Colnago C72 Road – The excellence of Italian cycling

The Colnago C72 Road represents the ultimate balance between performance, craftsmanship, and design. Entirely handmade in Italy, this bicycle embodies the “Perfectly Composed” philosophy: every element — structure, materials, geometry, and riding feel — is developed to work in perfect harmony.

Performance and comfort without compromise

The C72 is designed to deliver a responsive and precise ride while maintaining comfort and control even over long distances.

Thanks to the redesigned rear triangle and improved vibration absorption, the bike ensures a smooth and stable ride. Tire clearance up to 35 mm allows for wider tires, enhancing grip and safety on all types of terrain.

Technology and innovation

Every detail of the C72 is engineered to improve the riding experience:

• Integrated CC.02 cockpit: lighter and designed for a more aggressive position and superior control
• Evolved geometry: perfect balance between racing performance and comfort, also suitable for long distances
• Reduced weight: frame starting from approximately 895 g (size 485), for greater responsiveness and performance
• Integrated storage compartment: a discreet and functional solution for carrying essentials during rides

Made in Italy craftsmanship

The C72 continues the tradition of Colnago’s C series, featuring a modular carbon construction composed of multiple parts assembled by hand.

This method allows extremely precise control over stiffness, comfort, and force distribution, delivering superior build quality compared to monocoque frames.

Every phase, from tube construction to painting, is carried out with artisanal care in Italian facilities, making each bike a unique product.

A unique riding experience

The Colnago C72 is designed for cyclists who seek high performance without sacrificing riding pleasure.

Responsive when pushed to the limit, stable and refined over long distances, it is a bike that adapts to the rider and enhances every ride.
