  Colnago V5Rs: The Ultimate All-Rounder Racing Machine After a decade of development, countless victories in the Men's and Women's WorldTour, and rigorous refinement of its predecessor, Colnago has unveiled its most advanced racing bike yet—the V5Rs. Designed to dominate across every terrain, the V5Rs embodies the philosophy of being built to win, every time, everywhere.
• The Winning Formula Colnago's approach to crafting a victorious bike centers around six key attributes: ✅ Climbing Stiffness – Maximized power transfer for efficient uphill efforts. ✅ Aerodynamics – Reduced drag for optimal speed in all conditions. ✅ Lightness – A frame engineered to approach the UCI weight limit without compromise. ✅ Sprint Stiffness – Rigid construction that ensures responsiveness under explosive acceleration. ✅ Compliance – A ride quality designed for endurance and comfort over long distances. ✅ Position Customization – Intuitive sizing and geometry to enhance rider efficiency. Every element of the V5Rs has been tuned to harmonize these factors, creating Colnago’s most complete race bike ever. Unprecedented Lightness Without Compromise Colnago has meticulously refined its carbon fiber layup and manufacturing techniques to deliver its lightest-ever racing frame—weighing a mere 685g (unpainted, medium size). This feat was achieved through an advanced lamination process, utilizing Finite Element Modeling (FEM) to optimize carbon stacking. By employing rigid mandrel systems during the curing stage, each carbon layer maintains its precise alignment, ensuring minimal excess material while maximizing strength and responsiveness. The result? A 12.5% reduction in weight compared to the V4Rs. Improved handling and agility, without sacrificing stiffness. A meticulously finished frame for enhanced durability and aesthetic quality. Additionally, Colnago returns to the BSA bottom bracket standard, reducing weight while maintaining optimal stiffness in high-power efforts.

  Aerodynamics: Engineering Speed Colnago's aero advancements originate from its Y1Rs prototype, developed through extensive wind tunnel testing and pressure mapping. Engineers drilled 70 holes into the prototype frame to measure airflow resistance, leading to an optimized design that minimizes drag while maintaining lightweight construction. Key aerodynamic upgrades include: 📌 A 13% reduction in frontal drag compared to the V4Rs, enhancing efficiency at high speeds. 📌 Slimmer fork and seatpost profiles, reducing turbulence without sacrificing stability. 📌 Redesigned head tube geometry, seamlessly integrating with a lightweight fork to optimize airflow. 📌 Improved cable routing within a slimmer fork section for enhanced aerodynamics and handling precision. This refined aerodynamic package ensures that the V5Rs delivers the benefits of an aero bike while maintaining its versatility as an all-rounder—ideal for attacking climbs, responding to breakaways, and powering through sprints.

  Optimized Real-Dynamic Stiffness for Every Race Condition Unlike conventional stiffness measurements, Colnago has pioneered its Real-Dynamic Stiffness (RDS) testing methodology—evaluating how the frame reacts under multi-load conditions encountered in actual race scenarios. Two key positions were analyzed in developing the V5Rs’ stiffness characteristics: 🔹 Sprint Position: Simulating the flexural and torsional stresses experienced during powerful accelerations, ensuring maximal responsiveness in high-speed sprints. 🔹 Seated Climb Position: Balancing stiffness and compliance to optimize power transfer while maintaining comfort on sustained climbs. Through internal stress testing and frame optimization, the V5Rs achieves exceptional pedaling efficiency and control, particularly in aggressive race conditions. The raised seat stays improve frame stiffness, while revised tube junctions enhance energy transmission from rider to road.

  Refined Geometry & Handling Precision Colnago’s racing DNA is reflected in the V5Rs’ geometry, which introduces subtle refinements over its predecessor: ✅ Two fork rakes (47mm for sizes 420-510, 43mm for 530-570)—enhancing stability across size ranges while maintaining responsive handling. ✅ Slightly steeper head tube and seat tube angles, supporting a forward-leaning race position for optimized aerodynamics and power delivery. ✅ A redefined fork structure, reducing weight while improving steering precision for technical descents. These refinements ensure effortless control, whether attacking a climb or descending at race-winning speeds.
