Key Quotes
Bianchi Via Nirone 7 is a fine-looking machine

For the ride quality alone I would happily recommend it
BikeRadar logoBikeRadar
The Bianchi Via Nirone 7 Allroad isn't a bad all-round package, with a comfortable ride on or off the road and stable handling, but it's a heavy frame, let down by poor brakes and some cheap components when compared against the competition.

Bianchi Via Nirone 7 Claris review

Aug 2018 · Simon Withers

Lovely looking frame delivers a beautiful smooth ride that belies its modest price. Buy if you want one of the best-quality fast-riding bikes available at the price. Oh, and Bianchi’s Celeste looks a dream!

Highs
  • An unbelievably smooth and comfortable ride for aluminium, and a great-looking frame

Lows
  • The usual average brakes and wheels, 31.6mm aluminium seatpost

Comfortable cruiser but feels heavy on the open road and really requires an update to the brakes
