Colnago has announced its new top-of-the-line bike, the V2-R. 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Replacing the V1-R, the new monocoque frame features 🧜a host of small refinements and it looks lovely. It will be sold in both ri♈m and disc brake variants, the latter with flat mount calipers and thru-axles.

For once, there are no lofty claims about weight here – the V2-R's frame weighs a claimed 835g in medium, the ౠsame as its predecessor.

Bottom bracket stiffness has in💛creased by 13 percent, while there's been a modest four percent boost 📖at the head tube.

It can be hard to tell, but Ernesto Colnago is super stoked about his new whip

The fram🦩e now sports a slick integrated seat clamp, while a move to direct-mount brake calipers means there's officially clearance for 28mm tyres, and likely more unofficially.

Like Colnago's Aero Concept, the cables are routed internally through the top tube and a lovely looking if 🅺not overly practical carbon cockpit is an option. The V2-R also shares its threaded bottom bracket design with the Concept and the C60, employing Colnago's own ans🐬wer to press-fit woes.

Yes, there's also a disc version of the Colnago V2-R

Pricing and availability for💯 the V2-R is to be confirmed, but it's expected to be in shops in the coming months. Being a Colnago, it's safe to assume it will be ex🀅pensive.

This black and gold paintjob looks pretty damned tidy

I'll be riding this bike tomorrow, so look 🍸out for a first ride review on the V2-R ൩in the next few days.
