Colnago C68-R Disc carbon road bike frameset.  The pinnacale of Colnago`s craftsmanship

Introducing the new Colnago C68-R

Colnago C68-R Disc Carbon Road Bike Frameset HRBK. Of the entire Colnago range the model that best expresses the concept of ‘handmade in Italy’ is revolutionized while its DNA and the concept of multiple parts are maintained. Shape and refinement process has made it possible to optimize parts including the fork which is now more rigid and lighter and the introduction of T47 bottom bracket standard for easier maintenance.

Techincal details of the Colnago C68-R frameset

The C68 is made using a modular structure which is at the heart of the project and provides its excellence. Bonding the various parts of the frame instead of assembling them inside a mould as happens with monocoque frames still represents a uniqueness that allows for the creation of more sizes as necessary and if desired even a "made to measure" frame thanks to the titanium lugs.

The number of parts that constitute the frame is the same as with the previous C series (C64) even though from an aesthetic point of view its line may be more similar to that of a frame manufactured in one piece. The choice was dictated by the search for a modern look but always remaining desirable to the traditional Colnago customer thus widening the range of purchasing possibilities.

Lighter and more rigid

In addition to being lighter than the C64 in similar sizes, the frame is more rigid especially in the steering area giving better precision while riding. The shape refinement process has also made it possible to optimize some parts of the frame including the fork, now more rigid and lighter than the previous one with an innovative internal cable routing and which thanks to the shape of the new head tube can be built without the current and more complex "D" shape.

CeramicSpeed SLT headset with lifetime guarantee

The C68 will feature a CeramicSpeed SLT (Solid Lubrication Technology) headset guaranteed for life simplifying maintenance and reducing costs in the long term. The headset is composed of two identical bearings made by CeramicSpeed using SLT technology.

1x Drive systems

A new option allows for the removal of the front derailleur support for mounting groups with a single-chainring crankset.

NFC Blockchain

An NFC tag is installed on the C68 inextricably linked to the frame that allows access to information in the digital passport of the bicycle whose data is saved in the blockchain via the Colnago app for ios/Android smartphones.
