Bianchi Oltre XR4 Dura Ace Fulcrum Racing 418 2020 - Road Bike

The Oltre XR4 engineered with countervail is a bike driven to perform. Its precision handling, combined with vibration-cancelling bianchi CV system, provides incomparable control. Perfect power transfer means every watt you push through the pedals takes you closer to the win. If you want it bad enough, the Oltre XR4 is the tool to take you to the top

Cutting Edge of Aerodynamics

Oltre xr4 is designed with advanced cfd (computational fluid dynamics) simulation software to predict the impact of aerodynamic drag and is wind tunnel tested

Flow Visualization

A special fluorescent paint (borrowed form f1 car design) is flown over the frame and fork’s surfaces at race speed. The interpretation of their trace patterns and intensity reveal the aerodynamic performance of every aspect.

Engineered with bianchi cv system

Oltre is engineered with the Bianchi CV System with the use of Countervail® carbon material to cancel the road vibration. The result is in a smooth ride and a racer who can stay focused in his fastest, most efficient aerodynamic position for longer.

What is countervail®?

The key technology Countervail® is a carbon composite-material system that combines patented structural carbon with viscoelastic resin.

Bianchi CV integrated vibration cancelling system

Bianchi collaborated with Materials Sciences Corporation to develop our innovative and exclusive use of the MSC’s patented Countervail® integrated vibration cancelling system for cycling.

Countervail® is a carbon composite-material system that, with special fiber architecture, combines patented structural carbon with viscoelastic resin. Countervail® cancels 80% of vibrations while increasing the stiffness and strength of our carbon frames and forks.

Countervail® is embedded within the entire frame of Bianchi CV high-performance road and MTB models: Specialissima, Oltre XR4, Oltre XR3, Infinito CV, Aquila CV and Methanol CV.

Proven in NASA aerospace operations

Traditional passive damping in frames using superficial rubber inserts and isolators are marginally effective compared to the integrated carbon Countervail® system developed by Bianchi for cycling and proven in the extreme conditions of NASA aerospace operations.

Occasionally, without notice, manufacturers change product design and/or specifications.
