New bikes always generate a lot of online chatter but this one certainly seemed different – more emotion, more enthusiasm, more hype.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis new Bianchi looks interesting,\u201d I thought, as I read the comments and drooled over the pictures on the ever-popular Bianchi Owners Club of Australia Facebook page. The bike in question\u00a0was the freshly-released Impulso AllRoad, a major makeover to the company\u2019s existing AllRoad gravel bike.<\/p>\n

Online discussion continued for days – \u2018looks great\u2019, \u2018I want one\u2019, \u2018how much?\u2019 were a few of the comments as a friend decided (sight unseen) that he\u2019d order one.<\/p>\n
Similarly surprised by the look of the bike, I phoned Bianchi Australia and asked if one was available for test. With snow forecast for the mountains on Friday, the plan was to take the AllRoad all road, or more accurately, off road.<\/p>\n
Impulso AllRoad To The Snow<\/h4>\nCeleste in the snow – the Bianchi up high on the mountain trails.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
With the bike securely on the roof of the Skoda, I left Sydney at noon and pulled into the Jindabyne Hotel room at 6pm. One week ago I was riding in 35 degrees in Sydney yet zero was forecast for\u00a0the mountains \u2026 with a new bike, all the gear and equipment you could ever imagine, the anticipation of the next day\u2019s ride was killing me.<\/p>\n
Waking at 0600 I reached for the phone and saw that snow was still on the forecast. \u2018Areas above 1700metres from 11am\u2019 it read. Gearing up in a BBB Cycling jersey, jacket, long-fingered gloves, and face mask I finished breakfast at Jindabyne\u2019s legendary Red Door Cafe and started the long climb from 915m to Perisher at 1700m.<\/p>\n
Fitted with a 32-11 cassette and 34\/50 on front, the 10kg Bianchi Impulso AllRoad made comfortable work of the climbs. The Shimano 105 groupset and hydraulic discs performed admirably – having ridden my own bike with new Ultegra just days before, I couldn\u2019t feel any discernible difference between the two.<\/p>\nA gravel bike that masquerades as a roadie – the new Bianchi AllRoad.

From Sunny Jindabyne To Snowy Charlotte’s Pass<\/h4>\nIced up cleats – one of the problems of snow riding.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
As a CX \/ gravel \/ go anywhere machine the Impulso AllRoad performed admirably as a road bike. Factory fitted with 35mm Kenda tubeless tyres (and space for 40c\u2019s), I was dubious about the tyre\u2019s abilities on the road but pleasantly surprised after the numerous climbs and descents between Jindabyne and Charlotte Pass.<\/p>\n
The GPS was reading a temperature of 2 degrees as cold, sleety rain started to fall on the way up the climb. Into the headwind the bike and I battled on as the temperature continued to drop. And sure enough, soon after passing Perisher, the first few snowflakes fell.<\/p>\n
Having been on bitumen all morning it was time to put the AllRoad through its paces. I turned off, crossed some gravel then grass, and headed toward the nearby snowfields.<\/p>\nThe Bianchi at historic Seamans Hut in the Snowy Mountains. Image: Nat Bromhead<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The bike revelled in the snow, ice and gravel and was an absolute treat to explore the area aboard. Later, hooking up with the local \u00a0MTB and fat bike crew, I was surprised to see so many (well 6 or 7) fellow riders up there using bikes in the snow.<\/p>\nThe AllRoad is a capable and well-equipped\u00a0go-anywhere bike.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
As a road \/ gravel \/ go anywhere bike this new offering from Bianchi certainly ticks all boxes. It looks great, is well engineered, perfectly finished and comes with the 130+ year pedigree of one of the world\u2019s most respected manufacturers.<\/p>\nRiding toward another snow drift on the track to Kosciuszko.

Eats Up Long Fast Descent<\/h4>\n
Time to return from the rooftop of Australia back to Jindabyne, and this \u2018all road\u2019 bike handled the 1100m \/ 35km descent surprisingly well. \u2018This will be a fascinating test,\u2019 I thought, as I started pedalling hard and accelerating into the cold, late afternoon air. I\u2019ve got to mention the wind and waterproof BBB Controlshield jacket, face mask and long-fingered gloves – without this gear the ride home would\u2019ve been absoloute hell.<\/p>\nThe Bianchi Impulso AllRoad at 2100m near the rooftop of Australia. Image: Nat Bromhead.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
With it\u2019s faultless flat-mount disc brakes, stability and assurance of thru axles and beefy 35mm tyres, the Impulso AllRoad handled the mountain descent surprisingly well. Dropping onto the top tube on a few occasions – sternum resting relatively comfortable on the stem – I couldn’t help but be impressed by this machines ability to masquerade as a serious all rounder.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Summing Up<\/h4>\n
Quality:\u00a0<\/strong>The triple hydro-formed aluminium is stunning – during time with the bike several people flicked the frame with a finger thinking it was carbon. Overall the AllRoad is very well finished.<\/p>\n
Performance:\u00a0<\/strong>A genuine go-anywhere all road machine, the bike performs well in a wide variety of terrains. At a touch over 10kg it\u2019s an all-round performer.<\/p>\n
Value For Money:\u00a0<\/strong>At $2999 there\u2019s great value here. With Shimano\u2019s refined 105 groupset, hydraulic discs and bombproof wheels, this is a serious N+1 temptation.<\/p>\n
Overall:\u00a0<\/strong>It looks good, goes well and screams \u2018adventure\u2019. Considering the bike\u2019s ability, finish, price point and pedigree, it\u2019s certainly one of the more interesting releases of 2017.<\/p>\n
