"Most obviously, the Oltre is very light, and getting it up to speed isn’t so much a question of coaxing and cajoling – it’s just something that happens even when you’re not especially thinking about it."
"The meaty bottom bracket hangs tough when you get out of the saddle and start jumping on the pedals while the front end is equally solid with very little flex when you start hauling the bars about."

"And the
Bianchi’s loves to climb – it feels alive and exciting on the slopes and
is always up for a quick surge of pace."
"One thing we will say, though, is that we found the Oltre to be pretty

"Under sprints the Oltre takes off like a rocket, and climbing with this
little mass – especially in the wheels – is always going to be a
delight."
"Where the biggest surprise comes with the Oltre, though, is how it
delivers its razor sharp handling and superb connection to the road with
huge levels of comfort."

" It is amazing; a whole new paradigm in cycling. It makes every other bike seem pointless."
