At $3,500, the Bianchi Oltre Race 105 Bike answers a question that every rider shopping for their first serious carbon road bike eventually asks: how much of the platform do you actually get at this price? In Bianchi’s Oltre lineup, the answer is straightforward — you get the same aero carbon frame and fork that defines the Oltre platform, spec’d with Shimano’s 12-speed 105 mechanical groupset and hydraulic disc brakes. The CK16 Metallic Celeste finish is the unmistakable shade that has been on Bianchi road bikes since 1913. This is a genuine Italian carbon aero race bike, not a marketing exercise.

The Oltre frame is Bianchi’s dedicated aero road platform, developed with the aerodynamic tube shaping and race-oriented geometry that the brand built around its WorldTour program. That same frame architecture carries through the entire Oltre lineup regardless of component spec — so while the Race 105 sits below the Comp Ultegra Di2 in terms of drivetrain, the ride character comes from the same carbon construction. Seven sizes run from 44cm to 59cm, making the Oltre Race one of the more size-inclusive options in this segment. Stack measurements run from 481mm (44cm) to 576mm (59cm), with reach from 376mm to 397mm — geometry that rewards an active aerodynamic position without being punishing on longer rides.
Shimano’s 105 R7100 is a 12-speed mechanical groupset and the correct choice at this price point. It runs the same 12-speed cassette architecture as Ultegra and Dura-Ace, delivers shifting that’s reliable and consistent, and it’s serviceable by any shop that works on Shimano. The 50/34 compact chainring combination paired with an 11-34 cassette gives the Oltre Race genuine climbing versatility — useful for riders covering varied terrain or building fitness on hilly routes. Even at this tier, the brakes are hydraulic: Shimano 105 R7170 two-piston hydraulic disc with Shimano RT70 Centerlock 160mm rotors. Hydraulic disc braking is no longer a premium feature on carbon…
