Entry-level hydroformed Bianchi bike
If you’re looking for a road bike with all the high-end fixings but at a lesser cost, enter Bianchi’s Impulso Ultegra road bike. The entry-level bicycle, featuring shifters and 10 speed derailleur, is made from aluminum using a ‘hydroforming’ process, eliminating welding in the steering area and allowing Bianchi to customize each part of the frame while maintaining the bike’s weight under 21 lbs.
The expensive hydroforming process — which is used in Bentley’s new GT body panels, for instance — uses hydraulic pressure to dial in tube shape and wall thickness. Don’t forget to switch out the bullet-proof wheel set to appropriate treads for your ride. Bianchi’s Impulso Ultegra will have you looking like a pro without breaking the bank with the price tag at $1,700. The Ultegra-equipped version comes in black and the lower priced 105 comes in Bianchi’s signature color, Celeste.
