V1-R Disc Carbon Road Bike Frameset, Matt Black/Gloss Decals (2015)

Product Description

Frame & Fork set only. Compatible with Di 2/EPS & mechanical systems. Disc brake specific. The V1-r is the new frame from Colnago designed for cyclists who are particular about their bikes weight-to-performance ratio. It is made with the highest quality carbon fiber, selected in cooperation with Ferrari, which is why is we use the Cavallino logo on each frame. The frame is monocoque, with aerodynamic shaped tube sections, & full-carbon rear dropouts. The V1-r is the best monocoque frame produced in Colnagos sixty year history. All of the V1-Rs tubes, including the fork blades & the seat stays, have a special shape optimized in the wind tunnel to make the V1 even faster. The V1-Rs fork is also a new concept, designed & structured to support the integrated front brake body. One of the most striking features of the V1-R is the adoption of a new standard for the braking system. Another major innovation found on the V1-R is represented by the use of carbon fiber monocoque dropouts & an internal replaceable derailleur hanger. For the maximum integration & aerodynamics, we offer the new V1-R with a special, dedicated seatpost. To increase the rigidity of this portion of the frame, without increasing the thickness of the tube walls &, consequently, frame weight, the V1-r uses tubes with larger sections. Sizes & specifications help you to choose the correct frame. This frame is approved by the International Cycling Union & therefore used in all races recognized by the UCI.
