Bianchi Arcadex Ekar 13Speed 2023 Gravel Bike

The Arcadex gravel bike perfectly combines an emotional communion with nature, and the exhilarating rush of Bianchi racing DNA. It delivers distinct performance for the modern gravel rider.

The sculpted carbon fibre frame is incredibly responsive, so the Arcadex is primed to perform as soon as you push on the pedals – whether riding to explore or indulging your competitive spirit. Take off-road capability, combine it with the speed and aesthetics you love about your road bike, then you have the Arcadex. With clearance for 700×42 or 650×47 tyres, it’s for those who want to ride gravel, faster.

The Arcadex serves as the connection between the human spirit and the natural world beyond, enhancing every sense, from the crispness of colours to the feeling of friendship among companions. This bike creates an instant connection to the simple pleasure of riding and will help you to perform to the best of your ability, no matter the terrain. Everything is intensified. Nature is amplified.

The name Arcadex takes inspiration from Arcadia (Ἀρκαδία), the legendary region of Greek and Roman myth and tied inextricably to visions of natural harmony.
