Introducing the new C68 Rim Brake frameset, the latest addition to the C Series family

Colnago C68-Ti rim brake carbon road bike frameset. The charm of the C68 Road, with traditional rim brakes

Colnago introduces the C68 Rim Brake, a carbon road bike with rim brakes. It is the latest addition to the C series.
The C68 Rim Brake shares the design and geometry of the C68 Road, but differs in its braking system: the traditional rim brakes.
Being part of the C68 family, the C68 Rim Brake is also a modular frame, entirely built in Italy, hand-assembled in Cambiago using the handcrafted process of the C series.

Why rim brakes?

Presenting a rim brakes bike in 2024 is a choice that could be perceived as “unconventional” considering the current trends in the market. Even more so because it is made by Colnago -the brand that first introduced hydraulic disc brakes on a road bikeback in 2013, before any of the big manufacturers.

This bike however was designed and put into production specifically for those cyclists still fond of the traditional rim brake system.
For these people it is now almost impossible to find a modern frame with traditional rim brake system. Colnago wants to be there for these dedicated and passionate cyclists and does so with its most prestigious bike: the C68.

Techincal details of the Colnago C68-R frameset

The C68 will be available not only in the classic full carbon version but also in a limited edition with titanium lugs. With this option Colnago will employ 3D printing technology, starting from a digital model to create a three-dimensional physical object, the construction technique of the future.

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.

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.

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.

Remaining in the front section of the frame, note the integration of a ten-function multitool placed directly inside the steering cap (four-function multitool for the two smaller frame sizes). To maintain continuity in terms of spare parts and ease of production, the shape of the seat post is identical to that of the C64 and V3Rs.

1x Drive systems

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

Please Note
This product is a frameset and not a complete bike. included in the box is a frame, fork seatpost and headset.
The frameset is only compatible with Electronic group sets.

Professional Opinion

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.

CC.01 cockpit & CeramicSpeed SLT Headset Bearings
The Colnago C68-R is compatible with the CC.01 cockpit and has the CeramicSpeed SLT headset bearings. SLT Headset bearings (Solid Lubrication Technology) 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.

Seatpost/Derailleur Hanger/Axles
The seatpost is still the carbon fiber D-Shape of the latest models. The derailleur hanger, seatpost clamp and axles components are used in C68 version.

1x Drive systems
A new option allows for the removal of the front derailleur support for mounting groups with a single-chainring crankset.
