The Bianchi Oltre Race 105 Di2 is Bianchi’s “accessible aero” machine. Introduced as the direct successor to the highly popular Aria, the Oltre Race brings the striking, wind-cheating design language of Bianchi’s flagship Oltre RC down to a more attainable price point. Available in Celeste, it looks incredibly fast even when standing still.
For this build, Bianchi has equipped the full-carbon frame with Shimano's 105 Di2 12-speed electronic groupset. This ensures lightning-fast, precise shifting with minimal effort, and completely eliminates the need for mechanical shift cables. Paired with a fully integrated cockpit that hides the brake hoses from the wind, the Oltre Race offers a remarkably clean silhouette that slices through the air while maintaining a geometry that is comfortable enough for long weekend Gran Fondos.

Key Highlights
Aero-Optimized Integration: The biggest upgrade over the outgoing Aria is the fully internal cable routing (ICR). The brake hoses run cleanly through the Acros/FSA headset, reducing aerodynamic drag and giving the bike the premium, uncluttered look of a superbike.
Shimano 105 Di2: Electronic shifting is a game-changer for aero bikes. Not only does it make the shifting completely effortless and incredibly precise, but the 50/34T front chainrings paired with an 11-34T cassette give a 1:1 climbing gear, meaning this "flatland" aero bike can comfortably tackle steep mountain passes.
Versatile Geometry: While the tube shapes scream "racing," the geometry is surprisingly balanced. It provides an aggressive enough position to cut through the wind without forcing you into the extreme, back-breaking posture required by pure professional race bikes.
Triathlon Ready: The reversible carbon aero seatpost offers a massive +/- 35mm of adjustment. This allows you to push the saddle far forward, making it incredibly easy to bolt on a set of clip-on aero bars and convert the Oltre Race into a highly capable time trial or triathlon bike.
