Bianchi Methanol CV FS 9.3 – Carbon Full-Suspension XC Performance

The Bianchi Methanol CV FS 9.3 is a high-performance 29″ full-suspension mountain bike created for cross-country racing, marathon riding and fast technical trails.

Its lightweight HM carbon frame incorporates Bianchi Countervail technology, while the Shimano XT/SLX 12-speed drivetrain and Fox suspension provide the efficiency, control and gear range required for serious off-road riding.

With multiple pre-owned units available from Fliston’s, the Methanol offers genuine premium MTB performance at a fraction of its original reference price.

HM Carbon Countervail Frame

The Methanol CV FS uses a:

Full Carbon HM Monocoque frame with Bianchi Countervail

Bianchi’s Countervail carbon structure is designed to reduce vibration while maintaining the stiffness required for efficient power transfer and precise handling.

The frame features:

100 mm rear suspension travel
29″ wheel platform
12×148 mm Boost rear axle
Internal cable routing
BB92 bottom bracket
1× drivetrain-specific design

The platform was produced in 15″, 17″, 19″ and 21″ frame sizes. Bianchi

Fox 32 Rhythm Front Suspension

At the front, the factory specification uses:

Fox 32 Rhythm 29″ Remote

with:

100 mm travel

The fork includes remote control and is designed specifically for efficient cross-country riding, balancing low weight with sufficient control over rough terrain. Bianchi

Fox Float DPS Rear Suspension

Rear suspension is handled by:

Fox Float DPS Performance Elite Remote

The rear shock works together with the 100 mm Methanol frame to provide traction and comfort without sacrificing the responsive characteristics expected from an XC race bike. Bianchi

Shimano XT / SLX 1×12 Drivetrain

The Methanol CV FS 9.3 combines Shimano XT and SLX components.

Factory configuration includes:

Rear derailleur: Shimano XT RD-M8100-SGS
Shifter: Shimano SLX 12-speed
Drivetrain: 1×12
Chain: Shimano CN-M7100

The XT rear derailleur provides accurate shifting across the very wide 12-speed cassette while the single-chainring configuration keeps the drivetrain simple and efficient. Bianchi

Shimano 34T Crankset

The original crankset is:

Shimano FC-MT610

with:

34T chainring

The 34-tooth chainring provides an excellent balance between speed and climbing ability for cross-country riding.

Shimano 10-51T Cassette

The correct factory cassette is:

Shimano CS-M7100-12, 10-51T

This exceptionally wide range gives the rider a low 51-tooth climbing gear while retaining a 10-tooth sprocket for fast sections.

So for WooCommerce I would write:

Crankset: Shimano FC-MT610, 34T
Cassette: Shimano 10-51T, 12-speed

rather than 34 / 11-51. Bianchi

29″ WTB Wheels

The factory specification uses:

WTB KOM Light i25 29″ wheels

paired with:

Kenda Booster Pro 29×2.20 tyres

The 29-inch platform provides efficient rolling, good stability and excellent obstacle clearance for cross-country and marathon riding. Alberto Guido

Shimano Hydraulic Disc Brakes

The factory specification for this Methanol CV FS 9.3 lists:

Shimano BR-MT501 hydraulic disc brakes

with:

180 mm front rotor
160 mm rear rotor

If one or more of Fliston’s actual bikes are fitted with Shimano SLX hydraulic brakes, I would list them individually as an upgrade rather than claiming all units originally came with SLX brakes. Bianchi
