Here’s a detailed overview of the new 2026 Bianchi Arcadex — a gravel bike designed for those who love adventure, bikepacking, and long-distance riding.

The Arcadex is Bianchi’s proposal for those who are not only looking for fast performance on dirt roads (“fast gravel”), but also want to explore, push themselves further, and travel over multiple days, with comfort and versatility.

It fits alongside the Impulso (the more “race-gravel” model), offering endurance geometry, space for loads, attention to comfort, and solutions that help with travel management.
