tail with race ready’ geometry helping riders gain a competitive advantage in speed and agility – to rail every singletrack turn, and nail every drop, even at full race speed.
Constructed using Bianchi’s advanced carbon fibre lay-up technology, the Nitron frame uses highly-tuned tube profiles, from the headtube to the dropouts. Nitron features an outstanding stiffness to weight ratio, pinpoint steering and sublime levels of rider comfort for long hours in the saddle and available in four sizes: 15, 17, 19 and 21 inches. Every rider can achieve a perfect fit. BB92 bottom bracket, tapered headtube, Boost 148 standard and 429mm short chainstays work together to create a direct pedalling platform and achieve the best power transfer.
