Bianchi unveiled its vision for the aesthetic future of the Oltre RC, an innovation launched this Thursday, August 1st. Both colorways use the new graphic scheme, with a dominant color and an accent stripe on the head tube. Each also bears the Reparto Corse logo on the non-drive side of the down tube, a reminder that the Oltre RC comes from the company’s racing division.
The first of the new palettes (code ZE) is a contemporary reinterpretation of the brand’s iconic celeste. It combines the original CK16 tone with a sophisticated metallic version of the legendary pigment. This fusion of the essential and the avant-garde is amplified by a fully glossy finish, which highlights the contrast between the two.
With the Metallic Celeste colorway, Bianchi caters to long-time admirers of the brand, while expanding the appeal of its historic hue.
The second colorway, black (code ZW), is a futuristic interpretation combining exposed black raw carbon fiber with the aforementioned metallic celeste. The high-tech appearance reflects the Oltre RC’s advanced performance characteristics, with the bare construction material serving to draw the viewer into the frame. The reduced paint on the frame also serves to lighten the overall weight (60 gr +/- 5% less than the celeste version).
The Black Carbon UD colorway is aimed at performance-inspired riders. A matte finish is used to emphasize the bike’s technical complexity.
Both dynamic colorways will launch on August 1st and are available to order now. The Oltre RC is the aerodynamic bike used by Arkéa-B&B Hotels, which won the second stage of the Tour de France last month thanks to Kévin Vauquelin.
The two new Oltre RC colors are available and can be ordered, also as a frame/handlebar kit only, starting Thursday, August 1st, with the following suggested retail prices:
• Oltre RC | Shimano Dura Ace DI2: €13,499
• Oltre RC | Sram Red AXS: €13,499
• Frame kit (with handlebar and bike computer mount): €5,599
