- OVERVIEW
- GEOMETRY
- SPECIFICATIONS
WHEELS UP TO 32 MM: The bicycle is evolving: more space for tyres allows us to meet the needs of all cyclists and to be compatible with the largest number of wheels and tyres on the market.
T47 BOTTOM BRACKET: Larger diameter bearings have better endurance and reduce rolling friction.
RIGIDITY AND STEERING PRECISION WITH THE NEW STEERER TUBE: The larger diameter compared to the C64 allows greater rigidity and a better feeling of safety when riding on more technical trails.
LIGHTENED AND UPDATED FORK: The fork has been optimised to be lighter while retaining the same degree of rigidity and precision.
INTEGRATED MULTITOOL: Sooner or later, everyone needs a multitool to deal with any small adjustments that may be necessary during a ride (such as a flat tyre). We have integrated this tool into the top cap of the headset.
CERAMIC SPEED SLT HEADSET: The headset bearings are treated with Ceramic Speed's SLT technology, which virtually cuts out the need for any maintenance during the life of the product
AGGRESSIVE GEOMETRIES: The geometry of the C68 Road also makes it a suitable bike for those seeking speed and more aerodynamic positions. Reach, stack, head angle and other parameters are comparable to those of the V4Rs, our dedicated race bike.
FORK: The fork changes from the previous TFS 'D' shape with the complex internal rib and the full length bonded metal thread bolt for a much simpler, elegant and lighter round 1"1/8 tube.To run the brake housing inside we have adopted a special patented eccentric headset system, without having to use the larger cumbersome and heavy 1.5" bearing.
BOTTOM BRACKET: The C68 now boosts a revised bottom bracket, with the switch from our previous TF82.5 to a more "standard" and easy to find T47.The system works the same way, with an oversized bb shell and internal bearings housed in alloy threaded cups.You can assemble your C68 with a standard BB from Sram and Campagnolo, while you can use premium products such as CeramicSpeed, Chris King and many other offerings for compatibility with Shimano 24mm axles.
OTHER FEATURES: The frame weight for a raw size 485 is around 925gr, just 10gr more (935gr) for the titanium version.
HEADTUBE: The new split headtube is now stronger, lighter and more customizable than ever.The new layout allows stack and reach variations, along with improved stiffness for an enhanced riding experience.
FROM LUGS TO PARTS: The number of parts that complete the frame is the same as with the previous C series (C64).Even though from an aesthetics point of view, its lines and styling may be more similar to that of a frame manufactured in one piece.There are still some visible joints on the C68 to trace back to our root, while other joints would appear invisible due to the new streamlined design.
INTEGRATED MULTITOOL: Returning to a round steerer tube allows us to put a touch of "we ride too" into the bike.Everyone needs, at some point, a multitool to face every small adjustment that may be required during an epic or not so epic ride (like a flat tire).So we integrated that tool into the headset top cap.Rotate and pull, that's it.
