Colnago v2-R w/Campy Chorus and HED Wheels 2018 (Used)

ALL ROUND RACE MACHINE

V2-R is Colnagos all-round race bike, blending the aerodynamics of the Concept, with the comfort and handling of the C64. Using Colnagos top-of-the-line carbon monocoque frame, V2-R is light, stiff and rides smooth across any terrain.

LIGHTNING ACCELERATION

At 835g, the bike weighs the same as V1-R, with Colnago moving material around in order to improve stiffness in key areas. BB is 13% stiffer and head tube 4% stiffer, meaning more efficient power transfer, reactive acceleration and precise handling. V2-R lets nothing go to waste, efficiently turning every watt of energy into speed across the road.

NOTHING RIDES LIKE COLNAGO

At the core of any Colnago is the brands legendary ride quality. Roads feel smoother, corners feel wider and steering feels responsive yet stable. When updating the V2-R, Colnagos pro riders requested a lower head tube, creating a more aggressive riding position that tracks confidently through corners. Likewise, clearance for 28mm tires further adds to smooth rolling and long ride comfort.

AERO IMPROVEMENTS

Taking design advice from Ferrari, V2-Rs forks, head tube, down tube, seat tube, and seat post, are all shaped using proven NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) kammtail tube profiles. An integrated seatpost clamp and D-shaped seatpost are an example of clever improvements - the clamp hides in the top tube, while the post is flat at the back to offer rear flex and a Kamm-tail shape.

STOP FAST, RIDE FASTER.

Front and rear direct-mount brakes provide a stiffer and stronger braking set up, with improved modulation and overall braking power. V2-R is also available in a disc brake version - with improved stopping power allowing you to brake later, taking more speed into the turn.

At the launch, Ernesto Colnago said: ?This bicycle is an evolution of the V1-R monocoque. It improves on the design yet it retains the same high-quality construction and methods.?

The Colnago V2-R frame has been wind tunnel tested to verify its aerodynamics. It features short Kammtail tube profiles, for aerodynamic efficiency without excess material to weigh it down.

Aero gains have been made in the incorporation of the seatpost clamp, which is now built into the top tube, and the brake is direct mount on the seat stays ? allowing for 28 MM tires if desired. The front brake on the Colnago V2-R is also direct mount and the fork blades have a deep, truncated aerofoil profile.

The geometry of the Colnago V2-R has also been tweaked, with a 4mm reduction in head tube length relative to the V1-R, for a more aggressive ride position. This will suit those planning all out efforts, or perhaps wanting to put the aerodynamics to good use in a time trial or long break-away attempt.Colnago?s proprietary TF82.5 threaded bottom bracket shell is used on the Colnago V2-R for better fit and easier maintenance than a standard pressfit bearing.

A real race machine

When it comes to pushing the pedals, the Colnago V2-R feels like a race machine from the off. There?s excellent power transfer through the stiff bottom bracket and not a hint of flex in the frame under load. It feels super-planted too and you can pilot it confidently through tight curves on fast downhill runs. The Colnago V2-R feels like a bike that wants to go fast.
