Colnago V2-R Art Décor Road Frameset

Colnago V2-R Art Décor Road Frameset

A company with a reputation for manufacturing some of the world's top-performing frames, Colnago combine innovation with understated style. The V2-R Art Décor Road Frameset follows on from the V1-R with the same frame weight of 835 gram, but with a far stiffer construction. 13% stiffer at the bottom bracket and 4% stiffer at the head tube, acceleration is instant and punchy, so you can kick in races or chase down attacks. This frameset is the perfect basis for your dream bike build.

A number of small refinements improve performance and this is a great all-round, lightweight bike with some aerodynamic benefits, so it will have you putting in your best performances, whether spinning up a mountain or sprinting in the bunch. The monocoque carbon fibre frame and fork are incredibly strong and allow for efficient transfer of power so you can be sure that all your watts go through your pedals and are translated into speed.

The seatpost uses the same 27.2mm diameter but the new seat clamp has a slick, integrated design which adds to the aesthetics, for a clean look. With a design borrowed from Colnago's Concept frame, the internal cable port has been moved to the top of the downtube, and the top tube and head tube junction have been redesigned.

Another improvement is to the rear brake. The location of the direct mount brake has moved to the seatstay so there is no impact of the cables on braking performance. With the popularity of wider tyres growing, the improved clearance for tyres up to 28mm wide is a great leap forward and increases this frames versatility.

Using the TheadFit82.5 bottom bracket standard first developed for the C60, the replaceable sleeves thread into the bottom bracket shell to accept any current bottom bracket. Packed with performance technology and features, this frameset also boasts looks that are guaranteed to turn heads in the peloton.
