Handmade in Italy. In the Colnago C68 Road we have channeled all the energy, passion, technology, history and DNA of Colnago to create a bike that is the ultimate, the pinnacle of the art of bike building according to Colnago.
This model combines racing geometry and performance details with the timeless appeal of the modular frame. The C68 Road is a champion of road bikes. A bike handmade in Italy to be enjoyed and admired.
The savoir-faire of the same hands that made the bikes of the greatest champions in cycling history continues in a model that is already a classic.
Product Features
Wheels up to 32 mm
The bicycle is evolving: more space for tyres allows us to meet the needs of all cyclists and to be compatible with the largest number of wheels and tyres on the market.
T47 bottom bracket
arger diameter bearings have better endurance and reduce rolling friction.
Rigidity and steering precision with the new steerer tube
The larger diameter compared to the C64 allows greater rigidity and a better feeling of safety when riding on more technical trails.
Lightened and updated fork
The fork has been optimised to be lighter while retaining the same degree of rigidity and precision.
Integrated multitool
Sooner or later, everyone needs a multitool to deal with any small adjustments that may be necessary during a ride (such as a flat tyre). We have integrated this tool into the top cap of the headset.
The C68 proudly continues the tradition of the modular frame
The frame is constructed from several carbon parts that are hand-assembled in Italy through joints and interlocks. The number of parts that complete the frame, i.e. 8, is the same as the previous C series (C64).
An art jealously guarded and handed down
The tradition of modular carbon frames began at Colnago in the early 1990s. Colnago was the first brand in cycling history to introduce carbon frames to professional teams, winning a technically demanding race like the Paris Roubaix with the legendary C40.
We have introduced a new process: banding
The carbon bands are applied manually at the joint between the carbon modules, after which they are filed and polished to achieve the look of a monocoque frame with the best Colnago modular frame properties.
Greater care and precision in module production compared to a complete frame
The smaller moulds of the individual modules allow us to work with greater care and obtain the highest quality carbon parts.
