Since the end of 2023, we can proudly say that The Bike Broker has become a Colnago dealer. At TheBikeBroker.nl we are pleased to expand our range with this prestigious brand. Since its founding in 1954, Colnago has built a legacy of craftsmanship and innovation, making it known worldwide as a pioneer in the production of high-quality sports bicycles.
Based in Italy, Colnago has an unwavering commitment to perfection and aesthetics. Each frame is infused with the passion and expertise of founder Ernesto Colnago, known for his unparalleled attention to detail. The result is a fusion of art and technology, where every bicycle is a masterpiece in itself.
Colnago's history began in the 1950s, when Ernesto, born on February 9, 1932 in Cambiago, Italy, started working as a bicycle mechanic. His skills were quickly noticed by professional cyclists, and this led to collaborations with some of the most successful riders of the time.
In 1954, Ernesto opened his own workshop in Cambiago, where he focused on building and maintaining racing bicycles. He strived for perfection in every aspect of his craft, and this pursuit of quality led to the first Colnago bicycles being produced in the late 1950s. However, it was in 1968 that Colnago really achieved fame with the introduction of the Colnago Super.
The Colnago Super was a revolutionary bicycle for its time, with a frame made of thin steel tubes and with unparalleled attention to detail. The bicycle quickly became popular among professional cyclists, including Eddy Merckx, one of the biggest names in cycling history. Under Merckx, Colnago achieved numerous victories in prestigious races, cementing the brand's reputation as a leading manufacturer of racing bicycles.
Colnago continued to introduce innovations, and in the 1980s it pioneered the use of new materials, such as carbon fiber, in bicycle frame production. This resulted in the C35, the first production bicycle with a carbon fiber frame. Colnago continued to be successful in professional cycling, with riders such as Giuseppe Saronni and the Dutch Erik Breukink achieving success on Colnago bicycles.
Over the years, Colnago has expanded its range, with different models for different disciplines, such as racing bikes, time trial bikes and cyclocross bikes. The brand also continued to collaborate with top riders and teams, contributing to its status as one of the most respected and recognizable names in the cycling industry.
Colnago distinguishes itself through the use of advanced materials and cutting-edge technologies. From carbon frames to high-quality components, each bike is designed to meet the demands of the most demanding cyclists. Discover the harmony between lightweight construction, aerodynamic efficiency and unparalleled stiffness that define Colnago bicycles.

The performance of the V4Rs is that of an aero bike.
Compared to the V3Rs, in a real racing setup (tested in the wind tunnel with an athlete pedaling at 50 km/h with 1 bottle and one empty bottle cage), Colnago measured an aerodynamic saving of 3%, which equates to approximately 13.2 watt. With an advanced aero setup (aero wheels and aero Colnago Computer support) the bike had an aerodynamic saving of 6% (approximately 27.7 watts saved).
The shape has been revised and perfectly integrated with the new lightweight front fork (designed to allow effective tire clearance up to 32mm) and with the new cockpit. Although the headset's upper bearings are larger than those of the V3Rs, allowing cables to run inside without the need for the D-shaped head tube and improving overall front-end stability, the overall shape has better drag.
Colnago has created in-house methodologies to replicate the loading forces of standing-on-pedal and seated positions and control the overall deformation and stiffness of the frame. Colnago was then able to define what we call RDS (Real-Dynamic Stiffness) and characterize it under combined multiple loading conditions.
The new V4Rs significantly improves the crashworthiness of the most exposed areas that can be exposed to impact under racing conditions. An example of this are the completely redesigned seat bars, which, in addition to their more aerodynamic shape, also significantly improve bending and impact resistance. The robustness of this design also minimizes the need for maintenance.
The weight distribution has changed compared to the V3Rs. The front fork is now lighter and the total weight of the frame kit + handlebar setup has been reduced by 56 grams. The result is better handling in corners and more safety and precision when descending.
The Colnago C68 gravel bike represents a harmonious interplay of Italian craftsmanship and modern technologies, designed to satisfy the most demanding riders.
