A new aluminum Road Frame for 2012: The Impulso.
The main feature of this frame (part of the C2C – Coast to Coast “family”)is the use of the Triple Hydroformed Technology (an exclusive to Bianchi): the top and head tube undergo a hydroformation process, are then welded and fused together into a monocoque structure, and finally go through a second hydroformation process.
The final outcome is an overall improvement of the frame’s stiffness, combined with aesthetical upgrade, with the elimination of the welding effect in the steering area.
