Specialissima RC: the pros’ choice

Why Specialissima RC is the choice of Team Arkea B&B Hotels’ pro riders?

This bike gives elite professional riders more tools in their repertoire, more options for attacking the parcours, an extra weapon in their competitive arsenal. The Specialissima is impressively light at just 6.6kg for the entire bike. It turns the whole concept of ‘allrounder’ on its head.

In response to our WorldTour athletes’ feedback, we wanted to make the Specialissima a more efficient performer in the mountains. That meant upping the aero performance while preserving world-class stiffness-to-weight, so that at lower gradient inclines it could still provide a competitive advantage.

It took precision engineering to get here. Our racing division, Reparto Corse, set out to shift the tipping point of climbing gradient and power output at which the Specialissima could outperform an aero bike.

Specialissima has been engineered for professionals and the most dedicated cyclists who require an ultra-light bike that excels on climbs and supports them to go faster between ascents.
