Bianchi Recalls Impulso RC Handlebars Due to Fall Hazard

What Happened

Bianchi Bicycles Canada Inc. has issued a recall for Impulso RC handlebars due to a structural defect. The handlebars can break while the bicycle is in use, which may cause the rider to lose steering control and increases the risk of a fall. As of January 28, 2026, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada or the United States.

Which Products Are Affected

The recall involves the IMPULSO RC handlebar, which is fitted as standard equipment on the following IMPULSO RC Bianchi bike models:

• YTB84
• YUB80
• YUB81

These products were purchased and delivered up to November 20, 2025. Approximately 13 units were sold in Canada and 114 units were sold in the United States between May 2024 and July 2025. The products were manufactured in China.

What You Should Do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Impulso RC handlebars. If you have not already been contacted by Bianchi, you should reach out to your local Bianchi dealer to arrange for a free replacement handlebar of a different design.

For more information, consumers can contact F.I.V.E. Bianchi S.p.A by email at [email protected] or visit the company’s official website. Health Canada reminds consumers that the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits recalled products from being redistributed, sold, or given away.

Why This Matters

A handlebar failure during operation can lead to a sudden loss of steering, posing a high risk of serious injury or death resulting from a fall.
