EXPERIENCE: WOMEN'S
PERFORMANCE ROAD
Keeping up? Most riders don't just like to keep
up, and you're no different. Riding for your
means leaving your friends behind every once
in a while, just to show 'em you've been training
hard.
Like you, women everywhere asked for a bike that
was as high octane as it was ergonomically friendly.
We delivered with our new FACT carbon Ruby. Designed
to help female riders go faster, longer, the
Ruby relies on the same proprietary FACT composite
technology and Zertz vibration eating dampers
as our Tour de France tested Roubaix model. Every
Ruby model also comes equipped with a full complement
of women's-specific components including our
legendary Body Geometry saddles, women's-specific
handlebars, adjustable stems and shorter cranks
that facilitate a faster spin.

Here carbon fibre research
reaches the pinnacle of both design and performance.
The use of UHM/IM Ultra High Modulus Graphite
carbon fibres, which are 47% more resistant
than the standard fibres currently used in
the market, feature a tensile strength of up
to 2.800 N/mm2. Designed and oriented by means
of FEM (Finite Element method) software, we
are able to reach limits which are unattainable
by isotropic materials.
The exclusive design from Bianchi Reparto
Corse, which combines the down tube and the
oversized
seat tube with the rear Monostay, improves the
resistance to twisting and lateral bending thus
resulting in a good transfer of power to the
rear triangle. The production technology consists
in the laying of the pre-shaped, pre-saturated
single sheets according to specifications, followed
by complete polymerization in a high pressure
autoclave, to obtain the most of the mechanical
properties. The last surface finishing layer
(3K weave) is put into the autoclave as well,
as it will ensure a good resistance to both knocks
and weathering conditions, to a level which can
hardly be achieved by the conventional coating
techniques currently available on the market.
