Colnago V5rs 

The V5Rs frame kit (size 485) is 12.5% lighter than the V4Rs. This weight saving has been achieved thanks to a combination of new lamination and production techniques.

Colnago has made advancements in manufacturing technology and carbon lamination studies. The challenge, which has been overcome, was to improve the precision of each layer's placement in order to achieve an ambitious weight target while maintaining the bike's stiffness properties, which have been highly appreciated by riders using the V4Rs.

In constructing this frame, special semi-rigid mandrels have been used, developed specifically to ensure the perfect arrangement of carbon layers: this allows for precise quality control and a perfect match between the design goals and the final product's performance.

A New, More Aerodynamic Tube Shape
The know-how developed during the studies for the Y1Rs was also used for the development of this light and versatile bicycle.

The V5Rs features a thinner head tube and new fork blade profiles that combine lightness, stiffness, and improved aerodynamics.

Additionally, the seatpost and seat tube profiles are notably thinner and deeper. The frontal area of the V5Rs is now 13% thinner compared to the V4Rs.

The aerodynamic performance of the V5Rs is in line with that of many bikes labeled as “aerodynamic” in the World Tour.

Stiff and Responsive
The V5Rs combines lightness and aerodynamics without compromising stiffness and responsiveness, ensuring performance suitable for the needs of professional riders on UAE teams.

More Precise Handling
The V5Rs features a new, lighter, and more precise fork. The 32mm tire clearance allows the use of wider tires: more grip, better handling, and speed on uneven terrain.

Absolute Carbon Quality
Thanks to new lamination techniques, the arrangement of carbon fibers is studied and controlled in every area of the frame. The result is a lightweight, durable, and long-lasting structure.
