The Bianchi Specialissima RC Pantani is more than a road bike—it's a moving piece of cycling history. Released to celebrate Bianchi’s 140th anniversary, this limited-edition model pays homage to one of the sport’s most iconic climbers, Marco Pantani, and his unforgettable Giro-Tour double victory in 1998.

Inspired by the legendary Bianchi Mega Pro XL, the Specialissima RC Pantani features the same iconic sky blue and yellow livery that defined an era. Each frame is hand-painted and individually numbered, with only 101 units produced—a nod to Pantani’s race number during his historic season.

This collector’s edition comes with an exclusive commemorative kit:

• A replica bandana, mirroring Pantani’s iconic pre-race ritual

• A Santini-designed jersey, reimagined in the classic team colours of 1998

• Special edition packaging and documentation

Underneath the paint lies the latest performance technology. The Specialissima RC is Bianchi’s lightest and most advanced climbing bike, featuring the Campagnolo Super Record Wireless 13-speed groupset and Campagnolo carbon wheels. Every detail—from the golden Bianchi Eagle badge on the head tube to the heritage-inspired design cues—blends modern engineering with timeless style.

Whether you're a lifelong fan of “Il Pirata” or a rider who appreciates rare craftsmanship, the Bianchi Specialissima RC Pantani is a bike to be ridden, admired, and remembered.
