Ace Everywhere."},"content":{"rendered":"\n

The G5-X is Colnago\u2019s next-generation gravel bike. Not an evolution of the G4-X, but an entirely new gravel platform, developed from a close analysis of how modern gravel riders actually ride, and what riders demand from their bike. The G5-X draws on Colnago\u2019s expertise in performance cycling, with design decisions reached after studying the challenges faced by riders in the worlds toughest gravel races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After studying these races, Colnago decided on the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increased Tyre Clearance: <\/strong>For grip, comfort, control and efficiency on rough terrain, plus better puncture resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slacker Head Angle: <\/strong>More stable at speed, better on steep descents, and better bump absorption because the angle better matches square edge hits; thus allowing the fork to compress more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increased Rake: <\/strong>Balances the slacker head angle, keeps the steering lighter and quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Carbon Layup: <\/strong>Softer on the harshest terrain, more responsive when you push.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lower Bottom Bracket: <\/strong>Lower centre of gravity, more stable, and counteracts the larger tyres which are taller and raise the bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longer Wheelbase: <\/strong>More stable at speed, and the bike pitches less over rough terrain. Plus, greater traction because the load is spread more evenly between the wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrying Capacity:<\/strong> 6 mounting points, and built in frame storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
