GRAVEL DISCOVERY.
A capable gravel bike equipped for adventure, bikepacking and discovering new frontiers.
We engineered the Arcadex to take you further. Further outside your usual riding locale. Further into the wilderness. Further beyond your comfort zone.
We wanted to design a gravel bike capable of supporting you on the most adventurous rides. That meant devising new ways to enhance its capabilities, innovative features to augment exploration.
The result is the new Arcadex, an intrepid, rugged adventure machine that will take you further than ever.
DEDICATED FRAME
The carbon fibre frame of the Arcadex benefits from a dedicated endurance geometry, specifically suited to long-distance rides and expeditions that see you in the saddle on back-to-back days. It is offered in Pro and Comp versions.
Both Pro and Comp are spec’d as standard with Velomann integrated cockpit. Both models are also upgradeable with Bianchi’s fully-integrated monocoque carbon fibre handlebar, developed by Reparto Corse.
The Arcadex has clearance for up to 700c x 50mm tyres. It can also be run with clip-on fenders/mudguards. The bicycle is rated for ASTM 2 usage on off-road surfaces and all specifications feature a Mitora 149 H1 saddle to provide the all-day comfort you need for multi-day escapes.
BUILT TO EXPLORE
There are two trends emerging in gravel, high-speed performance and advanced exploration.
Bianchi’s comprehensive gravel offer comprises the Impulso range for going fast and for competition, and the Arcadex family for heading off the beaten path.
Internal frame storage
The internal frame storage (IFS) module provides the rider with useful extra capacity for small items like CO2 canisters, tyre levers, energy bars, water purification tablets or a multi tool.
Protective tool pouch
Designed to sit inside the IFS module, this Velomann pouch keeps your tools together so they do not rattle, nor scuff up the inside of the compartment. Takes one mini tool, one CO2 & valve, and two tyre levers – fitting snugly inside the IFS.
Rear axle hex tool
The thru-axle at the rear wheel contains a 4, 5 and 6mm Allen key tool, helping you fix mechanicals at the trailside and extending your independent adventure range a little bit further.
Bikepacking kit
Arcadex launches alongside a set of four new bags (100% nylon), giving you a variable suit of options to support you on any ride.
The kit includes:
- Orma 01, top tube bag which affixes to the top tube (1 litres capacity; water resistant);
- Orma 03, to be integrated inside the frame, at the front (3 litres capacity; waterproof);
- Orma 07, seat post bag (7 litres capacity; waterproof);
- Orma 09, roll-down-closure handlebar bag (9 litres capacity; waterproof);
Designed and manufactured by Bianchi in Italy, the ORMA bag range is also available singularly from authorised Bianchi dealers. Because what you carry and how you fix it to the bike matters. We’ve given you enough points across the frame and fork to mount bags and accessories.
TAME THE TRAIL
The Arcadex gives you the option to run a suspension front fork. We present a version of the Arcadex Pro that comes with a Rockshox Rudy XPLR suspension fork and this 30mm of front travel amplifies the bike’s already-impressive capability on rugged terrain, helping you to tame the trail ahead.
All new Arcadex models within the family can be upgraded with a compatible suspension fork post-purchase.
RIDE DEEPER INTO THE WILDS

The Arcadex Pro is geared to take you deeper into the wilds, and benefits from Velomann proprietary Terbium 30 carbon fibre wheelset, super-tough, adventure-ready wheels for exploration.
