Bianchi's new Infinito pushes all-rounder firmly into gravel-lite territory

Heritage brand Bianchi introduced the latest version of its Infinito all-road model and after going conservative with the previous version, the one unveiled today is squarely at the forefront of trends in the all-road category. Tire clearance is now 40 mm (with slicks, says Bianchi), up from 32 mm on the previous version, and there's a revised Countervail technology that Bianchi says is 20% lighter but retains its vibration absorption properties. The geometry sees a shift to a taller stack and longer chainstays (and thus, wheelbase) as well as a zero offset seat post for a slightly more forward position. There's a downtube storage box, and the bike uses a UDH derailleur attachment. Bianchi says the bike will work with both road and gravel groupsets. The range features seven sizes from 47–61 cm and starts from €2,790 with a Shimano 105 mechanical groupset. Bikes are available now. [Bianchi]
