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.
