The Colnago C72 Carbon Road Race Bike represents a new chapter in the Italian manufacturer's prestigious C Series, combining generations of craftsmanship with advanced carbon engineering. Hand-built in Cambiago, Italy, the C72 uses Colnago's signature multi-piece carbon frame construction rather than a conventional monocoque design. This meticulous approach allows the frame's stiffness, compliance and handling characteristics to be carefully refined, creating a road bike that delivers exceptional responsiveness, stability and comfort. Designed for riders who appreciate both performance and craftsmanship, the C72 offers a distinctive riding experience whether tackling challenging climbs, fast descents or long days in the saddle.
At the heart of the C72 is a high-modulus carbon frame engineered to balance efficient power transfer with controlled, predictable handling. Refined geometry and an optimised steering arrangement deliver precise cornering and reassuring stability at speed, while improved compliance helps reduce fatigue over longer distances. Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 12-speed electronic gearing provides fast, accurate shifting, with a 52/36T chainset and 11-30T cassette offering an excellent combination of climbing capability and high-speed performance. Hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm front and 140mm rear rotors provide confident stopping power, while the premium ENVE SES 4.5 carbon wheelset combines aerodynamic efficiency with versatile road performance.
Every detail of the C72 reflects Colnago's commitment to integration, precision and timeless design. The newly developed Colnago CC.02 integrated cockpit creates a streamlined front end while improving handling and control, complemented by an integrated seatpost design for a clean, aerodynamic appearance. Pirelli P Zero Race TLR 700x28mm tyres provide excellent grip and rolling performance, while the Rad Liv. 5 saddle and Colnago Grip bar tape complete the premium finishing kit. Innovative details include a custom-designed bottle cage system with integrated storage, bringing additional practicality without compromising the bike's elegant appearance. With production limited to 3,000 frames annually, the C72 is an exclusive expression of Italian cycling heritage and contemporary road performance.
