It's light, rigid and strong.įrame constructed of Columbus Altec² Plus tubingīi-conic shaped tubing to increase torsional rigidity If you're looking for an aluminum road frame, this is clearly the best on the market. 2001 Colnago Dream Plus frame comes with either the threadless Flash Carbon fork or the Colnago Force Carbon fork. The ribs are obtained by the cold drawing process, which substantially increases structural rigidity while maintaining a lightweight frame.
By using this material and applying the latest technology, the Colnago Dream Plus combines the advantages of multiple lengthway ribs on the tubes with large varying cross-sections. Optional Fork upgrade: Colnago Force Carbon Fork (420 grams)Ĭolnago CT1 is now available in more colors.Ĭolnago lightened its top of the line aluminum alloy frame by using Columbus Altec² Plus biconic-shaped tubing. Supports for Ergo or STI levers on the steering tubes Titanium and Carbon fiber overlapping at seat tube and bottom bracket area for added strength Main frame constructed of 6AL/4V titanium The Colnago CT1 design brings you a powerful, lightweight and stiff ride that's clearly a contender for the Green Jersey truly designed for the aggressive rider. The fork is the great new carbon monocoque Colnago Force. This results in an extremely refined frame which, thanks also to the layering of the two materials in strategic areas (for example the bottom bracket shell where the carbon is interposed with the titanium lug), gives an impressive performance in resisting torsion stress. The rear triangle is constructed of carbon fiber to absorb road shock. The whole front trapeze of the CTl is in titanium alloy 6Al,4V, well known for its excellent mechanical properties and vibration damping qualities. Absolutely new, it has a Titanium-Carbon frame designed with the intent of uniting the top qualities of these two different precious materials.

COLNAGO C40 VS CT1 PROFESSIONAL
Structural soldering, the behaviour of the monocoque frame, the possibility of varyjng angles down to a thousandth of a degree, plus Art Decor paint and, most important, unbeatable racing performance, have all contributed to the global success of this professional frame. The monocoque structure of the C40 B-Stay frame means that no joints are required and provides excellent fatigue strength. The absence of a transversal bridge ensures correct distribution and reduced concentration of physical effort. In addition to carbon fibre monocoque joints and tubes, this new version - the C40 B-Stay - has a revolutionary vertical rear stay which provides the frame with increased rear flexo-torsional rigidity thanks to a substantial increase in its section despite lightening the weight of the frame overall. The C40 is the most desirable frame any racing cyclist could wish for. This frame has a patented construction method and has opened a new era in the application of carbon to cycle building. The Carbon Fiber C 40 - Best in the land! Colnago trademarks are highly detailed craftsmanship, exotic paint finishes and unique tubing shapes.

Today's COLNAGO, with its organisation, new premises, machinery and work methods is the logical continuation of COLNAGO as it was 45 years ago.Īlthough fully committed to research and new, technical solutions for its products, whereby nothing stays the same for long, COLNAGO has kept true to its initial outlook, and will adhere to it in future: to produce at all times the best possible quality that technical and scientific progress allows. Across the world, COLNAGO is the byword for quality, leading-edge technology and safety applied to the fascinating, many faceted world of bicycles.
