Bianchi Milano has launched its Tech Gravel capsule collection with a range of apparel focused specifically on the unique aspect of gravel riding and racing.
As with the entire collection, the line is characterized by its premium fabrics and attention to detail to offer the best riding experience.
In the case of Tech Gravel, Bianchi Milano sought to ensure protection, breathability, and comfort even on the roughest terrain, coupled with a regular fit that’s suitable for those seeking performance.
Jersey
When developing the Tech Gravel jersey, Bianchi Milano focused on two key qualities for the gravel experience: breathability and functionality.
The perforated fabric on the front facilitates breathability, while the back panel fabric has been designed with controlled stretch so that the weight of items in the pockets doesn’t affect the rider.
The YKK zipper is reinforced to prevent dirt or dust from entering; the zipper protection flap at the jersey’s bottom further protects it. The new graphics feature highly distinctive colours.
The jersey is available in both men’s and women’s versions, with the latter specifically tailored to female body shapes.
Bib shorts
The transition from asphalt to gravel is felt in the saddle, so the Tech Gravel capsule bib short features a special Elastic Interface pad that emphasizes precise comfort. Its reinforced ischial bone area makes it especially suitable for long days in the saddle.
The Made in Italy Lycra fabric is resistant to wear and abrasion and is ready to withstand the specific demands of gravel riding. For bike-packing enthusiasts, Bianchi Milano designed two side and two rear pockets on the lower part of the back to ensure maximum functionality. The rear brace reinforcement is embellished with a patch featuring the Bianchi eagle symbol.
As with the jersey, the Bianchi Milano bib shorts have a specifically developed women’s version, both in fit and pad.
