New for the 2024 season! Aerodynamic performance, low weight, and off-road capability — these are the defining features of the renewed Impulso family, which includes the RC, Pro, and Comp versions. There's something here for every type of rider.
The new Impulso line is Bianchi’s answer for those seeking speed across all types of terrain — from hard-packed dirt and loose gravel to occasional paved sections or asphalt. A gravel bike fully ready to race.
Bianchi Impulso Comp - For riders with racing ambitions
For those entering the world of gravel racing, the Impulso Comp is the perfect companion. Its carbon frame is paired with Fulcrum RapidRed 900 aluminum wheels and features the Velomann Mitora saddle, supported by a carbon seatpost. The drivetrain is powered by Shimano’s GRX 610 groupset with a GRX 820 front derailleur.
The progressive frame geometry is inspired by Bianchi’s racing mountain bike range. It features a shorter stem compared to the Specialissima RC, but with a longer reach to ensure greater stability.
The Impulso frame accommodates tires up to 42 mm wide, offering more stable rides over rougher terrain. With a bottom bracket drop of 70 mm, it delivers maximum control and versatility in any challenge.
The Impulso Comp comes equipped with Shimano’s 12-speed GRX 610 groupset.
Finished in a sleek glossy design, it’s available in the iconic Celeste or a premium gold-brown color inspired by the rich tones of the forest.
