Built to win. More.
The V5Rs is the latest evolution of the Colnago V Series. Even lighter and more aerodynamic, the V5Rs is the ultimate all-round racing bike, designed to continue dominating the WorldTour with Pogačar and his team-mates.
To obtain a winning bike, several factors must be balanced. It's not just a question of lightness, but also of aerodynamics, responsiveness and handling. The V5Rs is the result of the perfect balance of these elements - all performed with a single objective: to win.
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.
Technology
- CFD optimisation - The design of the V5Rs starts with CFD simulations to analyse airflow. The models are developed with the support of universities, to reflect real aerodynamic conditions.
- Prototyping - Colnago used 3D printing to create prototypes based on CFD data, allowing for rapid testing and targeted modifications to ensure optimal performance of each component.
- Validation in the wind tunnel - The prototypes are tested in the wind tunnel, even in a competition configuration with manikins. The tests confirm the CFD data and help define further aerodynamic improvements.
- Validated by pro riders - The first production models are road tested by professional cyclists to verify that performance remains high even in real conditions and in competition.
