The Colnago V3Rs belongs to Colnago’s earlier carbon road-bike range. Its official archive lists a 790 g raw disc frame. That is not the weight of a complete bike. Size, finish and components affect the final weight.

If the V1-r and V2-r were incredible the V3Rs are truly incomparable, the best technology from the Colnago brand.

In that competition Colnago became an unsurpassed coveted brand in the cycling world. The saddle clamp has a smaller design, to reduce its weight and increase its functionality, strength and safety. The Colnago V3Rs bicycle is available in a conventional brake version and also as a disc brake version, in various colors to choose from and in 8 sizes, from 42 to 58.

Now let’s look at his improvement and evolution part by part:

Design

The V3Rs developed the design of earlier Colnago models. Tyre width is measured in millimetres, not inches. Confirm clearance for the exact frame, wheels and tyres before fitting them.

Geometric structure

The head tube has changed and is now much shorter and the fork is longer, this gives the cycle more balance in the 8 size variations. The height of the bottom bracket has also been changed, it is now lower so effectively improves the handling of the bike with larger tires.

Carbon fiber

The V3Rs and its new weight of just 790 grams makes it the most comfortable and practical bike on the market. By significantly increasing the stiffness of the weight to lateral flexion it clearly shows its competive qualities.

Fork

The weight of the fork has also varied as it was considerably reduced compared to its previous version. It weighs just 390 grams, TFS integrated steerer thread included.. The new shape with concave chainstays in the upper part of the front sight optimizes the passage of the wheels allowing the use of wide tires and also with comfort and lateral stiffness. The frame is extremely clean and technically more aerodynamic.

Seatpost closure

Much of the effort has been concentrated in this area of the frame, both to reduce the overall weight of the locking system and to increase its functionality, power and safety. Therefore, the new locking system is smaller compared to the V2-r and allows more modulation in the tightening.

This article describes an earlier model, not an upcoming launch. Before buying a V3Rs, compare fit, condition and service history. Consult Colnago for model-specific information.
