Picton Cycles in Liverpool tell us they have the range topping Bianchi Oltre 4 in store at a bargain price
Bargain: Bianchi Oltre 4 from Picton Cycles
Post Brexit, the prices of a lot of products haven risen, including those from Bianchi, but those looking for a range topping bike can find a bargain at Picton Cycles (Liverpool).
They have a 53cm Bianchi Oltre 4 with Campagnolo Chorus priced at £4,700, a saving of £500 on the normal price of this model and spec.
The range topping Oltre has always been Bianchi’s most aerodynamic and stiffest road bike, but the Bianchi Oltre XR4 takes both of these properties to new levels, all thanks to Countervail – dedicated tuning of Countervail within the carbon lay-up of every tube provides maximised aero advantage and control at high speeds.
The Oltre XR4 was designed to be at the absolute cutting edge of aerodynamics thanks to advanced CFD and Flow Visualisation – technologies borrowed straight from aerospace and F1 design. When combined with advanced analysis, the resulting data enabled Bianchi to achieve a significant aerodynamic saving of a massive 20 watts over their already hugely efficient XR2 frameset.
