Colnago C72 Shimano Dura Ace R9270 Di2 + Enve SES 4.5 bike 2026

The C72 isn’t a bike that excels in just one area. It’s a bike in which every element is perfectly integrated. Handbuilt in Italy, it embodies a different approach to performance: not the pursuit of a single extreme, but the precise balance of all the elements that define the riding experience. Frame, materials, geometry, and design are developed as a single entity: nothing is isolated, nothing is exaggerated. This is the essence of the C Series: a design philosophy that allows every part to be shaped, finished, and assembled with a precise intent, bringing all parameters into harmony. The result is not just performance, but perfectly balanced performance. An Iconic Legacy A Colnago C Series represents a product of enduring value, widely recognized by the market. This is no coincidence: its reputation is built on an exceptionally high level of craftsmanship and a legacy in which every new evolution of the C Series has introduced significant innovations. Timeless design The goal was to design a unique and elegant bicycle that combined the DNA of the Serie C with a clean design that clearly set it apart. The design of this bike is that of a modern classic, blending iconic elements of cycling tradition while maintaining a fresh look for contemporary eyes. Unique riding sensation A “perfect bike” is one that suits your needs a bike that responds well when you want to push it to the limit, yet remains stable and comfortable for long days in the saddle. Precise handling for fast descents and rough roads The steeper head angle and longer fork offset result in a wheelbase comparable to that of the C68, but with more responsive steering. Geometry designed to accommodate modern, efficient riding positions The C72 features a steeper seat tube angle than the C68, allowing for more forward-leaning positions. Combined with the frame’s taller stack height, this enables the rider to adopt a position aligned with the latest findings in biomechanical efficiency Quick acceleration and direction changes The front triangle has been optimized to ensure front-end stability and precise handling. The down tube and head tube sections optimize lateral and torsional stiffness while keeping weight low. Excellence in craftsmanship Time is the most precious resource of all, and it lies at the heart of the C72’s value. Its construction requires a sequence of meticulous, hand-executed processes, each demanding precision, care, and the expertise of skilled craftsmen. This dedication cannot be rushed. That is why production is intentionally limited: no more than 3,000 C72 frames can be produced each year
