Colnago V4RS Disc Carbon Road Frameset UAE Team ADQ

Colnago V4Rs Disc carbon road bike frameset. Built to do one thing - Built to win

Introducing the new Colnago V4Rs

Techincal details and development of the Colnago V4Rs frameset

To develop a bicycle that performs the best in all racing conditions is a tough job, especially when the starting point is the V3Rs, a bike which is already a proven winner in all kind of competitions: 2 TDF GC, Monument Classics (Liegi, Lombardia), Classics (Strade Bianche and cobble-stone stages), sprint finishes, etc. The only possible way to evolve without neglecting any detail is to work directly and constantly in contact with the best and most demanding riders in the world: from the initial design inputs, to the final race validation, passing through all the development phases. The new Colnago V4Rs was built to do one thing: BUILT TO WIN.

From Race-to-Race Approach

Taking inputs from the profesional riders from Team UAE, the new V4Rs evolution touched on all the areas of the performance: aerodynamics, weight, real dynamic stiffness, sizing and geometry, design robustness and maintenance.

Headtube geometry

Its shape has been revised and perfectly integrated with the new lightweight fork (designed to allow an effective tyre clearance up to 32mm) and with the new cockpit. Although the head set upper bearings are bigger than those of the V3Rs, allowing the cables to run inside without the need of the D-Shaped steerer column and enhancing the overall front-end stability, the overall shape has a better drag.

Aerodynamic data

The performances of V4Rs are those of an aero bike. Compared to the V3Rs, in a real race setup (tested in the wind tunnel with an athlete pedalling at 50kph with 1 bottle and one empty bottle cage) we measured an aerodynamic saving of 3%, corresponding to approx. 13.2 watt. With an advanced aero setup (aero wheels and aero Colnago Computer support) the bike had an aerodynamic saving of 6% (approx. 27.7 watts saved)

Better handling

The weight distribution has changed from the V3Rs. The front fork is now lighter and the overall weight of the frame kit + handlebar setup has been decreased by 56 grams. The result is better handling in corners and more safety and precision when going downhill.

The final step

This final step is what really makes the difference, when all the sub-systems come together to deliver the final behavior and performance of the bicycle the next thing to do is to test in real life racing conditions. The results speak for it`s self, the Colnago V4Rs is built to win.

Please Note
This product is a frameset and not a complete bike. included in the box is a frame, fork seatpost and headset.
