BianchiOltre Race
The entry grade of Bianchi's Oltre aero line, meant to bring the look and feel of the Oltre RC to a wider range of riders. Its carbon aero frame has its own geometry in eight sizes from 44 to 61, takes mechanical or electronic groupsets and uses a conventional alloy stem and aero bar instead of the higher grades' one-piece cockpit. It comes with Shimano 105 or 105 Di2 on 30 mm alloy wheels.

Our verdict
Overall
out of 100, average of 6 categories
An affordable aero-styled Bianchi with a carbon frame, eight sizes and a standard stem and bar that make fitting easy. It shares the Oltre name and look rather than the RC's integrated front end, and the 30 mm alloy wheels and 105 groupsets put it firmly at the entry level.
