler they haven't eliminated it tho they've just got rid of the cheap, easy to buy and use spacers and just pointed the stem upwards instead of it being level, it now looks like a late 80's mtb stem fitted to road bike that's too small for its owner.
haha yes. I was a hardcore fan of bianchi but their behavior makes me hate them. They sell still aria model with cables outside the frame. Even some chaper models from other companies are more beautifull than aria. Here in Greece we can't even order cause of that global crisis bs which are their excuse. Never again bianchi.

@@GCPerformance18 it is a two piece plug you can mount and dismount on the inside of the handlebar by your own by two screws. A clever system, but be careful not to over-tighten the screws or the plastic may break.

Annoying UCI. Why nothing should be added to frame? Is it a safety concern that the added piece can potentially fly off and injure someone? Aren’t bottle cages added piece? Or extra piece can scratch someone else? Aren’t disc brake in this category?
I love the way modern bike design is headed. There are so many good looking straight up sexy designs and this is one of them. The way the Bianchi blue pops on that matte paint is fantastic.
BIANCHI OLTRE PRO 🙂 i remember seeing somewhere gps mount style is the a plug that plugup the handlebar hole... to me 12k for approx 8kg bike with pmeter + pedal + bottle cage + gps mount is kinda meh...
@@GCPerformance18 yep found the video that shows it th-cam.com/users/shorts36IJqAV2H0k LOL lets build a one piece bar with a hole so we can be aero so the air can channel thru, oh u want a gps mount...lets plug that aero air hole🤣
Yes, the computer mount goes through the hole. They ruined the front end IMO for the sake of the wind tunnel. There isn't a rider in the world who would spend $12k or $15k and not put a computer on there...and therefore plug the funky hole . May as well have flatten the whole thing and given us a fancy manufacturer supplied computer mount. Just my opinion. Rest of the bike looks dope, though.
TT bikes used to have the riders arm flat almost like the superman position but now they are higher and point upright…time moves on and changes happen 🚴🏼😊
@@GCPerformance18 Yes and I’m sure there’s been tonnes of research and testing by Bianchi as they haven’t just come up with an idea and applied it without the science etc 🚴🏼👍🏻.
@@GCPerformance18 For me, the Bianchi stem rises way too much. I'm fine with the Cervelo one because it is relatively flat, compared with the Bianchi one.
I'm very curious to how it rides compared to like a Scott or something. I heard some people say that the carbon layups on some brands suck the energy from your legs especially in sprints.
It does look nice but the steep stem makes me think they should have just flattened it.
Hi Hambini 😁

handsdown!

This is the worst looking high end race bike on the market. It's also gimmicky and full of proprietary nonsense.

Can't I just flip my stem, angled upwards and save 9K? Hideous.
@RealSweetKid Well, each their own. I like riding shit that looks cool to me. Makes me feel that much better. This ain't it.
Sorry Bianchi, this is the ugliest bike in pro peloton I've ever seen😢
this bike changed my mind once seeing it in person
Yet another bike for a bored middle aged CEO going through his 3rd divorce. It will really impress his buddies perched on the back of his BMW XM.

@@agentcooper6361 yep just butthurt all about it, cry over it in a corner snowflake. Buy some cheap brand then
The whole community considers a positive stem angle as unprofessionally looking. Bianchi: don’t care, we go 35° positive.
The "tall head tube, 3"spacers, -17⁰ stem is such a strange thing. Why go up so high just to come back down?
@@galenkehler Because the steerer tube is exceptionally short. I don't see any aerodynamic reason, just design, and in this case just "different" but not beautiful or aggressive or so.

yes this is the truth I thoguht the same thing when I saw this biek in photos and then when Is aw in person I fell in love
I'd pick the Eurobike over this monstrosity
really??? I kind of like this frame
12K for 7.5Kg? rip-off... aero is just a marketing term... width of rider versus bike... aero is a joke...
Don't like the handlebar and stem.
They snap off easily and can then be replaced with someting nicer.
One thing I wish they would have done is go for a full teal colorway. The 90% black 10% teal colorway just doesn't quite pop out to me like they were hoping.
Celeste
Teal? No.
The 3rd tier model is almost full Celeste.
that would go hard
Bike is total chate.

GC: " . . . and much more firm in my hands then expected, . . ." --->> When Bike Porn goes too far! No wonder it's UCI Illegal!
Those spacers... shouldn't be allowed. That stem needs to be slammed. No excuses
Imagine being a pro rider and your team says 'here's your new bike for this season', and it's the new Bianchi Oltra.
hahahah I would love it
"fastest aerobike" bro this is an abomination with that stem😭
hahahha
Looks like that Bianchi is on a full dose of the blue pill.
hahahha
Your review is great as usual.
However I am not joining any guillable cult! That fairing is a joke!
To be honest, it doesn’t matter how fast it claims to be. It’s still ugly AF
hahhaha
This bike makes me love my 2020 Propel even more...
lmfao, hell no not with that ugly ass stem
Change the propel stem with a defy stem
We are in a world where road bikes are 15k. I would not be shocked if they become closer to 20 K
1000 percent i only see it getting mroe expcensive I mean look where they came from back in the day 5k was considered expensive and now they are here with pricing
@@GCPerformance18 i wish some of them goes bankrupt like Nokia.
how many years are we going to have to deal with all these boring matte black paint schemes on high end bikes?
Agree 100%. No creativity any more.
thats the ugliest expensive road bike Ive ever seen
its kind of growing on me
Bianchi has definitely gone down hill since the launch of the Oltre XR4. This is a horrible design
I reall ylike the look of this bike
nsfw alert 4:56
but really why is the bar hole smaller than the S5's bar hole? LOL
such an ugly handelbar
hahahahha, I do not know why it is smaler, but cant complain I like small holes lol
no no no just no!
Digging the frame, but really hate the handlebar look.
If only one could just chuck on the Cervelo bar onto that frame.
I don’t get the stem angle at all. It’s stupid.
yea it should be more aimed down
Very light, better double check all of the handlebar is there. Hugo found the handlebars jetison at will! 😂
hahahah, I know, it might be too stiff of a bar that caused it to crash but tey are not making these bikes to be crash proof
Submariner looks good bro
thanks so much!! it is a sub date
more expensive than my car! lol
yes this is the case for many of us
looks aweful tbh
issa a prefference thing
Italians are known for being high class designers. Guess they’ve lost the battle from the aero police.
I think it looks slick
@@GCPerformance18 so many people, so many opinions 👍
It looks like a disfigured S5 to me. Strong dislike on my part.
thats what ewveryone is saying, with the handlebars and everything
The quick release handle comes off to put in pocket or bag.
yes I have seen this, other ocmpanies do this
Oh, isn’t it a one an a half handlebar pirate?
it's illegal because the handlebar snap like an old stick?
hahhaa because of the clip on fenders on the side
and here I am, trying to justify a 5k bike.............
we have somethign we have to justify to ourselfs
How much does the Oltre RC top range weigh? Less than 7.5kg?
the bar mount for computer/navigation is part of the delivered bike

Looks like you driving bus 🚃 with this bike 😮
It's definitely different which is good - we should encourage innovation. Is it cool? Yes. Does it look fugly to me? Yes.
thats what I am saying this is only benefit to consumer, they are not forced to buy this one but this pushes other manufactorers to try other things
No more RapiLock style axles? 😢
That stem man, I would sacrifice the minimal aero gain for a -17° slammed stem
hahahah but if you cant hold that aero position for long there is no point, your only as aero for as long as you can hold it
Aero frame but you can't get the stem as low as with a normal bar/stem! Brilliant! 🤦♂️

In Australia, the Oltre Pro comes with 28mm tires and a bike computer can be mounted on top of the handle bar stem, not in front of it I believe.
this one myight have the mount in th eparts box I do not know, it could be stashed away inside the store

Cuanto vale en dolares ,,a ver

hahahaha
In the UK the PRO version come with Sram Force and not Red. So probs an added 300g of weight to make it 7.8kg, plus 28mm tyres so probs 7.9kg in total
thats wild, i find it funny how they spec them differently
too much going on.... that stem/cockpit tho
lmfao whats up dude
