Frame

The C68 is the pinnacle of the evolution of Colnago history, it’s the lug construction at its extreme development, it’s where 68 years of frame design meet the future. C68 is simply the new milestone.

Headtube

"The new splitted headtube is now stronger, lighter and more customizable than ever. Parts are reduced from 8 (C64) down to 6, this way we are saving weight (less bonding area) and machining/gluing time."

Handlebars

A dedicated new Colnago CC.01 integrated handlebar will also be available with the C68. Usually integrated handlebars are built using several pieces of carbon glued together, either on the drops or on the stem. However the Colnago CC.01 is made in a single piece, completely monocoque, advantageous to both saving weight and increasing rigidity.

BOTTOM BRACKET

The C68 now boosts a revised bottom bracket, with the switch from our previous TF82.5 to a more "standard" and easy to find T47. The system works the same way, with an oversized bb shell and internal bearings housed in alloy threaded cups. You can assemble your C68 with a standard BB from Sram and Campagnolo, while you can use premium products such as CeramicSpeed, Chris King and many other offerings for compatibility with Shimano 24mm axles.

FULL CUSTOM IN TITANIUM

We love to offer our customers the best possible riding experience and we're conviced that a perfect fit on the bike is the key.

To do this, not only do we offer custom sizing on our full carbon frame, but we're moving things forward with new technologies, with additional manufacturing.

We're now offering a second version of the C68, boasting 3D printed titanium head tube (upper) and seat tube/top tube cluster pieces.

Thanks to this we're able to offer precise custom geometry and sizes if required.

OTHER FEATURES

The frame weight for a raw size 485 is around 925gr, just 10gr more (935gr) for the titanium version.

FROM LUGS TO PARTS

The number of parts that complete the frame is the same as with the previous C series (C64).

Even though from an aesthetics point of view, its lines and styling may be more similar to that of a frame manufactured in one piece.

There are still some visible joints on the C68 to trace back to our root, while other joints would appear invisible due to the new streamlined design.
