Bianchi Speciallisima 2017 update??

[Conradsleight]

Hi all,

I noticed that Bianchi Canada recently dropped the MSRP price of the Speciallisima on their site by $500, from $7499 to $6999. It seems like this could be an effort to clear inventory, especially since it's not been around since summer 2015. What do we think are the chances of a new model coming out this year? I also noticed that the Oltre XR4 has direct mount brakes while the Speciallisima doesn't, so maybe this would be a pert of an update?

Thoughts?

Or, maybe a disc version...?
