This SL model also incorporates Bianchi's ""Ti NET"" technology, which strengthens the frames downtube for increased impact resistance and longer frame life Features FrameMethanol 27 SL, High Modulus Monocoque Carbon Fibre, Ti Net, ERC, DFIS TypeCross Country Recommended Max Fork Travel100mm Bottom Bracket TypePF30 Headset DimensionTapered 1 18" 1.5" Headset TypeIntegrated compatible with FSA orbit 1.5ZS Disc Brake StandardPost Mount for 160mm rotor Front Derailleur TypeLow direct mount or high clamp diam. 34 9mm, bottom pull Rear Hub Compatibility12x142mm Shimano E Thru, axle not included Recommended Tyre Size Compatible with 27.5x2 25" tyres Seatpost DiameterFully integrated with frame Internal Cable Routing Yes Shimano Di2 compatible Weight1185g 5%, 19" sizeTechnologies Asymmetrical Rear Stays Optimized rear stays design to obtain a very compact and reactive rear triangle without sacrificing the chainline clearance. It fits different chainrings combinations and it is optimized to improve power transmission on the driveside. This design also offers increased power reactivity and pedalling performance ERC Embedded Reinforcement Construction Reinforcement carbon ribs are embedded into the main tubes profiles. The increased torsional stiffness of the head tube and the Bottom Bracket area and the crank frame interface becomes stronger Ti NET Titanium Net Technology A titanium net is molded together with carbon fibre in the down tube. The net acts as a barrier to protect the frame from possible impacts with stonesmaterial thrown by the front wheel. It also brings increased impact resistance and frame lifetime TWT Triple Wall Tube TWT construction allows Bianchi to lay up the composite material plies to form 3 thin walls which are then molded together to form a bond less monocoque laminate tube Increased strength and stiffness to weight ratio Improved reactivity and ride control SAS Shock Assorbing Stays Special designed rear stays with S shape are laminated with carbon and glass fibers. This offers enhanced absorption of the vertical shocks on the rear drop outs without weakening the lateral and torsional stiffness of the frame.
