TEAM RYNKEBY 2026 BIANCHI ARCADEX COMP

The bike is not just an adjusted or customized road bike – it is a full-hearted gravel bike. Bianchi has transitioned the new Arcadex 2026 model from the earlier model – that was a stiffer all-road bike to the new 2026 full-blown performance gravel bike. That gives the Arcadex the breathing room to pursue a new role as an adventure-centric gravel bike – more flexible but still stiff and fast. The seatpost on this newer model has gone down in size to 27.2 mm, which just proves Bianchi attempt to deliver a smoother ride. Bianchi is sending this new model on the marked to Team Rynkeby amongst others, so the project will be one of the first teams to receive the overhauled Arcadex version – and even painted in the famous Team Rynkeby yellow colour. The new updated 2026 Arcadex Comp is the right carbon gravel bike for the Team Rynkeby project – and it can be handled securely by both beginners and also pushed to the limit by experienced gravel riders. The updated Arcadex now has three-pack fork mounts and more tire clearance up to 50 mm (700c).
