TECHNOLOGY WHAT BIANCHI S INVENTION TO CANCEL VIBRATION Bianchi collaborated with Materials Sciences Corp. to develop our innovative and exclusive application of the patented Countervail integrated vibration cancelling system for cycling. Scientific studies prove that long term exposure to vibration, typically absorbed by the rider, causes muscle fatigue and discomfort, resulting in reduced performance. INTEGRATED SYSTEM PROVEN IN NASA AEROSPACE OPERATIONS Traditional passive damping of the frame using superficial rubber inserts and isolators are only marginally effective compared to the integrated carbon Countervail system developed by Bianchi and proven in the extreme conditions of NASA aerospace operations. With its patented carbon fiber architecture and viscoelastic material, Countervail carbon material is embedded within our unique Aquila CV carbon layup to cancel vibration while increasing the stiffness and strength of the entire frame. REASON WHY - Maximized handling and ride control under normal to extreme vibration loads - Reduced muscle fatigue and increased energy savings during long rides - Increased rigidity and peak power output over long distances

D2 AQUILA CV PROJECT PHILOSOPHY The completely new Aquila CV carbon frame with patented Countervail material is engineered by Bianchi for superior aerodynamic advantage and ride control while reducing muscle fatigue. The frame is designed using the most advanced CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation software and it is tested in the wind tunnel with our WorldTour athletes from the Belkin Pro Cycling team. The concept behind the creation of new bike is to minimize the aerodynamic drag through special design and seamless integration components. Frame has entirely smooth surfaces and no exposed fasteners. PRODUCT FEATURES - NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) aerodynamic profiles - Monocoque carbon frame - High-modulus carbon frame with innovative Countervail carbon material to cancel vibrations - Full carbon fork - Dedicated geometry with 76.5 seat tube angle and 72 head tube angle - Adjustable rear dropouts to reduce the turbulences minimizing the distance between the rear wheel and the seat tube - Compatible for mechanic and electronic groupsets - Internal cable routing - Absence of truncations - Integrated aerodynamic bars and stem - Concealed front brake - Minimized rear brake set-up located at the bottom-bracket area - Weight: 1,30 Kg - Sizes: XS S M - L PRODUCT CHARACTERISTIC TECHNOLOGIES COMFORT DESIGN PERFORMANCE WEIGHT PRICE AVAILABLE AS A FRAMESET
D2 AQUILA CV CONCEALED BRAKES Bianchi s experience in the wind tunnel combined with CFD simulations confirms that the front area of the bicycle is the most important when considering aerodynamic drag. With this in mind, Bianchi engineered a customized front tube cover, made in carbon, to smoothly hide the V-brake system. The rear V-brake is positioned in the bottom-bracket area to minimize the aerodynamic drag. SUPER AERO HANDLEBAR Aquila CV features full NACA airfoil shape of the handlebar (designed by Bianchi), smoothly integrated into the form of the frontal area of the frame. All cabling and wires are run internal to the bar to exclude them from wind drag. Three different stem lengths: 1. 90mm 2. 110mm 3. 130mm DOUBLE POSITIONING SEATPOST The aluminum seatpost clamp of the Aquila CV features 2 different positions to allow road TT and triathlon configuration with +/- 18mm setback.
