Top Italian brand Bianchi has introduced a new, innovative gravel bike. The Arcadex, an addition to the current range, is a gravel bike designed for real adventure and, of course, beautiful bikepacking trips.
New features on the Bianchi Arcadex
Part of Bianchi's range alongside the competitively-oriented Impulso, this new model offers increased comfort for longer rides. Unique to the Arcadex are specific modifications such as an Internal Frame Storage (IFS) space in the downtube, directly under the front bottle cage. This space is equipped with a Velomann protective cover to keep the contents safe and stable.
Furthermore, the Arcadex's frame features multiple attachment points for additional water bottle cages or bikepacking bags. A matching set of bikepacking bags is also available, specially designed for this model. The frame's fine geometry promotes comfort by allowing a less aggressive riding position. An added convenience is the thrust axle lever, which also serves as a 4, 5 and 6 millimetre hex key, so you always have the necessary tools at hand.
Own bag line Orma
Arcadex has its own whole line of bags and accessories to equip your bike for the next bikepacking adventure. Or maybe just for a long day on the bike. All bags are waterproof, so waterproof.
- Orma 01: you can place these on the horizontal tube. With a one-litre capacity and a water-resistant exterior, this is handy for some small things.
- Orma 03: this three-litre capacity frame bag offers a lot of storage space. Waterproof again!
- Orma 07: the numbers tell a lot. This 7-litre capacity saddle bag is waterproof and hangs under the saddle. For a saddlebag, this is a small one. For reference, large bikepacking saddlebags are more often 10+ litres.
- Orma 09: the nine-litre handlebar bag is perfect for carrying a lot.
