Bianchi Arcadex Shimano GRX RX600 1X11 - 2023

The Arcadex gravel bike seamlessly merges an emotional connection with nature and the adrenaline-pumping essence of Bianchi's racing DNA, delivering unparalleled performance tailored for the modern gravel rider.

Crafted from sculpted carbon fiber, the frame of the Arcadex exhibits exceptional responsiveness, instantly responding as you engage the pedals—whether embarking on explorative rides or satisfying your competitive drive. It harnesses off-road capability while encompassing the speed and aesthetics reminiscent of your beloved road bike. With tire clearance for 700×42 or 650×47, it caters to gravel enthusiasts seeking swift adventures.

Serving as a conduit between human spirit and the natural world, the Arcadex amplifies every sensation, enhancing colors' vividness and fostering camaraderie among fellow riders. This bike fosters an immediate connection to the pure joy of cycling and empowers you to perform at your peak, irrespective of terrain. It magnifies everything; nature becomes intensified.

Inspired by Arcadia (Ἀρκαδία), the mythical region in Greek and Roman lore associated with visions of natural harmony, the name 'Arcadex' embodies this essence.

Bianchi's hallmark attention to detail transcends into the gravel domain. The frame's aerodynamic design maximizes performance, while accommodating 700×42 or 650×47 tires ensures adaptability to tackle any rugged terrain.

Featuring eyelets for mudguards, the Arcadex easily transforms into a high-speed bikepacking machine. The frame integrates better, fortifying against mud and grime ingress.

Capable of running manual or electric drivetrains, equipped with an ACR compatible headset and a seamlessly streamlined connection between frame and stem via custom head tube and spacers, the result is a sleek, fully integrated cockpit for an enhanced riding experience.

Available in two color options inspired by untamed wilderness—the gold storm or classic celeste—both paired with 'blue note,' a luxurious accent color. The paint design and graphics exude dynamism and progress, making the bike seamlessly blend into its environment, appearing fast even when stationary.
