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.

    What our clients say

    • "I tried the shorter cranks today and I like them - it feels like it's less stress for the back and it seems easier to ride higher cadence. In the end I had a good Tour with no back problems. Thanks for your help!"

      Bauke Mollema

    • "Very very personalised service. You arrive, they expect you, greet you by first name, have checked your file from past visits and set out very clearly what the process will be, what issues they're looking to address and how and they are happy to take the time to walk you through everything in layman's terms. Almost any professional service entity could learn a lot from how Cyclefit works. "

      Peter G.

      Recreational rider

    • "I'm new to cycling so needed some support on finding a bike that would be right for me. Julian couldn't have been kinder or more supportive, he took time to find out what I wanted from my cycling and then looked closely at my physical structure to ensure that the bike is a comfortable fit for me. It really is a 5 star service and far exceeded my expectations."

      MJ

    • "The personal service from both Phil and Julian is second to none. They have such a wealth of experience in fitting that they can almost tell at a glance if something is just a little off. It felt as though it didn't matter how long it took to get the best position possible - even for an amateur cyclist like myself. Can't recommend them enough."
