This launch celebrates the new multi-year agreement between Bianchi and A.S.O., sealing a historic partnership. From Coppi to Gimondi to Pantani, the Italian brand and the Tour have forged a legendary history together. In 2026, Team Bahrain Victorious will aim to write a new chapter on these legendary bikes. To mark the occasion, Bianchi has reimagined its Specialissima RC in a collector’s edition designed as a living tribute.

Each bike is numbered and assembled by the Reparto Corse, guaranteeing total exclusivity. This model will be on display throughout the Tour in the start village and at Casa Bianchi in Milan. In terms of performance, the Specialissima RC aims for excellence on all terrains: flat roads, climbs, and descents. It features the new Countervail technology, which absorbs vibrations without sacrificing stiffness.

The RC 49R carbon wheels, accented in yellow, offer comfort, efficiency, and a 49 mm profile. The Prologo saddle, created specifically for this edition, features the four iconic jerseys of the Tour. The cockpit is adorned with black and yellow tape, a bold nod to the Yellow Jersey. The livery, entirely hand-painted, blends the colors of the Tour’s classifications into a unique design.

Metallic yellow, pure white, deep green, and red polka dots: a true aesthetic statement. The official Tour logo adorns the seat tube, while the numbering appears beneath the paint. Each buyer receives a premium welcome kit, including a 1:12 scale replica handcrafted in Italy. A collector’s item that reflects Bianchi’s heritage and global ambition.
The Specialissima RC Tour de France Limited Edition is priced at €12,900.
