Colnago has just presented its new entry level model V4 and the form used to launch this bike is: “The same emotions as the V4Rs, but with a more accessible configuration“. This is an all-round model that enters the development range of the V4Rs model, the one that accompanies the successes of the teams UAE Emirates e UAE ADQ.
The V4 does not want to give up on technology and performance, so much so that its frame is a carbon monocoque: solid, rigid and reactive. At its core is the same research and development that made the V4Rs model famous.
Well distributed
The Colnago V4 is a bike that perfectly meets the needs of a cyclist who demands a lot from their bike. Many technical and design features have been added to produce a model capable of guaranteeing good performance in every area. The front end, for example, has a similar shape to that of the V4Rs, but with a thinner headset and a different fork design. A choice made by Colnago in order to guarantee excellent management of air flows when descending, especially when these are particularly fast.
Another thing to remember that was crucial to the development of this model is that the cyclist in the saddle is in constant motion. Loads and forces shift, the frame must therefore hold and support different forcesSometimes these even act simultaneously, as in sprinting or uphill. This awareness led to the concept of Real Dynamic Stiffness (real dynamic stiffness). The result is an extremely balanced bike, in which all the rigidities have been balanced and harmonized to offer surprising riding performance.
Technical details
The Colnago V4 features a traditional stem, and the SR10 was chosen to be equipped with either a Deda Zer2 DCR or Colnago R41 handlebar. Cable routing is integrated into both solutions, a feature that maximizes aerodynamicsHowever, the freedom of choice is maximum, given that the frame kit allows for infinite solutions. As for tyres, the maximum size that can be mounted is 30 millimetres, the same as the V4Rs. Size considered to be the best performing on the road.
In terms of groups to be assembled, there are various configurations to choose from., all to be accompanied with Fulcrum Racing wheels: Shimano Ultegra Di2, Shimano 105 Di2 and finally, you can use it Ram RivalThe Colango V4 can also mount mechanical groupsets and any type of single chainring.
The price of the Colnago V4 varies depending on the groupset you choose. It starts at €4.630 for the Shimano 105 Di2, then €4.830 for the SRAM Rival, and ends at €5.590 for the version with Shimano Ultegra Di2.
