BIANCHI ACTIvE TECHNOLOGY (BAT)
Usually a Road Racing bike is stiff in all directions. High performance but not comfortable at all!
Goal of BAT technology: To obtain different stiffness behavior under different loads/forces.
•
•
High torsional stiffness on bb under pedaling. Excellent racing performance.
Low vertical stiffness under vertical loads (schocks). More comfort and better grip.
PEDALING LOAD
VERTICAL LOAD COMING FROM AN IMPACT WITH OBSTACLE OR ROAD

TECHNOLOGY
Achieved by:
Special design (shapes of tubes)
Special lay-up and different
material combinations (carbon
– kevlar)
K-vId
(Kevlar–Vibration Insulating Device)
Kevlar fibers also have
vibration damping properties
= lower fatigue riding
