Colnago Y1Rs

Colnago had a long history making bikes suitable for professional riders to win races upon, that we could also ride if we so wished. But a C40 or C50 is a very different species to Colnago's front-line peloton bike, Y1RS. Tadej must have bleeped over race-radio that more aero was needed for next season. And Y1R1s was born.

The aero credentials are worn as badges of pride - "20 watts saved at 50kmh" - to clarify that is 20 watts saved over Colnago's V4Rs.
Every damn thing is subordinate to two things:

  1. Making Y1Rs UCI compliant and thus able to race on the world stage.
  2. Giving the world's best rider, the world's fastest bike.

Colnago are not hiding or fluffing this - the Y1Rs is: Built to Defy Wind. If this is not you then you would be better placed to look elsewhere - C72 for example.

"20 watts saved at 50kmh (over V4Rs)"

YR1s and You...

For most people, most of the time, who maybe struggle to reach 50kmh, never mind maintain for any duration. The Colnago C72 is a superior bike - more comfortable, kinder geometry, bigger tyre-clearances etc. But that is to entirely miss the point of course. The lure of the pro-peloton is strong and speed is addictive, If you have the legs, then YR1s is calling you.
