Summary
The Bianchi Specialissima is celebrated for its lightweight carbon frame, exceptional climbing and handling capabilities, and beautiful design. It features advanced technologies like Countervail vibration-damping carbon and is available in a wide size range with pro-proven geometry. However, its conservative tire clearance and high price point are noted drawbacks.

Just judging by the reaction that the Specialissima got wherever it was ridden, Bianchi definitely got the bike’s aesthetic nailed. The number of compliments, questions and just general interest in the Celeste-lathered bike was impressive and a true conversation starter.
