The wait is over. The latest evolution from one of the world's most iconic bike brands has landed—and it’s a race-bred masterpiece. Meet the Colnago V5Rs, the lightest, most advanced road bike Colnago has ever built. Precision-engineered for elite performance and born from the relentless demands of WorldTour racing, this is the machine of champions. And yes, that includes Tadej Pogačar...
The Pinnacle of Italian Craft and Modern Innovation
Colnago is no stranger to the top step of the podium. With decades of Grand Tour victories behind them, the launch of the V5Rs represents a bold leap forward—retaining the soul of the brand while shaving grams and seconds in pursuit of race-day glory.
At just 685 grams (unpainted), the V5Rs is 12.5% lighter than its predecessor, without compromising on stiffness. In fact, it’s stiffer and more responsive, tuned for explosive accelerations and pinpoint control under pressure to meet the demands of arguably the best rider of his generation, Tadej Pogacar.
Born in the Wind Tunnel, Refined on the Road
Aerodynamics weren’t an afterthought—they were a starting point. The V5Rs has been meticulously shaped to slice through the wind, boasting a 13% reduction in frontal area compared to the V4Rs. The result? A bike that’s nearly as aero as Colnago’s pure aero platforms, but with the ride quality and versatility of a true all-rounder.
Add in internal cable routing, a fully integrated cockpit, and CeramicSpeed SLT headset bearings, and the V5Rs is as clean as it is fast.
Built for the Demands of a Champion
When three-time Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar lines up on race day, he expects nothing but the best. The V5Rs was developed with input from the UAE Team Emirates riders and refined through the punishing conditions of the pro peloton. From steep Alpine climbs to punchy Classics terrain, this is the frame that carries Tadej through every attack, every descent, every sprint.
He’s already riding it. And now, so can you.
Real-World Rideability
Tyre clearance up to 32mm means the V5Rs isn’t just a featherweight—it's a confidence-inspiring rocket that can handle real-world roads, cobbles, and corners with grace. Whether you're chasing KOMs or training for your next big event, the V5Rs adapts to your ambitions.
The inclusion of a T47 threaded bottom bracket adds reliability and ease of maintenance, while Colnago's blockchain-based frame authentication ensures your V5Rs is the real deal—down to the last fibre.
