Don't know why not a few brands stick to BB86 now SRAM AXS is so popular. The lack of Shimano official BB may hurt a bit though.

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo of cycling. :D

But seriously, we all want innovation in the cycling space, so this is what it looks like. Scoops and spoilers.

The oh so stringent UCI rules are designed to protect us from these nightmares. Look what happens when they are loosened just a bit. :lol:

Well the low tier one in Celeste without the air intake and one piece handlebar is not that bad looking

What is wrong with this industry? Checking the calendar to make sure it's not April 1st. Out on a group ride, get caught in the rain. So now all the shit on the road is inside the bike? I guess there is an exhaust pipe too. No problem, we can clean it all with pipe cleaners.

Why the DT is not hugging the front wheel like the ST does... The whole bike lacks coherence, almost like a last-minute effort...

I want to see a youtube video of someone picking bees and aphids out of their bianchi intake with a screwdriver!

Makes me wonder if some of the geniuses from Canyon somehow ended up at Bianchi...

I like the bike from the side, but the front shot is bad. I don't even mind the fairings (probably an aero detail to help guide/attach airflow around the headtube?), but the handlebar doesn't match with shape of the rest of the bike. Frame is angular/edgy but the bars are more an organic form including this strange Isoflow-like hole.

To obviously increase cooling of the brakes.
