Facts
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.
