BIANCHI OLTRE RC MARCO PANTANI

In the summer of 1998, Marco Pantani and Bianchi delivered some of the most epic stage race performances of all time, taking stunning victories at both the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France. It's a feat that only seven cyclists have ever achieved, and it confirmed IL Pirata's place in cycling history and Italian culture.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Pantani's spectacular double Giro-Tour, we have created a very special commemorative edition of the Bianchi Oltre RC for 2023.

Our historic Bianchi Oltre RC edition is exquisitely finished in the exact same livery as the 1998 Bianchi MegaPro XL that Il Pirata rides during his incredible winning season. The frame and fork are carefully painted to reflect the spirit of those times. Even the famous Bianchi eagle head badge on the Oltre's head tube is a faithful recreation of the one that adorned Pantani's Grand Tour-winning bike.

The Bianchi Oltre is the pinnacle of modern racing performance thanks to its light and stiff frame. This is the perfect bike for Bianchi lovers: a bike worthy of paying tribute to Pantani's extraordinary feat and legacy. As befits a champion's bike, Oltre was built on the top Dura-Ace Di2 group, Princeton Carbonworks wheels with power measurement in the SRM crank.
