Bianchi Impulso
Bianchi’s Market Leading Gravel Race Bike
The stunning Bianchi Impulso family is the perfect choice for those seeking speed in gravel riding, no matter the terrain—whether it’s hard-packed dirt, loose gravel, or rugged back lanes. The Impulso beautifully balances lightweight construction, aerodynamic performance and off-road capability to deliver a thrilling, superfast ride.
Gravel bikes have evolved significantly in recent years, splitting into two distinct categories: those designed for speed on mixed terrain—whether for competition or the sheer thrill of fast riding—and those built to handle rougher terrain while fully loaded with bikepacking gear, allowing riders to explore further afield. The first category is often referred to as gravel race bikes, while the second is known as gravel adventure bikes.
The Bianchi Impulso firmly belongs to the first category, while its new sibling, the Arcadex, sits in the second. In redesigning the Impulso, Bianchi aimed to push the limits of how fast a gravel bike can be. The range includes three models – RC, Pro, and Comp – to cater to a variety of rider needs and budgets.
Gravel racing is both fast-paced and highly technical. Bianchi has meticulously optimised the Impulso to meet the demands of this discipline, treating every element as part of a cohesive system. This integrated approach reflects Bianchi’s design philosophy, balancing handling, lightweight construction, and aerodynamics to deliver peak performance.
For pure performance, the Bianchi Impulso frame features a clean, minimalist design, inspired by the sleek aerodynamic profiles of Bianchi’s road bikes. There are no extra mounts for multiple bags or bottles, nor any protruding bolts, to avoid adding unnecessary weight or drag. To further reduce weight and enhance ride quality, material has been removed from the rear seat stays, improving traction and rider comfort. Meanwhile, the front end incorporates deeper tube sections for maximum aerodynamic efficiency.
The Impulso’s tuned gravel geometry includes shorter stems and longer reach, echoing the design of elite cross-country mountain bikes. Additionally, the bottom bracket height and wheelbase have been optimized to deliver precise handling and rock-solid stability at high speeds.
The re-engineered Impulso frame enhances stiffness in key areas: the lower frame for improved power transfer and the head tube for precise handling. The Impulso RC model uses high-modulus fibres for maximum responsiveness, while the Pro and Comp models feature a carbon layup designed to deliver slightly more comfort and compliance — yet still offer a nimble, agile ride. All models share the same frame design and tube shapes, with clearance for 42mm gravel tyres.
As well as two new builds (Ekar and Rival XPLR), Bianchi have introduced three new colours – Metallic Celeste Camo, Ruby Red Camo, and Aqua Green:
The Impulso follows in the footsteps of the latest Oltre and Specialissima road models, featuring an integrated fork and head tube for significantly improved aerodynamics. This integration delivers the most impactful reduction in drag across the entire Impulso system. Tube shapes throughout the frame have been carefully optimised, with special attention to the head tube, seatpost, and fork. The seatpost features a D-shaped profile, offering greater comfort in the saddle compared to a standard NACA profile — perfect for tackling challenging mixed terrain.
The Pro and RC models feature new carbon wheels from Bianchi’s in-house Velomann range. The lightweight Velomann Terbium wheels on the Impulso Pro deliver an excellent balance of responsiveness, durability, and comfort. Meanwhile, the Reparto Corse 43mm deep wheels on the Impulso RC enhance aerodynamics and include ceramic bearings, offering the ultimate performance for gravel racing.
