Introducing the new heir to a legend: the Colnago V5Rs. For over a decade, the V Series has embodied the Colnago racing spirit, setting the pace in the most demanding cycling competitions. Since the V4Rs dominated the scene with UAE Team Emirates-XRG and Team UAE ADQ, we've been relentless in our pursuit to improve on the seemingly perfect. Every great story needs a new chapter, and the V5Rs is ready to write new pages of success. Even lighter and more aerodynamic, the V5Rs is the ultimate all-rounder road-racing bike.
The Colnago V5Rs is the lightest Colnago frame ever produced, but there is much more to it than that. This bicycle has been designed to improve on an already very successful WorldTour-winner bike, that’s why we considered the whole racing context. It’s not all about weight. Average speed and power are increasing more and more, that’s why we performed deep analysis on aerodynamics, carbon lay-up, stiffness and handling. From now on, athletes from Team UAE Emirates-XRG and UAE Team ADQ will be able to rely on a bike that, mounted with their standard race components - is just at the UCI weight limit, while providing improvements in power savings, handling and acceleration.
Colnago V5Rs Key Features:
- The lightest Colnago ever The V5Rs is the lightest Colnago ever built, with a ready-to-paint frame weighing in at 685 grams. The frame kit weighs 12.5% less than its predecessor, without compromising rigidity.
- Thinner profiles The experience gained with the Y1Rs has allowed us to refine the design of the V5Rs, which uses thin, high-performance profiles. In the wind tunnel, its aerodynamic performance is close to that of the best aero frames.
- Narrow frontal area The frontal area of the V5Rs measures 250 cm², 13% less than its predecessor. The evolution of the head tube - now narrower - helps reduce air resistance and save watts.
- Stiff and responsive The V5Rs combines lightness and aerodynamics without compromising stiffness and responsiveness, guaranteeing performance suited to the needs of the professional riders of the UAE teams.
- More precise steering The V5Rs has a new fork that is lighter and more precise. The tyre clearance of 32 mm allows the use of wider tyres: more grip, better handling and speed on uneven terrain.
- Absolute carbon quality. Thanks to new lamination techniques, the arrangement of carbon fibres is studied and controlled in every area of the frame. The result is a lightweight, resistant and long-lasting structure.
