2020 BIANCHI METHANOL CV FST 9.2 MOUNTAIN BIKE
There is no doubt that the Bianchi Methanol CV FST 9.2 Mountain Bike is a veritable off-road speed machine, suitable for XC racing, marathon events and for rapidly despatching local trails too. The FST models in Bianchi’s range are slightly more trail-oriented than the FS versions, with a dropper seatpost and 120mm fork to make things easier on technical terrain. The 100mm carbon frame is the same however, with short chainstays, Boost spacing and internal cable routing along with Countervail technology.

A full complement of Shimano’s brilliant XT components provides great shifting and reliable braking, with the DT Swiss M1700 SPLINE Two 29" wheels adding speed over the ground and pinpoint tracking thanks to the extra width of the Boost hubs.
