The Colnago Y1Rs
Aero - The Colnago Way
The Colnago Y1Rs isn't just another aero bike-it's the embodiment of precision engineering honed through decades of experience. From record-breaking frames to cutting-edge wind tunnel tests, Colnago's latest creation speaks to the purist and the racer in us all.
Not New to Aero
Colnago's mastery in aero frame design began long before today's trends. Dating back to 1989, the C35 showcased their commitment to speed and efficiency. With each new iteration, Colnago refined what it means to glide through the wind without compromise.
Advanced Aero Design
Engineered with aerodynamic flow in mind, the Colnago Y1Rs uses wind-tunnel-honed tube shaping and carbon layups that minimize drag while maintaining Colnago's signature responsiveness. It's fast, not flashy-everything you want from a world-class race machine.
Stiffness Where it Counts
Colnago knows stiffness isn't about rigidity everywhere-it's about applying it where it matters most. The Y1Rs features a tuned carbon layup for sprint surges and efficient power transfer without sacrificing long-ride comfort.
Re-Thinking Your Cockpit
Aero starts at the rider's connection point. Every curve and contour of the handlebar and stem is optimized to keep you low, efficient, and in control-no excess, just pure function.

DEFY All Rules
The Y-shaped DEFY seatpost joint isn't just for show-it offers greater vertical compliance for all-day comfort without compromising stiffness where you need it most. With a design permitted by UCI standards, it follows the wheel's profile to reduce pedaling turbulence.
Integrated Bottle Cages
Colnago has left nothing to chance-even the bottle cages are shaped to minimize drag while maintaining practicality. With seamless integration, every ride is race-ready without sacrificing hydration.
A Sprinter's Dream
With a handlebar built to handle 1600+ watts of raw power and a frame that transfers energy with precision, the Y1Rs is perfect for explosive finishes. Whether you're breaking away or waiting for the sprint, this bike craves speed.
Pro Tour Colors
Precision in Every Feature
CFD
Colnago's CFD models are twice as accurate as the industry standard, reducing testing error and delivering real-world aero gains.
3D Sampling
Precision-made carbon samples allowed for millimeter-level adjustments to improve drag coefficients.
Up Against the Wind
Testing under real crosswinds showed exceptional performance across varying yaw angles.
Get the Champions' Feedback
Pro-level insights from UAE Team Emirates, including Tadej Pogačar, helped refine the bike into a masterpiece.
