Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Bianchi Oltre XR4. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
10 reasons to buy
- Testers feel the Oltre XR4 is extremely responsive and handles well in all conditions.
- Reviewers note the Oltre XR4's long reach and relatively low stack height create a naturally aggressive aerodynamic position in the saddle.
- The stiff, lightweight carbon frame allows riders to get out of the saddle and put out a lot of power without feeling unstable.
- Riders say the Oltre XR4 climbs well and sprints beautifully, but that it's in its element on fast descents.
- The Bianchi Oltre XR4 is designed with airflow in mind. Reviewers respect its sleek, eye-catching lines.
- Oltre XR4 builds come in four drivetrain options: SRAM Red eTap AXS, Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, SRAM Rival eTap AXS, and Shimano Ultegra Di2.
- When it comes to wheels, buyers can choose from a build with carbon rims (Vision 55 SC) or alloy (Fulcrum Racing 400).
- Reviewers say Shimano hydraulic disc brakes are highly responsive and easy to modulate. On the SRAM Red eTap build, a tester describes braking as “stable, precise and reliable”.
- Testers agree that Bianchi's Countervail® integrated vibration-canceling system smooths out the Oltre XR4's ride, over road bumps and debris.
- To reviewers, the Oltre XR4’s integrated Vision Metron 5D ACR (Aerodynamic Cable Routing) bar/stem combo is stiff, responsive, and aesthetically clean.
3 reasons not to buy
- Several testers thought the bike was sluggish from a standstill and while climbing. They attributed this to the Oltre XR4's heavier weight.
- On Rival eTap and Ultegra Di2 builds, testers feel that alloy Fulcrum Racing wheels are overweight and below spec, given the asking price.
- Experts recognize that the Oltre XR4 is an expensive option, but several maintain that the price represents sound value.
Bottom line
Bianchi’s aerodynamic Oltre XR4 is a fast road and racing bike that offers up speed, agility, and responsiveness to its rider. It’s not the lightest option within its class, and you’ll feel that climbing steep grades. But the Oltre makes up for any sluggishness during fast descents. This bike shines bombing downhill, cutting tight corners, and all-out sprinting. What’s more, testers felt comfortable on the XR4 after all-day rides. You’ll find competitors that will beat it on price and value for money, but the Oltre delivers a fun, fast ride.
