The Arcadex gravel bike perfectly combines an emotional communion with nature, and the exhilarating rush of Bianchi racing DNA. It delivers distinct performance for the modern gravel rider.
The sculpted carbon fibre frame is incredibly responsive, so the Arcadex is primed to perform as soon as you push on the pedals – whether riding to explore, or indulging your competitive spirit. Take off-road capability, combine it with the speed and aesthetics you love about your road bike, then you have the arcadex.
Integrated Look
The clean lines of the bike are maintained with all hydraulic cables routed internally and the dedicated alloy seatpost has been developed for the ultimate streamlined, integrated look. Talking of streamlined, the alloy stem and spacers have been created by Bianchi for a better head tube connection, the 1 1/8” to 1.5” head tube providing stability at speed and under braking.
The characteristics of the bike are maintained across the frame sizes. The chainstay length of 415mm for the 47-57cm frames and 420mm for the largest 59cm and 61cm models means that the bike behaves the same no matter what size you choose.
Ride gravel, faster
The frame design has been aerodynamically optimised for performance, while clearance for 700×42 or 650×47 tyres delivers more than enough scope to tackle any rough terrain you might choose.
Unlock new experiences
Naturally you’ll find eyelets for mudguards, so the Arcadex can be easily transformed into a high-speed bikepacking machine.
