2027 Bianchi Impulso PRO Rival XPLR 1x13sp

The new Impulso family is Bianchi's answer to gravel riders seeking speed on any type of terrain, from dirt to gravel, from mud to asphalt. Bianchi's Reparto Corse designed the new Impulso platform to meet the needs of the most competitive gravel riders, those who demand aerodynamic performance, lightweight performance, and off-road versatility from their bikes.

The Impulso frame features a progressive geometry, inspired by the stability and performance of cross-country racing MTBs. Compared to the Specialissima RC, the Impulso features a shorter stem and a longer reach. The long 1,025mm wheelbase ensures safety and stability even on the roughest sections. Additionally, we evaluated various options for the bottom bracket drop of the new Impulso family, ultimately opting for a 70mm drop: the goal is to offer the cyclist maximum control and a more aggressive feel in the saddle.

• The Impulso frame can fit tires up to 42mm wide, but the use of thin tires helps expel mud and debris when conditions and the route require it.
