Apart from using the Bianchi Team Androni Giocattoli-CIPI-Sidermec has been specifically designed by Bianchi and is not currently on the market. The base remains the great Bianchi frame addition, the same as a regular presence in the Bianchi retailers, and only custom graphics. Frame and its features have already extensively discussed, both from its official presentation and subsequent test on the road. We refer the reader, to a careful analysis of the peculiarities of this frame, the previous articles. Here we recall only the salient features of this frame: carbon monocoque high modulus, internal cable, the tapered headset, BB30, frame weight of just over 900 grams, the forks straight and aerodynamic profile of the weight about 300 grams. The bike is then assembled with the SRAM Red group, used to the controls, the sprocket and the rear derailleur. FSA is the front derailleur, chain, brakes K-Force and crankset K-Force Light. FSA is always the stem and handlebar may vary from athlete to athlete, Bertolini use a stem OS-99 and a aluminum Compact handlebar. Even the pedals are chosen by the athletes according to their preferences, with the majority using Look, but Bertolini prefer to use the Shimano Dura Ace. The saddle is a Fi'zi:k Airone CX. The wheels are Fulcrum Racing Zero or Racing Speed XLR or Racing Light XLR; the tubes are Kenda Volare, while the Elite bottle cage is and Garmin instrumentation. So assembled Alessandro Bertolini’s Bianchi Oltre Team have a weight of 6,840 kg; 6.6 kg weight without pedals.
