New Colnago C72: Lighter, Faster, More Refined: Perfectly Composed
The wait is over.
Introducing the all-new Colnago C72, the latest evolution of the legendary C Series and a masterpiece where heritage, craftsmanship, performance, and design exist in perfect harmony.
Hand-built in Italy and engineered for riders who demand the very best, the C72 is not about excelling in just one category. Instead, it is a road bike where every single detail is perfectly composed, from stiffness and comfort to geometry, integration, and timeless aesthetics.
A New Chapter in the Legendary
C Series - Colnago C72
The C Series has always represented the purest expression of Colnago’s philosophy.
From the iconic C35, C40, and C68, every generation has redefined what a premium performance road bike should be. The new C72 continues this tradition with a refined modular carbon construction that remains entirely handmade in Italy.
Unlike monocoque frames, the C72 uses Colnago’s signature multi-piece tube-and-lug construction, allowing engineers to fine-tune every section of the frame for a unique balance of:
- Exceptional stiffness
- Superior vibration absorption
- Front-end stability
- Precision cornering
- Race-ready responsiveness
Colnago introduces the C72 La Scala
A limited edition of just 72 numbered pieces, dedicated to Teatro alla Scalaa global symbol ofartistic excellence and one of the most iconic expressions of Italian culture.
Colnago C72 - Designed for the Modern Performance Rider
The Colnago C72 has been developed for riders who want race-bike performance with all-day ride quality.
Its updated geometry increases the stack-to-reach ratio compared to the previous C68, allowing a more adaptable fit that leans toward endurance comfort while preserving the aggressive DNA Colnago is known for.
Ride Feel Highlights
✔ Faster acceleration and immediate power transfer
✔ Stable front-end confidence on descents
✔ Quick handling through technical corners
✔ Improved compliance on rough roads
✔ Tire clearance up to 35mm
✔ Better grip and comfort for long-distance rides
This makes the Colnago C72 ideal for UAE riders who want a bike that can feel equally at home on fast Al Qudra efforts, mountain climbs, and long endurance rides.
Lighter, Faster, More Refined
Despite its added integration and wider tire clearance, the Colnago C72 achieves an overall weight reduction over the C68.
The unpainted size 485 frame weighs just 895g, placing it among the lightest premium race-performance frames in its class.
It also introduces the new Colnago CC.02 Cockpit integrated cockpit, which is:
- 15g lighter than the CC.01
- More aggressive in shape
- Improved for lower-position brake control
- More stable on the hoods
- Designed with increased flare for better handling
A Timeless Italian Design Language
The Colnago C72 introduces a new visual design philosophy inspired by high-end automotive craftsmanship.
Its standout styling feature is panel gap matching, a concept inspired by icons like the Ferrari F40 and F50, creating a seamless flow between frame surfaces while still proudly showcasing its handcrafted lugged construction.
The result is a frame that feels:
- Technical
- Modern
- Elegant
- Instantly recognizable as a Colnago
Every junction, tube transition, and integrated component has been designed to create a visually pure silhouette.
Complete Integration, Down to the Smallest Detail
The C72 goes beyond frame performance with a fully integrated riding ecosystem.
Integrated Features:
- New aerodynamic seatpost
- Custom integrated carbon bottle cages
- New custom carbon Colnago integrated bottle cage with storage box included
- Storage box including Colnago repair kit with keys, spare tubes and C02 adaptor.
- Improved cable integration
- Full system harmony between cockpit, frame, and accessories
This level of integration makes the C72 not just fast, but beautifully practical for cyclists.
Exclusivity Through Craftsmanship
Every C72 frame is made in Cambiago, Italy, through a meticulous handcrafted process that includes:
- Carbon tube and lug production
- Precision bonding and alignment
- Hand-finishing
- Airbrush painting
- Final quality control
Because of this intensive craftsmanship, production is intentionally limited to just 3,000 frames per year worldwide.
That exclusivity places the C72 in a category of its own, a bike designed not only to ride fast, but to own for a lifetime.
