Bianchi currently offers 40 plus bicycle models that fit very short to very tall riders. However, the brand doesn’t provide sizing guide as per the bike model and rider’s height. Instead, they recommend using their official frame size calculator and choose the bicycle model accordingly.
Also, Bianchi sizes their bicycles as per the seat tube length (from middle of the bottom bracket to top of the seat tube) and not the top tube length. This may confuse many riders as most bicycle manufacturers base their sizes as per the top tube length of the bikes.
Anyway, the following tables will help you decide your Bianchi bike size based on your height and inseam. The charts are just guidelines only, but they will help you predict an accurate frame size in most cases.
Tips when you fall into two frame sizes:
- Choose a small one – if you have short torso/long legs
- Choose a bigger one – if you have long torso/short legs
- Smaller bike is easier to control while the larger one is more comfortable
Bianchi road bikes size charts
The Italian brand is quite well-known among pro-cyclists for its high performing road/race bikes. Bianchi road bikes boast of lightweight carbon frames, aerodynamic tubes, quality components, aggressive geometry, integrated cockpits, and so on. Some of their road bike models like Via Nirone 7 offer nine sizes. So, I advise you to go through the geometry chart of the specific model you intend to buy.

Final thoughts
Bianchi bicycles are expensive and you should not go wrong while choosing the correct frame size. There is nothing worse than riding a road bicycle that doesn’t fit your body structure. Riding a wrong bicycle causes lower back pain and destroys your cycling experience.
The best thing is to visit the nearest Bianchi store and do the fitting test physically. If visiting the store is not possible, using the above charts is a great start to determine your ideal Bianchi bike size. Not all the riders have same body anatomies. Some have short limbs and some have long limbs. And the body anatomy plays an important role while choosing a racing bike size.
