1 Colnago V4Rs Colnago has introduced the new V4Rs, developed in collaboration with the UAE Team Emirates WorldTour squad. The team’s contribution was ‘fundamental’ in the long
prototyping phase and subsequent road tests and then directly in races. Colnago said the input received from the riders made it possible to work on clear and defined areas, such as aerodynamics, weight, real dynamic stiffness, geometry, robustness and reliability. The V4Rs has been designed as an integrated system, i.e. as
a complete bicycle in a “ready-to-race” configuration. The technical work focused on reducing the impact of the frontal area, basically the head tube, and the consequent better integration with the fork crown. While being compatible with third-party components, V4Rs has been conceived to offer the best aerodynamic performance in combination with the Colnago CC.01 handlebar which is also enriched with a 3D printed support, currently compatible with Wahoo Bolt V2, able to guarantee a further saving of 0.75 watts at 50km/h. The suggested price in Europe (Shimano Dura-Ace Di2
groupset with power meter, ENVE 3.4 wheels, Colnago CC.01 integrated handlebar, Prologo Scratch M5 nack saddle, Continental GP5000 tyres) is €15,260.

2 Look 765 Optimum endurance road bike
Look Cycle has announced the latest addition to its range of road bikes – the new 765 Optimum. The 765 Optimum bike has been fully redesigned from the ground up to offer a ‘less aggressive rider fit’ than previous pro tour models, said the brand, maximising rider comfort and efficiency for long days, rougher roads, and all seasons. The redesigned 765 Optimum frame utilises an ultra-high strength carbon compound and an endurance-specific carbon layup to dampen vibrations more efficiently than previous materials.

The new endurance- optimised geometry of the 765 Optimum frame deploys Look’s 3D wave carbon tubes for 20% more compliance than the previous model, while the T47 bottom bracket ensures a light, reliable, and ultra-efficient power transfer system. With tyre clearance up to
700 x 34 mm, the 765 Optimum enables riders to choose a wide tyre for increased comfort. Cable routing has been designed for integrated but simple and intuitive maintenance – the cables enter the frame below the handlebar allowing for the stem and bars to be removed without disconnecting the hydraulic hoses.

The 765 Optimum is available in five different sizes (XS, S, M, L and XL), with five options for complete bikes
and two framesets. RRP: Ranges from €2150 for the frameset, to €6290 for
the Shimano Ultra DI2 12-speed complete bike.
