Colnago Y1Rs: aerodynamic perfection
Colnago Y1Rs: The Evolution of Aerodynamics
The Colnago Y1Rs sets a new standard in aero road cycling. Designed to deliver unmatched performance, it combines advanced technology, innovative design, and comfort for the most demanding riders.
Innovative Design and Technological Partnerships
Developed in collaboration with Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi and the Politecnico di Milano, the Y1Rs was refined through advanced CFD simulations and wind tunnel testing. Its frame features revolutionary shapes, like the curved down tube and offset seat tube, reducing aerodynamic drag and improving overall efficiency.
The result? A 19% reduction in frontal area compared to the V4Rs, ensuring incredible speed and stability at high velocities.
CC.Y1 Cockpit: Ergonomics and Aerodynamics
The new integrated CC.Y1 handlebar uses a “Y” shape for added stiffness and improved aerodynamics. It also provides an ergonomic mount for your cycling computer, making data easy to see while you ride.
Perfect Balance of Stiffness and Comfort
Though speed is the focus, comfort remains a priority. The frame’s structure is 3.5% stiffer, transferring power instantly during sprints. Meanwhile, the adjustable seatpost with a specialized joint absorbs vibrations, enhancing comfort on long rides.
Certified Performance
Wind tunnel tests confirm that the Y1Rs saves 20 watts compared to the V4Rs at 50 km/h. This is achieved through advanced aerodynamic solutions, making it ideal for anyone seeking time-trial excellence.
A Masterpiece of Excellence
The Colnago Y1Rs is more than a racing bike—it’s a masterpiece of design and engineering. Every detail, from premium materials to streamlined lines, reflects Colnago’s passion for creating a truly unique product.
