Teacher?s notes: Although the Bianchi seems pricey for its component spec, its performance underscores the fact that everything on the Grizzly works together to produce results. Its Dedacciai steel tubeset and classic frame geometry make it a great climber and descender. If you are a privateer XC racer who can only afford one bike?consider the Bianchi Grizzly.
