The Bianchi Via Nirone 7, which has a frame once raced at Paris-Roubaix, is Bianchi's entry-level bike – we put it through its paces | Subscribe to Cycling Weekly here: https://www.youtube.com/user/CyclingW... • Bianchi is known for its bespoke beauties, whether that’s the Bianchi Specialissima, the Bianchi Oltre XR4 or its new Bianchi Aria. In this review, though, I take its entry-level bike, the Bianchi Via Nirone 7, for a whirl. • Frame • You might think that for £829 the Bianchi Via Nirone 7 would be just a normal entry-level bike, but you’d be wrong. • In fact, Bianchi has gifted its ‘entry-level’ bike some pretty top tech, the same stuff that Bianchi specs across all of its endurance bikes, including its top end models, including the Infinito CV. • The frame is hydroformed and triple butted, plus it comes with a carbon fork with special kevlar inserts – Bianchi’s BAT technology – to take the sting out of the ride. The inserts are also found in the chainstays and and at the bottom of the seatstays. • In fact, the Bianchi Via Nirone is probably the only entry-level bike to have been ridden at Paris-Roubaix, albeit with Super-Record rather than Shimano Sora as found on our test bike. • Aesthetically Bianchi hasn’t cut any corners with the bike, and the Via Nirone 7 looks as sporty and fast as ever. The slightly curving top tube really adds a level of dynamism to the look, despite its entry level price tag. • Even better is the fact it’s genuinely comfortable to ride, and clearly all of Bianchi’s top technology has worked, with the ride quality feeling top notch. • Specification • The Bianchi Via Nirone 7 is a fast and comfortable frame, but one that’s specced with slightly lacklustre components. • Although, in Bianchi’s defence, it has more thoroughbred Shimano parts than most other entry-level bikes do. • For the drivetrain it’s Shimano Sora across the board, which is as reliable as it is heavy, but it never skipped a beat when hammering hard and shifting under force. • Somewhat less reliable are the Reparto Corse brakes, which don’t do the best job of slowing you down – and that’s in the dry. But the issue is more than just stopping power, it’s also feel, and with the brakes feeling numbed it’s hard to tell when you’re about to lock up the rear wheel. • The Zaffiro Slick tyres on the Bianchi Via Nirone 7 • Super-slick tyres, which are also a tad heavy • Our model came equipped with a pair of Alex Rims, which felt bombproof but also heavy and didn’t exactly zip along. • These are mounted with some Vittoria Zaffiro Slicks, which aren’t bank-breakers in terms of their retail price, aren’t the lightest, and probably aren’t the grippiest rubber that ever rolled. • More at: • Cycling Weekly: http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/ • Facebook: / cyclingweekly • Instagram: / cyclingweeklymagazine • Google+: https://plus.google.com/1035528902685... • Twitter: / cyclingweekly
