Bianchi Arcadex AeroFlare dimensions: Choosing a Fit Discussion

Bianchi Arcadex AeroFlare dimensions can help narrow a cockpit discussion before a fitting appointment. Page 9 of the carbon supplement dated 18 November 2024 gives a specific table for the AeroFlare Integrated Handlebar, code C2306226. Reading its complete length-and-width combinations is more reliable than assuming every width is offered with every stem length.

Compare the Bianchi Arcadex AeroFlare dimensions together

The listed combinations are 90 × 400, 90 × 420, 100 × 400, 100 × 420, 110 × 400, 110 × 420, 110 × 440, 120 × 420 and 120 × 440 mm. The first number follows the table's length column and the second its width column. Neither 90 × 440 nor 120 × 400 appears in this table.

This is a documented size list rather than a statement of present availability. It lets a rider ask about a particular combination without inventing an option. For example, a move from 100 × 420 to 110 × 420 changes the listed length while preserving the listed width; moving to 110 × 440 changes both.

Distinguish length, bar reach and combined reach

Every row gives 72.6 mm bar reach and 119.3 mm drop. The separate Stem/HB reach column is 167, 177, 187 or 197 mm for the 90, 100, 110 or 120 mm length respectively. Do not confuse this combined dimension with either the handlebar's own reach or the frame reach in the geometry chart.

The table also lists 6.8 degrees outward bend, 16 degrees flare and a minus-7-degree angle throughout. Those shared numbers describe the component; they do not determine an individual's preferred hand position. Bring the current cockpit measurements and the candidate row to the fitter so a change is described in the same terms as the manufacturer table.

Consider the separate-stem arrangement before committing

Page 11 also documents a separate stem-and-handlebar arrangement for the Arcadex, listing stem lengths of 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 mm. That provides another documented configuration to discuss. It does not approve every aftermarket stem or establish that a separate stem's overall hand position equals an AeroFlare row with the same nominal length.

Bianchi reserves AeroFlare assembly, maintenance, disassembly and height adjustment to a specialised dealer. Use the table to prepare a fit decision, not to bypass that requirement. The historical photograph is not an AeroFlare installation image, and its visible bar should not be used to infer any of these dimensions or the pictured frame's compatibility.

A fit change is also separate from assessing damaged equipment. Page 10 says to stop using the bicycle if the handlebar is damaged and return to use only after the specialist has inspected it and replaced it if necessary. Selecting a more suitable size from the table does not answer whether an existing bar can remain in service after an impact.

FAQ

Is a 90 × 440 mm AeroFlare listed?

No. The 90 mm length appears with 400 and 420 mm widths. The 440 mm width appears with 110 and 120 mm lengths in this table.

Does changing length also change the listed bar reach?

The bar reach remains 72.6 mm in every row. The Stem/HB reach column changes with length, so these two measurements should be kept separate.

Can the table be used as a home installation guide?

It is useful for selecting a fit discussion. Bianchi says AeroFlare assembly, maintenance, disassembly and height adjustment must be handled by a specialised dealer.

A height enquiry also needs the constraints in the ICR parts and spacer reference. The Bianchi topic provides navigation to the frame and equipment guides.
