Colnago V4RS Shimano Dura Ace 9270 + Enve SES 3.4 limited edition
Only one objective: to win.
This bicycle has been engineered and built to do just one thing: win. The Colnago V4Rs is the results of years of research and tests in the World Tour. Improved stiffness, better aerodynamics, weight decrease.
A winning bicycle must be stiff, light, aerodynamic, comfortable and robust. The V4Rs is today's best bike by mix of all these characteristics. Only one objective: to win.
Stiff and responsive where you need it
The V4Rs has peculiar carbon laminations, designed and tested with particular attention to the areas of the frame most subject to tension. Pedalling power is transmitted to the frame immediately and effectively, more than any other bike in the World Tour.
Unparalleled ridebilty and precision
The lightened and revised fork makes the bike much more rideable downhill, in groups and on technical courses.
Narrower front area
The front area of the bike has been optimised with lines that follow and facilitate airflow. The V4Rs is the bike you want to be on when you are alone, in a breakaway, on your way to victory.
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.
Ceramic Speed SLT headset
The headset bearings are treated with Ceramic Speed's SLT technology, which virtually cuts out the need for any maintenance during the life of the product
Easier bike fitting
The increase in reach and stack between the different geometries is linear: This allows for an easier bike fitting to enable the rider to find the perfect riding position.
We validated every design decision in a World Tour a competition context. A project must not only look good on paper. It has to work well in real life.
The bike we made to celebrate Tadej’s victory at the Giro.
Oropa, Perugia, Prati di Tivo, Mottolino, Santa Cristina Valgardena and Bassano del Grappa. Six stage victories and 20 stages, out of 21, in pink. Tadej Pogacar, captain of the UAE Team Emirates, provided three weeks of show along the roads of the Giro.
This is the bike that we made to celebrate the exploits of the young Slovenian talent: a special bike, all pink, that Tadej honoured with a splendid victory in the stage characterised by the double ascent of Monte Grappa, and with which he paraded to the finish line in Rome in the final catwalk.
Concept and design
Having our production site in Cambiago allows us to work on materials and specific frame parts with great accuracy and speed. Ahead of everyone else.
Prototyping
After an initial skimming via software using fluid-dynamic models, the best-performing models are produced as prototypes.
In-house testing
In addition to wind tunnel testing, the V4Rs prototypes were tested on special machines that measure carbon flexion in various high-wattage pedalling scenarios.
Race validation
In early 2022 we built the final prototype of the V4Rs in five different micro-variants, each different in terms of carbon lamination in certain key parts. The Colnago Prototype - that's the name - was used during the Tour de France and in the second half of the season by the UAE Emirates team
Final tuning and production
The feedback from the race gave us a clear indication of which lamination was the best for versatility and performance. That one was selected for market introduction.
