The race that turns riders into legends

An event that transcends sport. A bike that goes beyond.

At Bianchi we wanted to honour the 176 elite athletes who will take the start of the 110th Tour de France.

The Official Bike of the Tour De France 2023, the Oltre RC, has been painted in a special, contemporary livery that strikes a balance between the heritage of Le Tour, and modern design sensibilities. This is a full bike build, completed with Bianchi Reparto Corse components. Hand assembled by our technicians, hand-painted by our artisans.

Now you can #ridethelegend.

176 NEW LEGENDS

176 riders will start the 2023 Tour de France. Each one becoming a part of the great race’s mythology. To honour the starters, Bianchi will produce just 176 numbered Oltre RC Tour de France editions – and you could own one.

When Bianchi works on a special project or creates limited edition bicycle, we always produce one extra – the 000 model – which is retained for posterity in the Bianchi archive.

PAINTING THE PINNACLE

Contemporary visual expression merges with iconic celeste. Iridescent shimmers, shot through with the lustrous, unmistakeable yellow of Le Tour. The pigments have been devised in Bianchi’s in-house colour lab, and the frames will be hand-painted in Italy by artisans who embody our passion for pushing technical and conceptual boundaries.

The Tour de France logo is placed on the seat tube, with each frame uniquely and prominently numbered on the opposite side.

assembled by hand

On each frame, the Italian words ‘assemblata a mano’. This is to certify that the bike was hand-assembled by Bianchi’s expert technicians, members of the Reparto Corse team. Dedicated people who embody its innovative, modern philosophy.

LIGHTWEIGHT CARBON SADDLE

Fully customised and uniquely available on this edition, the RC139 carbon saddle on the Oltre RC Tour de France bears special yellow detailing, and official Tour de France iconography. At 145g it is one of the lightest saddles in the world.

FAST-ROLLING WHEELS

The Oltre RC Tour de France comes equipped with Bianchi Reparto Corse high-performance, tubeless-ready wheels, with an SPB Tech RC 50 front and RC 65 rear. Once again, unique yellow detailing marks this out as a special collaboration.

AN ECHO
OF THE PAST

It is not the first time Bianchi has made a Tour de France bike. In 1952 and 1953, a special frame was made to celebrate the victory in ’52 of Fausto Coppi. It was the first ever Tour de France bike.

PRIVILEGED ITEMS

Purchasers of the Oltre RC Tour de France will not just receive the bike itself. We have curated a selection of unique gifts, to be presented only to the 176 new owners.

PRESENTATION BOX

In the presentation box that accompanies the Oltre RC you’ll discover a replica yellow jersey, exactly like the one worn by the overall leader of the 2023 Tour de France. There is no garment in the sporting world more iconic than ‘the golden fleece’. It is a symbol of cycling recognised the world over.

OWNERSHIP CARD

Also in the box, a hand-signed note of thanks from Bianchi’s CEO, and each owner’s unique metal ownership card bearing their name and frame number.

CARE PACKAGE

To aid you in caring for your Oltre RC Tour de France, we provide a pair of bicycle wheel bags, and a premium Reparto Corse-branded saddle cover. The RC logo serves as a reminder of our aspiration to the pinnacle of performance.
