Bianchi D2 CRONO CARBON

The Barloworld team will use this model in the individual time trial of the fifth stage at Tirreno-Adriatico

The Barloworld team at Tirreno-Adriatico has faced Sunday’s individual time trial from Macerata to Recanati (stage five, 26 km) in the saddle of their brand-new Bianchi D2 Crono Carbon.
The latest generation of the Bianchi D2 Crono frame is made of high-modulus carbon fibre nanotechnology. The project for this new frame centered around the geometry, the aerodynamics and the research for ultimate rigidity: the quintessential features for this kind of frame.

The seat tube has an angle of 76° and a unique “multiposition” seat post. The head tube has reduced dimensions and is designed so that the rider can obtain an “extreme” but perfect position. The top tube has been reduced in dimensions, too, and positioned low to decrease air flow. These characteristics make this frame perfect for time trials.
A special care has been devoted to the chain stays which are oversized and perforated to ensure better aerodynamics and maximal rigidity; in fact, the perforations enlarge the surface of the stays and make them more rigid.
The horizontal rear drop-outs are built to minimize the distance between the rear wheel and the seat tube, reducing the turbulence between the lenticular rear wheel and the oversize seat tube.
The weight of the frame is amazing: 1,35 kg, which is extremely light for an aerodynamic frame.
The Super Aero full carbon forks, in high-modulus carbon fibres using nanotechnology is designed to exploit aerodynamic and fluid air motion technology, vital elements for top-class performances. The carbon blades are straight and winged, oversized at the top for a perfect synergy with the head tube and the down tube. The final weight is 450 g.
Moreover, the Bianchi D2 Crono Carbon bicycles have an appealing design that will attract attention for sure.
