When Infinito CV came, some guys wrote that CV Tech is not good, it's not in Oltre.
I hope those guys remember that. They ment Countervail will soak up input energy and make a bike slower.
I would take one with disc brakes and yes... it is beautiful.
There have been extensive testing done of muscle fatigue. Vibrations is one cause to it.
Even Canyon engineers wrote that in a few years it will be more comfort in frames as vibrations cause fatigue.
Main reason we also see wider diameter tires these days...

I'm loving the brighter shade of Celeste!! Not my usual type of bike at all but it is undoubtedly a very pretty bike indeed.

Good looking bike. Cannot imagine anyone complaining about being forced to ride that steed. I also like the lighter Bianchi green color over the traditional green color.

I love that bike so much but I cant help but feel they totally went all Cannondale on rewriting the brand so many times that it just looks silly. We get it, it's a Bianchi. One on the DT and MAYBE one on the fork is plenty!

Loving the colour and the fattened tubes. Looks much more the aero bike now.

Hope Tour test it against other bikes like the S5, love to see how it stands up.

Do want.


Maybe the black strip of paint on the top tube is so your eyes don't get burned out of your skull by a flouro celeste death ray on bright days :P

Don't care what anyone else thinks; this is the best looking bike I've seen for a while!

Not that expensive IMO considering the technology, the design, the patents, the heritage etc.
