Bianchi Arcadex Comp Apex Disc 1x12sp

The Bianchi Arcadex Comp is a gravel bike designed for those who wish to explore new routes with a versatile, reliable, and high-performance machine. Ideal for sport gravel riding, light bikepacking, long rides on unpaved roads, and mixed asphalt-dirt use, it combines the racing DNA of Bianchi with a modern geometry and a robust build, engineered to deliver control, comfort, and great adaptability.

The Arcadex Comp frame is designed to ensure stability on rough terrain, precise handling, and broad compatibility with generous tires. The wheel clearance up to ETRTO 622-50 allows for fitting ample tires to increase grip, comfort, and safety on gravel, while the integrated cable routing contributes to a clean and modern aesthetic. The carbon fiber fork helps to keep weight down and improves vibration absorption, making the bike more comfortable even on longer rides.

The SRAM Apex 1x drivetrain is a solution particularly well-suited for gravel thanks to its simplicity, reliability, and wide gear range. The 40-tooth chainring paired with the 11-50T cassette allows for effectively tackling both fast sections and the most challenging climbs, offering a very wide range and intuitive shifting management even on the most varied routes.

The SRAM Apex braking system with 160 mm front and rear rotors ensures powerful and controllable braking in all conditions, both on asphalt and on dirt. The Fulcrum RapidRed 900 2-Way Fit Ready wheels add further versatility, thanks to compatibility with both clincher and tubeless tires, and pair perfectly with the 45 mm Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M tires, ideal for achieving traction, comfort, and safety on mixed terrain.

The cockpit is also designed for modern gravel use: the Velomann aluminum stem and the gravel handlebar with 16° flare improve control and stability in the drops, especially on more technical sections. The Velomann carbon seatpost further contributes to increasing comfort over long distances, while the Velomann MITORA saddle completes a balanced and functional setup.

The Bianchi Arcadex Comp is therefore the ideal choice for those seeking a modern, concrete gravel bike, ready to accompany every ride with great reliability. It is perfect for the cyclist who wants a machine capable of effortlessly tackling unpaved roads, damaged asphalt, flowing trails, and long-range adventures.
