Bianchi has recently unveiled the all-new and redesigned version of their adventure gravel bike, the Arcadex. This updated model comes with enhanced features such as improved tire clearance, internal cable routing, and innovative in-frame storage. Inspired by Bianchi’s lightweight gravel race bike, the Impulso, the Arcadex is crafted to elevate both aesthetics and performance for riders.
The revamped Arcadex now offers greater tire clearance, allowing for tires up to 700 x 50mm to be fitted. Additionally, it boasts new in-frame storage with a compact glovebox located in the downtube, offering a designated space for essential tools. This enhancement caters specifically to bikepackers in search of a reliable adventure companion.
The new endurance gravel geometry of the Arcadex ensures improved performance and a comfortable fit for a wide range of cyclists. Bianchi has fine-tuned the Stack and Reach measurements across all sizes to provide a more stable and versatile riding experience. Constructed with a full carbon frame and fork, the bike features internal cable routing through an Acros headset, compatible with both mechanical and hydraulic lines.
For riders looking for custom options, Bianchi offers the Arcadex in two variations: Pro and Comp. The Pro version can be outfitted with electronic SRAM Apex+GX Eagle AXS or mechanical Shimano GRX 12sp, while the Comp version is available with either mechanical Apex Eagle or a lower spec Shimano GRX 12sp.
To complement the Arcadex, new bikepacking bags are also introduced, including the Orma 01 1L bolt-on top tube bag, Orma 03 waterproof 3L partial frame bag, Orma 07 waterproof 7L saddlepack, and Orma 09 waterproof 9L dual-rolltop handlebar pack.
The all-new Arcadex is currently available for purchase at authorized Bianchi dealers, with prices starting at 3000€ for the Comp builds and 4200€ for the Pro builds.
