Colnago has launched the V4Rs, the final rendition of the Colnago Prototipo ridden by Tadej Pogačar through the 2022 season and, unsurprisingly, an evolution of the V3Rs.
The Colnago V3Rs, launched in 2019 , is a proven race-winner, being the bike of choice for the UAE Team Emirates of Pogačar, who won the 2021 Tour de France aboard the bike.
Colnago says it set out to improve the V3Rs on all fronts, with a goal to refine aerodynamics, stiffness, weight, comfort and strength.
Colnago claims the V4Rs will save up to 27.7 watts from improved aerodynamics, while the frame is also – wait for it – 57g lighter.
The Italian brand says the frame is also stiffer both when sprinting and while seated thanks to the new Real Dynamic Stiffness (RDS) design.
Finally, before we get into the detail, the sizing geometry has evolved to offer a better fit for racing-focused riders, according to Colnago. What you need to know about the new Colnago V4Rs
