The Bianchi Sprint 105 Di2 12sp is a dedicated carbon race machine that revives one of the most iconic names in cycling history with a modern, high-performance edge. For 2026, the Sprint remains the definitive "gateway" racer, designed for riders who want an aggressive, fast-handling platform without the astronomical price tag of the Oltre or Specialissima. The frame is a lightweight carbon monocoque with a racing-specific geometry that places the rider in a powerful, aerodynamic position perfect for criteriums, club races, or chasing personal bests on rolling terrain.
This specific build features the Shimano 105 Di2 electronic groupset, which has become the industry benchmark for precise, lightning-fast shifting at an enthusiast level. One of the standout updates for the 2026 model year is the increased tire clearance—now officially supporting up to 32mm, allowing you to run wider rubber for improved cornering grip and vibration damping on less-than-perfect roads. The Sprint is a head-turning Italian thoroughbred that balances heritage with cutting-edge tech.

Key Technologies
ICR (Internal Cable Routing): For 2026, the Sprint features fully integrated cable routing through the headset, providing a sleek, aero front end that mimics Bianchi's top-tier race bikes.
105 Di2 Electronic Shifting: Provides a semi-wireless cockpit and instinctive shifting performance that remains consistent regardless of weather or cable stretch.
Full Carbon Dropout: Reduces weight and increases the overall stiffness of the rear triangle for better power transfer during sprints.
Neutral Fast Road Geometry: Offers a "racy" feel that is slightly more approachable than the extreme Oltre RC, making it suitable for both competitive racing and high-intensity club rides.
