NEW Colnago V4RS: All The Details Revealed!

[@galenkehler]

I'm glad they included a critique from Tadej for an unbiased perspective! 👍

[@Jakiou]

What was hes critique based on im looking on a v4rs at the moment But not if i only pay for the brand👀

[@swazi5]

Gotta say, the rainbow grips and fork are pretty sick

[@Zuckler455]

its pretty gay

[@escamunicha4276]

Only looks good coz its a colnago. It looks cheap

[@filippopogacar]

I love them

[@paulwebster4499]

Cant believe that im watching this video taking about 15k push bikes when we are all sat without the heating on in the middle of a recession

[@doctorno1516]

I actually got a real-life glimpse of the Pogačar prototype before TdF, when I rode some 15km with him at an event in May. It was all blacked out and he told us he was testing the new model.

[@markusseppala6547]

Would love to see a blindfolded test for feeling bike stiffness. Sure a bike feels stiffer when you're told it is but can you actually tell if you don't know.

[@AR-lz2br]

If we take into account that every brand company say their new bikes are lighter, stiffer, more compliant, etc, etc...and they will continue saying it endlessly, the answer is one word...MARKETING, which, means... "we want your money as soon as possible"

[@briansteele2723]

My friend and I tested the Willier zero Slr and the V3rs.amd kept swapping bikes, the Willier was far more lively but somehow more stable in gusty winds. ( Same wheels). Hopefully the v4 is more reactive for riders of all levels, but please try the Willier!

[@neelsahay5227]

Blindfolded, one could totally feel the diff between the extremes of a carbon race bike and vintage skinny tubed commuter. I love both, but sure as hell can. Hard to say if it would be as easily perceptible comparing two high end machines tho.

[@jeskli11]

I can deffinetly feel the difference in stiffness between my old Planet X Pro Carbon road bike and my currenct Cube Cross Race C:62 cyclocross bike (which I'm now using also as my primary road bike). The difference between top end road bikes just a generation apart would be far less significant as the previous models are some of the stiffest bikes already, but I guess either heavier riders or pros, who spend 1000 hours a year in the saddle, can feel it (or rather "spot some difference"). But I doubt this stiffness increase can have any effect on a 'normal' 70 kg rider with FTP of around 300 W and max sprints shy of 1300 W.

[@markusseppala6547]

@@jeskli11 I just upgraded to a 10 years newer frame (Scott CR1 2006 to Canyon endurace 2017). I'm sure I will notice the stiffness and comfort difference when I build the bike. I'm not sure I would notice it upgrading from 2017 to 2022 bike, but I could be wrong too. It feels at this point bike industry is designing the tests to give them certain numbers they can advertise.

[@stevensantana8049]

Wondering if Colnago is doing Rim brake as well too

[@peterthomas8053]

Just a nice from me. Both bikes valves not aligned, cranks not level, not in biggie/smalls and bottles in cages.😜 But, they were using shadow stands.😉

[@FREIXENEMET]

7,74kg on a 53 size? The bottle was full of water?

[@contactkrit]

54

[@FREIXENEMET]

I'll buy the new V4RS once I see it for sale on Aliexpress🤪

[@anderssaxkristoffersen1091]

You V3RS… the 98% same bike design, but with different laying of carbon sheets, and a few less sheets 😂

[@bronson911s2]

Beautiful cybicycles! Love Colnago's approach.

[@andrewhayes1339]

Love both & wouldn’t care if it was bright pink, I’d still ride it. But sadly something that beautiful will only ever be a dream for me 😢

[@saulsibayan]

I attended the product launch in Abu Dhabi. They tested it in 50 kph wind speed, not speed of the bike is traveling. Meaning, wind speed of 15 kph plus the bike traveling at 35 kph, equals a total of 50 kph.

[@cervelo9465]

I was surprised to read that the Tours were raced and won on V3RS and not as I thought C68. Anyway, a sad and bad day for Campagnolo. Colnago and Campagnolo go together like peaches and cream, bacon and eggs, beans and toast, cheese and pickle. 40 years ago the ultimate bike was Colnago with Campagnolo .... and it still is.

[@mvmadore]

Love the Colnago. I have one from the mid '80's which I totaled in a race crash but it still hangs proudly in my shop. I'd love to ride the new V4RS...

[@gcn]

Colnago make some very nice bikes 🙌

[@rudyelizondo1935]

Thank God I was able to buy my Cervelo R3 in 2014. I put Roval carbon wheels on it and size 28c specialized Roubaix tires. My bike is the smoothest and fastest riding bike ever. It’s also a rim brake and is super light at 16 lbs. I bought it for $3k and now days this bike with all the wifi spifi is about $30k. Wow, let the pros enjoy their new bikes, mine is perfect for me anyways. Very nice video guys, I appreciate them and enjoy seeing you all have fun riding these new beautiful bikes. As always, keep up the great work. Blessings and Merry Christmas!!! Peace on Earth and better prices on new bikes 😊

[@michaelgriffiths305]

Wowser what a good looking bike! I'm over 40 so if money 💰 were no object then C68 probably... This Colnago V4RS, with secret wheels and intellectual property rights regarding how they measure frame stiffness... all sounds slightly mysterious and typically adds to the allure of the Colnago brand. Bravo on the marketing Colnago! Appreciate GCN tech get to actually breakdown and help showcase such a beautiful bike. Great video Ollie & Manon! Personally, I don't think you need to be saying if it's quicker than an SL7 or the new Propel etc... genuinely who would it make a difference to? The pros don't get to pick anyway! However, a great follow up would be Ollie joining Pogacar for a day of his pre tour training camp. Manon can motivate like the 4 v1 video! I'm sure it'd be simple to set it up...😩 you could start by reminding UAE that Ollies never been a pro but took down "G" in his dad's garage 😉... therefore, it'll be good company/ test for Tadej during a four hour ride with efforts!!! UAE would have you back on the V4RS in no time. That'll be the proper test of rider and bike! Also, be good to see Ollies nervous face again e.g. pre 50 minute TT attempt or hour effort...

[@fernandodisola6675]

They want your money 💰 💰💰💰💰💰

[@firstname7780]

Very smart white paper. And I agree that even I aim for the best PR times with one bottle. 40-50 km / hour the wattage gains are impressive. And we have to understand that even if pushing such speeds sporadically, one does so less tired or pushes correspondingly faster for the entire time spent at 40.

[@firstname7780]

Wheels were ENVE and I as a user am not surprised Team UAE went the same route.

[@lorenzodestefano4043]

7.75 kg for a top end 15.000 euro bike is way too much... just a kg above the weight limit... rim brake for the win.

Something is surely amiss on the bike weight, almost a kilo difference between the two sizes of bike with same groupset and wheels. Was the bottle full on one bike?

[@stfu6397]

As un aerodynamic as a bus

[@johnerdam961]

As far too often GCN is behaving too uncritical towards the manufacturers. This is really disturbing and disappointing. I have learned a lot more about this bike watching the actual hambini video.

[@TheLanorth]

So pretty! And the bikes to!!!

[@saltycycling]

This is a cycling equivalent of Apple changing from a pointy edges iPhone to a rounded edges iPhone and telling you they've innovated. It's the same bike as before but you can get it in different colours. Simple.

[@theh2ohammer372]

[@JonathanHair]

No rim brake? :(

[@mikesmith2864]

Lovely to see the colorful handlebar tape. I spent 28 years selling bikes and trying to convince the riders to wrap their bars in anything but black, which just makes the bike look dirty and heavy.

[@simonalexandercritchley439]

Manon's V4RS is the better colour choice imho. Was Colnago the first Italian bike maker to use Dura Ace back in the day? Ollie's New Zealand accent sounds like an Aussie trying a kiwi accent. If I was rich a C68 would be a nice companion for my C40.

[@TTWalt]

[@gcn]

Hahaha Ollie not sticking to his own rules 😂

[@robbchastain3036]

Tadej and each pro on the circuit deserves the latest and greatest cycling tech for their competitions enjoyed by a worldwide audience. And because they are riding big miles throughout the year with lots of gauges to measure their performance, surely there are some who can detect even the slightest improvement here or there, as Tadej indicates in this video. But is every pro like that, are they some who can't really tell one way or the other, they just get on the bike and give it their best?

[@ThomasHubik]

Well they paid to say something good, probably scripted by marketers. Best if they say something ismt measurable, so u think u get more as well as in numbers.

[@robbchastain3036]

@@ThomasHubik For sure a rider needs to say something good about his or her bike/sponsors, totally support that, I'm just wondering if there are pros who are simply hard on their bikes and can't tell one way or the other, no blame, just their style. And speaking of riders representing bike brands, VeloNews is reporting that Specialized is ending its ambassador program where influencers get paid to ride their bikes in exchange for social media content and adventures. Hate to see that happen, especially if there is no severance to soften the kick out the door.

[@justaletdown]

fully intergrated cables + disc brakes. This bike just seems like a headache. Look at the difference of that sexy V3RS with rimbrakes compared to this heavy weight gravelbike.

[@fernandodisola6675]

Well said, these heavy bikes are getting stupidly expensive.

[@klx-y]

woohoo, that's the battle of the titans. Colnago switched to Shimano and jumbo Visma to SRAM

[@banjo7127]

7.75kgs in a top spec top money build 😂. Big weight penalty specifying Shimano.

[@tobycolin6271]

There’s still some V3 r/s about unsold same bike for a whole lot less money.

[@AndrewFredericia]

Not a fan of the common trend of Burqa bikes (matte black bikes) and all black cycling clothes. I understand that people want to match all their carbon parts, but it seems a little conformist and dull. BTW I own a Colnago myself, but its a Master X-Light steel frame. Love the Italian flavor.

[@vignales81]

only disc or even rim brakes?

[@rachelharvey71]

Rainbow wins it for me it looks awesome 👏

[@fernandodisola6675]

Too heavy, my colnago V3rs RIM Brakes with ultegra di2 12 speed weighs 6.7kg, its fast, agile, super responsive I don't think the claimed 5% stiffer shouldn't make that much difference, if you asked tadeg in what bike he'd preferred in private, I wonder what the answer would be 🤔

[@banjo7127]

2021 Bernal at the Giro and Pogacar at the Tour using Rim in the mountains…..says it all. That was probably the last year they were allowed the choice before the suits forced disc everywhere.

[@alexmichl3137]

Plus all these "tests" were unspecified "secret" tests done by colnago, with secret wheels. So the bike had probably the same if not worse results than the old one. But you have to justify the ridicolous price tag i guess.

These bikes are built for racers not couch potatoes.😂 People, racers weigh in at 70 to 80 Kilos, these bikes need 28 to 30 mm tires to be halfway comfortable. Building them for Hobby riders who weigh in at 80 to 90 Kilos is not easy. Get real.
