Colnago always took particularly care to the rider safety. Our product analysis lab utilizes the highest standards in the industry. Our frames undergoes through impact tests and fatigue tests, following both the international homologation protocol and our internal security protocol. Every frame must pass the homologation test in every size and in every specific set-up before going in production or before every test on the road.

Colnago production process implies intensive use of prototyping technologies. Before realising the final model, we analyse specifications and different variables through samples and lab tests. The first visual and dimensional analysis is made through visual prototyping software, which allows us to evaluate inferences and evaluate if what we could do in the production phase. After that we go to the rapid prototyping phase, for a “real” visual analysis and a second dimensional verification. We use 3D printing machines and we realize samples in resins and plastic powders. Once validated the visual sample, we realize several bike samples with different features in order to further test them in lab and on the road.

As the popularity of granfondo and sportive events has grown in recent years, a new type of rider has come to road cycling. Without a lifetime of acclimatisation to a tucked riding position, these riders are not comfortable on a traditional road racing bicycle, but they still demand and deserve a superb ride.

With our new Real-X geometry, Colnago provides sportive riders with a more upright and less aggressive riding position. By extending the head tube 20mm on our Ace model, we give a riding position that’s better suited for enjoying the scenery, while maintaining the legendary Colnago handling, stability and ride safety.

Having a more upright riding position puts less strain on the rider’s shoulder and neck, allowing them to achieve a perfect position and still enjoy the legendary Colnago ride.
