The Bianchi Via Nirone 7 is an iconic entry-point into the world of Italian cycling performance. Named after the address of Edoardo Bianchi’s first workshop in Milan, this bike is engineered around a dedicated Endurance Geometry. The frame is constructed from triple-butted 7000-series aluminium with hydroformed tube shapes, ensuring a responsive ride that doesn't sacrifice long-distance comfort. It is the ideal choice for riders beginning their road journey or those seeking a dependable, stylish machine for gran fondos and club rides.
The model is a classic representation of Bianchi’s heritage, finished in their signature Celeste paint. This build utilizes the Shimano Sora 2x9 drivetrain, providing a wide gear range that is perfect for tackling varied terrain and steep climbs. To enhance the ride quality, Bianchi has equipped the Nirone 7 with a carbon fibre fork featuring Kevlar Vibration Isolating (K-VID) technology, which helps filter out road buzz from the front end, reducing rider fatigue over several hours in the saddle.

Key Technologies
K-VID (Kevlar Vibration Isolating): The addition of Kevlar inserts in the fork tips helps dampen high-frequency vibrations from the road surface.
Triple-Butted Aluminum: Variable wall thicknesses within the frame tubes reduce weight where strength isn't needed and increase it at high-stress junctions.
Endurance Geometry: A slightly higher head tube and shorter top tube allow for a more upright, sustainable riding position compared to pure racing frames.
Internal Cable Routing: Protects cables from the elements and provides a cleaner, more aerodynamic appearance for the front triangle.
