VIRATA

The Virata is a distinctive elite bike that goes its own way to deliver a spine-tingling, secenery-blurring ride.
The frame is superlight and full of life, thanks to a main triangle of precision-shaped Dedacci EOM steel
tubing (with wall thicknesses as thin as 0.45mm) mated to Dedaccai's Black Tail 2/Black Box carbon stays.
You get absolute solidity on climbs and twisty decents, at a ghostly sub-19 pound weight.  If you're the
kind of rider who dosn't always go along with what everyone is doing, the Virata could be your soul mate.

Highlights:  Dedacciai-tubed frame** (EOM steel main triangle, carbon stays).  Bianchi carbon fork (with
carbon steerer).  SRAM Rival 20-speed components.  Mavic Ksyrium Equipe wheels.

**Dedacciai EOM 16.5
 Dedacciai has engineered special tubing expressly for Bianchi with a special type of steel. It is a HSLA
(High Strength Low Alloy) micro-alloyed material, commercial acronym 18MCDV6HT, which has an
incredible tensile strength threshold at 1.400 N/mm2. Dedacciai tubing for Bianchi are triple-butted with
special profiles like LTP (Low Torsion Profile), developed to reduce weight and lateral twisting of the frame
during acceleration, also by means of reinforcements of different size and gauge.
