Colnago C72 Road Bike: A New Chapter in the Colnago C Series
The Colnago C72 Road Bike is the latest evolution of Colnago’s revered C Series — a lineage that dates back to the C40, the first carbon frame ever to win Paris-Roubaix. Handbuilt in Italy using Colnago’s signature modular construction, the frame is assembled from seven interlocking carbon sections, bonded and finished by hand at Colnago’s Cambiago facility. The result is a size-485 unpainted frame weighing just 895g — 30g lighter than its predecessor, the C68.
Developed with both performance and versatility in mind, the C72 introduces several meaningful updates over the C68. The redesigned rear triangle and seat area improve road compliance, while the bike now accommodates tyres up to 35mm — broadening its capability across a wider range of road surfaces. An updated geometry with an increased stack-to-reach ratio allows riders to dial in a more relaxed position for longer days in the saddle, without sacrificing the bike’s racing character.
The C72 also debuts the new CC.02 integrated cockpit — a revised bar shape designed to enable a more aggressive position on the drops, with improved brake control and confidence at speed. It is 15g lighter than the CC.01 it replaces. Available in four colours and fully configurable, the C72 carries UCI homologation and comes with Colnago’s blockchain-based ownership registration, extending the standard warranty to three years when registered within 30 days of purchase.
Key Features
Improved compliance and wider tyres (up to 35mm)
Comfort and control are enhanced through improved vibration absorption and increased grip. A redesigned rear triangle and seat area improve compliance, while wider tire clearance allows for larger tyres — reducing road vibrations and enhancing traction, especially on longer or rougher rides.
Integrated storage box
For a bike conceived to deliver a total riding experience, a neatly integrated storage compartment was created - with a twist of the tab at its bottom, the bottle cage lifts off to reveal a storage compartment.
The new CC.02 integrated cockpit
The CC.02 has a new curve shape, that enables a more aggressive position and better brake control on a lower position - for better handling and confidence. It is lighter than its predecessor - 15 grams less than the CC.01.
Updated geometry - it adapts to your needs
While maintaining its racing DNA, the bike can now be set up for greater comfort on long rides. An updated geometry — with an increased stack-to-reach ratio — allows for a more relaxed, endurance-oriented position when needed.
Lighter than the previous C
The frame is lighter than its predecessor, enhancing responsiveness and overall riding feel. A size-485 unpainted frame (with no metal parts) weighs 895g, 30g less than C68. With the right setup the bike can easily reach a weight of 6.8kg
A unique riding feeling, a bicycle perfectly composed
The C72 delivers a unique riding feeling, perfectly composed. Responsive when pushed, yet stable and refined over distance, it adapts to the rider, revealing the true essence of performance: the ability to make every ride its own.
