Colnago C68 Ti Road Frameset

Description

Lightness & Infinity

Handmade in Italy, the Colnago C68 Road Ti Frameset combines the nobility of titanium and the lightness of carbon, the tradition of hand-laid carbon, and the innovation of 3D printing.

The C68 Road Ti is the most prestigious bike in the C68 family. The modular carbon construction is enhanced by the use of 3D-printed titanium joints for absolute coupling precision. Unrivaled riding pleasure for a bike in a class of its own.

The geometry of the C68 Road 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, their dedicated race bike.

The Modular Tradition

The tradition of modular carbon frames began at Colnago in the early 1990s. Colnago was the first brand in cycling history to introduce carbon frames to professional teams, winning a technically demanding race like Paris-Roubaix with the legendary C40.

The frame is constructed from several carbon parts that are hand-assembled in Italy through joints and interlocks.

The carbon bands are applied manually at the joint between the carbon modules, after which they are filed and polished to achieve the look of a monocoque frame with the best Colnago modular frame properties.

Features:

• 3D-printed titanium joints - The C68 Road Ti is constructed of modular carbon with two 3D-printed titanium joints. These are the joint between the head tube and top tube, and the joint between the top tube and seat post.
• Tires up to 32 mm - The bicycle is evolving, and more space for tires makes it compatible with the largest number of wheels and tires 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.
• Integrated multitool - Sooner or later, everyone needs a multitool to deal with any small adjustments that may be necessary during a ride so Colnago integrated a 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
