Colnago C68 Frame Set

The C68 combines racing geometry and performance details with the timeless appeal of the modular frame. The C68 is a champion of road bikes. A bike handmade in Italy to be enjoyed and admired. 

The C68 proudly continues the tradition of the modular frame

The frame is constructed from several carbon parts that are hand-assembled in Italy through joints and interlocks. The number of parts that complete the frame, i.e. 8, is the same as the previous C series (C64).

We have introduced a new process: banding

The carbon bands are applied manually at the joint between the carbon modules, after which they are filed and polished to achieve the look of a monocoque frame with the best Colnago modular frame properties.

An art jealously guarded and handed down

The tradition of modular carbon frames began at Colnago in the early 1990s. Colnago was the first brand in cycling history to introduce carbon frames to professional teams, winning a technically demanding race like the Paris Roubaix with the legendary C40.

Greater care and precision in module production compared to a complete frame

The smaller moulds of the individual modules allow us to work with greater care and obtain the highest quality carbon parts.

Wheels up to 32 mm

The bicycle is evolving: more space for tyres allows us to meet the needs of all cyclists and to be compatible with the largest number of wheels and tyres on the market.

T47 bottom bracket

Larger diameter bearings have better endurance and reduce rolling friction.

Rigidity and steering precision with the new steerer tube

The larger diameter compared to the C64 allows greater rigidity and a better feeling of safety when riding on more technical trails.

Lightened and updated fork

The fork has been optimised to be lighter while retaining the same degree of rigidity and precision.

Ceramic Speed SLT headset

The headset bearings are treated with Ceramic Speed's SLT technology, which virtually cuts out the need for any maintenance during the life of the product

Aggressive geometries

The geometry of the C68 Road also makes it a suitable bike for those seeking speed and more aerodynamic positions. Reach, stack, head angle and other parameters are comparable to those of the V4Rs, our dedicated race bike.
