Bianchi Specialissima RC Pantani – Limited Edition


To celebrate one of cycling’s most iconic champions, Bianchi presents the Specialissima RC Pantani, an ultra-exclusive limited edition produced in just 101 units worldwide. This number pays tribute to Marco Pantani’s legendary race number 101, worn during his unforgettable 1998 Giro d’Italia victory.

Each Specialissima RC Pantani frame is individually hand-painted and personally numbered, with the serial marking positioned on the downtube near the head tube — a clear symbol of its rarity and collectability.

Every one of the 101 bikes is delivered with two exclusive Pantani-inspired items:

Pantani Bandana
A meticulously recreated version of the bandana worn by Marco Pantani at the start of stages. Cycling folklore says it was cast onto the road as the decisive climbing attacks began.
Pantani Replica Jersey
Crafted by Santini, this high-quality jersey is inspired by the kit worn by Pantani and his teammates during the historic 1998 season.
 
Built Without Compromise
The latest-generation Specialissima RC is engineered to be the ultimate climbing weapon, while remaining exceptionally capable on rolling terrain, fast flats, and technical descents. Its advanced carbon frameset and proprietary components are designed to deliver peak performance wherever the road leads.

 
Ultra-Light Construction
With a complete bike weight of just 6.6 kg (±5%), the Specialissima RC remains one of the lightest high-performance road bikes available. This was achieved through a deliberate redistribution of material toward the front of the frame, paired with ultra-slim seat stays and refined chain stays. The reshaped head tube improves airflow while maintaining stiffness and precise handling.

 
Aerodynamic Efficiency Where It Matters
Unlike traditional climbing bikes, the Specialissima RC is optimized for aerodynamic performance even on moderate gradients. Compared to its predecessor:

Nearly 9 seconds saved on a 10 km climb at 6% when riding at 200 watts
Over 31 seconds saved across 40 km of flat terrain at the same power
Elite climbers riding at 30 km/h on a 6% gradient benefit from a 3.6-watt reduction in required effort
 
2026 Specialissima RC – Reaching the Threshold Sooner
Bianchi defines the “threshold” as the point where a lightweight all-round bike becomes more efficient than a dedicated aero model. Thanks to improved aerodynamics, low mass, and exceptional stiffness-to-weight balance, the new Specialissima RC reaches this threshold earlier than ever.

When compared to the Bianchi Oltre RC:

A professional rider producing 420 watts gains an advantage on gradients above 6.2%
A highly trained rider at 300 watts reaches the threshold at 4.9%
An amateur rider generating 250 watts benefits from the Specialissima at gradients as low as 4.2%
Even the paint contributes to performance — the RC finish is approximately 40 grams lighter than standard color options.

 
The Bianchi Specialissima RC Pantani is more than a bicycle. It is a tribute to cycling history, a collector’s masterpiece, and a precision-built machine for riders who demand excellence on the mountains.
