Bianchi Methanol CV FS 9.3  Mountain Bike 2021

Built to race in any conditions, the Bianchi Methanol CV FS 9.3 features a full suspension system along with Bianchi's CV system which makes technical descents once seen to be too rough to attempt now possible.

The Bianchi Methanol CV FS 9.3 has an overhauled geometry reducing the length of the chainstays and increasing the reach, making it perfect for any cross country racer. Furthermore, the Methanol CV features Bianchi's CV system which uses a special carbon architecture and viscoelastic material allow to cancel 80% of the vibration, resulting in improved aftershock control.

The stiffness of the advanced Methanol frame allows the bike to have improved traction allowing you to pick the best lines through the trees. Combined with Shimano's advanced SLX 7000 series groupset, the Methanol 9.3 has amazing grip and power.
