V3rs Dual Pivot Frame Kit

The Colnago V3Rs Monocoque frame is ready to make your dreams come true.

Every detail has been studied and developed to obtain the maximum in terms of performance and comfort.

When Colnago created the initial designs for the all new V3Rs it focused on its’ experience with the V1-r and V2-r. The company was then able to develop and improve the concepts of lightness and aerodynamics of its road frames. Today the V3 represents the best of Colnago technology applied to a monocoque frame. V3 is fast on long climbs; in windy plains; on big Tours; in stages and in the most demanding Granfondo. It is perfect in all situations.

Features

The Design - While retaining some details from the two frames that preceded it, V1-r and V2-r, the V3Rs design has profoundly changed to align with some standards that have been consolidated in recent years, not least the possibility of mounting larger tyres – up to 28 inches. It’s extremely clean and boasts excellent aerodynamic qualities together with an unprecedented lightness. V3Rs is available in eight sizes from 42s through to 58s and in two versions, direct mount rim brakes and disc brakes.

Geometry - What is the point of making a light bike if you can’t ride it effectively? For this reason the geometry has been completely redesigned. The main features are the shorter head tube, the longer fork and a greater balance across all eight size options. The height of the bottom bracket has also been changed, it is lower, to improve the driveability of the bicycle with increased tyres (28c).

Carbon Fiber - To reach a new weight target of 790 grams for the size 50s in the raw disc version (including the metal components) Colnago used a new type of carbon fiber that allowed Colnago to significantly increase the rigidity to lateral flexions. The new V3Rs, compared to the V2-r, have a 12% higher rigidity in the rear compartment and 6% in the front head tube area. The ability to absorb vertical shocks has improved significantly, which translates
