Colnago has launched the V4Rs, the final rendition of the Colnago Prototipo ridden by Tadej Poga\u010dar through the 2022 season and, unsurprisingly, an evolution of the V3Rs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Colnago V3Rs, <\/span>launched in 2019<\/span><\/a>, is a proven race-winner, being the bike of choice for the UAE Team Emirates of Poga\u010dar, who won the 2021 Tour de France aboard the bike.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colnago says it set out to improve the V3Rs on all fronts, with a goal to refine aerodynamics, stiffness, weight, comfort and strength.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colnago claims the V4Rs will save up to 27.7 watts from improved aerodynamics, while the frame is also \u2013 wait for it \u2013 57g lighter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Italian brand says the frame is also stiffer both when sprinting and while seated thanks to the new Real Dynamic Stiffness (RDS) design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, before we get into the detail, the sizing geometry has evolved to offer a better fit for racing-focused riders, according to Colnago.<\/span><\/p>\n
