BIKE LAUNCH
Colnago’s flagship C68 road race bike has a new all-road version. The handmade-in-Italy C series is the pinnacle of the brand’s race machinery, and the C68 Allroad brings the same high-tech approach to endurance bikes with a little light off-road potential thrown in.
1 Frame tweaks
The C68 Allroad takes the race-proven geometry of the C68 and gives it a shorter reach and a higher stack to put your body in a more upright position and move weight off your hands and onto the saddle. The frame also dissipates more vibrations, keeping you more comfortable for longer and making it the ideal bike for big days on mixed surfaces.

3 More clearance
The fork crown and rear triangle have also been reshaped. This has helped boost tyre clearance up to a generous 35mm. While not enough for full-on gravel (a Gravel C68 is on the way), it’s a brilliant option for the likes of Tuscany’s Strade Bianche or Belgium’s fearsome cobbles. Or just the potholes of your local B-roads…
