*The image has the sole purpose of presenting the product. Some assembly specifications may vary.

Weight :

925g size 485 unpainted Material

Ultra High Modulus Carbon Fiber

Frame :

The C68 is the pinnacle of the evolution of Colnago history, it’s the lug construction at its extreme development, it’s where 68 years of frame design meet the future. C68 is simply the new milestone.

Headtube :

The new splitted headtube is now stronger, lighter and more customizable than ever. Parts are reduced from 8 (C64) down to 6, this way we are saving weight (less bonding area) and machining/gluing time.

Fork :

Completely redesigned, it is more stiff and resistant and weighs 40 grams less. The C68’s fork has been fully redesigned, with an external rib-shape to give the rider more comfort but also to increase the ride-quality

Handlebars :

A dedicated new Colnago CC.01 integrated handlebar will also be available with the C68. Usually integrated handlebars are built using several pieces of carbon glued together, either on the drops or on the stem. However the Colnago CC.01 is made in a single piece, completely monocoque, advantageous to both saving weight and increasing rigidity.

FORK :

The fork changes from the previous TFS ‘D’ shape with the complex internal rib and the full length bonded metal thread bolt for a much simpler, elegant and lighter round 1″1/8 tube.

To run the brake housing inside we have adopted a special patented eccentric headset system, without having to use the larger cumbersome and heavy 1.5″ bearing.

BOTTOM BRACKET :

The C68 now boosts a revised bottom bracket, with the switch from our previous TF82.5 to a more “standard” and easy to find T47.

The system works the same way, with an oversized bb shell and internal bearings housed in alloy threaded cups.

You can assemble your C68 with a standard BB from Sram and Campagnolo, while you can use premium products such as CeramicSpeed, Chris King and many other offerings for compatibility with Shimano 24mm axles.

OTHER FEATURES :

The frame weight for a raw size 485 is around 925gr, just 10gr more (935gr) for the titanium version.

FROM LUGS TO PARTS :

The number of parts that complete the frame is the same as with the previous C series (C64).

Even though from an aesthetics point of view, its lines and styling may be more similar to that of a frame manufactured in one piece.

There are still some visible joints on the C68 to trace back to our root, while other joints would appear invisible due to the new streamlined design.

HEADTUBE :

The new split headtube is now stronger, lighter and more customizable than ever.

The new layout allows stack and reach variations, along with improved stiffness for an enhanced riding experience.

INTEGRATED MULTITOOL :

Returning to a round steerer tube allows us to put a touch of “we ride too” into the bike.

Everyone needs, at some point, a multitool to face every small adjustment that may be required during an epic or not so epic ride (like a flat tire).

So we integrated that tool into the headset top cap.

Rotate and pull, that’s it.

Campagnolo Bora Ultra WTO :

Campagnolo Bora Ultra WTO “Bora Ultra WTO wheels embody what Campagnolo is all about: maximum expression of the use of carbon, R&D of structure and aerodynamics and painstaking attention to detail.

Performance, quality and looks: all taken to the next level.

Shimano Dura-Ace C50 :

The all-rounder of the new DURA-ACE wheel lineup, the C50 is both lighter than the previous C40 model and nearly as aerodynamic as the previous C60. It’s a wheelset at home in a wide range of conditions

Zipp 303 Firecrest :

Zipp’s 303 Firecrest® Tubeless Disc-brake wheelset is designed for the real world… a world of imperfect conditions, road surfaces, and elements where the bottom line is simple. Efficiency = speed. It’s faster, lighter, and more capable over varied terrain—whether the surface is pavement in all its conditions or no pavement at all. Deeply rooted in Zipp’s drive to conquer the Spring Classics, the new 303 Firecrest is remade with a purpose-made approach for the demands of modern road bikes.

Groupsets :

Shimano Dura Ace Di2 Disc 12s

The pinnacle of Shimano road technology and innovation, the new 12-speed R9200 DURA-ACE is our fastest, most inspired drivetrains ever. Speed was the driving force behind the new generation of road groups, and every decision our designers made was to make you faster.

Shimano Ultegra Di2 12s :

The revolutionary Di2 shifting system solves the challenges drivetrains present to the power-delivery equation in cycling. Di2 gives you instant, accurate, lighting-fast shifts the first and every time, at the push of a button

Sram Red eTAP AXS :

SRAM RED eTap AXS offers wider range and closer progression, so you’re always in the right gear. A quiet, secure and smooth ride, whatever the terrain. A system that does exactly what you want, when you want. And it’s still wireless.

Campagnolo Super Record EPS :

Campagnolo has always been a pioneer in innovation for racing bike transmission and now continues its research with the aim of constantly improving the cycling experience. The Super Record electronic groupset, considered a benchmark for its performance and reliability, is now available in a 12-speed version.

Saddle :

Prologo Scatch M5 Ti :

Scratch M5 CPC is designed to be the next level of performance. The CPC technology is the same used in Formula1, patented by Prologo for the cycling industry. The 3D polymer cones maximize the grip when assuming an aggressive position and help to change position quickly on the saddle. On the no PAS version the special “AIR CPC”, with more room from one polymer and the other, offers +10% air cooling than standard closed saddles.

Selle Italia SLR Boost :

The SLR Boost Superflow, with rail in TI316 ∅7mm, revolutionizes and renews the unmistakable values of a great classic like the SLR. The perfect combination of comfort and performance, which has always distinguished this model, is further underlined by its compact shape and unprecedented lightness.

Prologo Scratch M5 CPC :

Tyres :

PIRELLI PZERO Velo :

P ZERO™ Race TLR is crafted to pack all the benefits of tubeless technology into a race-ready all-rounder which outperforms all cycling tyres we have created before, tubulars included.
