C68: the frame and technical features
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 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.
T47 Bottom Bracket
From a structural point of view there are some noteworthy differences compared to the predecessor C64: the bottom bracket now with the standard T47 has merged with the seat tube while the "top tube" is characterized by the presence of two lugs: one connected with the seat tube the other with the steering tube. These lugs are integral with each other in the full carbon frame version but there is the possibility of having these two lugs in titanium alloy.
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.
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.
The digital passport enables the owner to have the information of the bicycle or bicycles stored within digital vault the app at any time.
Integrated CC.01 Handlebar
The new CC.01 integrated handlebar features a single piece monocoque construction to save weight and increase rigidity.
Integrated 10 function multitool
The integration of a ten-function multitool placed directly inside the steering cap (four-function multitool for the two smaller frame sizes)
