A modular frame for a gravel bike unlike any other.
The C68 Gravel represents the purest Colnago philosophy applied to the gravel world; it’s modular frame construction is entirely made in Italy, crafted by hand.
The C68 Gravel isn’t a mere gravel bike, it is a masterpiece that embodies the perfect fusion of Colnago technology and timeless Italian craftsmanship, meticulously crafted for cyclists who seek the ultimate riding experience. For those who yearn for the thrill of pure speed on the wildest gravel roads - and everything in between, but also demand more than just a carbon frame - they seek a bike with a soul, steeped in heritage.
The concept of the C68 platform is rooted on a modular frame and is characterised by the same soul of the C68 Road and Allroad versions, which is based on performance but also oriented towards riding enjoyment.
Clean design, integration and modernity are at the core of the project.
GRAVEL, ACCORDING TO COLNAGO C SERIES
Our C68 Gravel bicycle represents a harmonious blend of modern engineering and timeless craftsmanship. The result is a frame that comes with the aesthetics of a contemporary monocoque while delivering the advantages of a modular construction. The essence of this design is unparalleled flexibility, setting it apart from all others in the realm of high-end bicycles.
The C68 Gravel isn't just a bike; it's a testament to the discerning taste of riders who seek the epitome of cycling performance. Whether your journey unfolds the White Roads of Tuscany or the most technical of Girona singletrack, this gravel machine is your steadfast companion.
A BIKE THAT UNITES THE PAST WITH THE FUTURE
Colnago's rich history is inseparable from the world of racing, where our commitment to excellence has yielded remarkable victories. Among them, the legendary Paris-Roubaix race stands out. It was the ultimate test for the C40, the inaugural carbon-lugged frame, celebrated for its durability and performance. The C40 secured its place in cycling history with five resounding victories in the grueling Hell of the North, marking the first carbon bike to conquer this race.
The C Series, dedicated to modular frame tradition, carries this legacy forward, evolving designs to seamlessly blend contemporary aesthetics with exceptional performance. Our ambition was to craft a gravel bike that pays homage to off-road terrain, effectively leveraging the enduring benefits of modular construction.
GRAVEL SPECIFIC GEOMETRIES
In the world of gravel cycling, precision is paramount. The C68 Gravel has different geometry than the Colnago G3-X, prioritising comfort and composure on rugged terrain. Hence, it comes with a longer reach and taller stack, offering an ergonomically superior riding experience, perfectly poised for challenging landscapes, while maintaining an overall aggressive setting.
42MM REAL TIRE CLEARENCE
The C68 Gravel offers an extensive tire clearance that accommodates wheel widths up to 42mm (real tire width), in line with the fast gravel bikes standards. Thanks to this flexibility, your journey, whether on a dirt road or an off-road trail, will have no boundaries.
COLNAGO CC.01 WIDE
Our commitment to excellence is evident in every detail of the C68 Gravel. It boasts enhancements in the CC.01 cockpit, specifically developed with wider flare. A wider grip guarantees more control in every riding situation and less fatigue over rough terrain. The seat post clamp, too, has been revised, with a more powerful tightening system and an improved rubber cover.
GREATER COMPATIBILITY AND OPTIMIZATION
The C68 Gravel is sold in a configuration with a rigid carbon fork and the Colnago CC.01 Wide. However, the frame has been designed to offer a wide range of integrations, in particular for different handlebars and suspended fork.
