Colnago V3RS Colnago has a number of top-tier carbon fibre race bikes in its line-up. There’s the Italian-made lugged-construction C64, the latest in the iconic C-series. There’s the Concept, the company’s answer to an aero racer. And there’s the V series, an all-round racer that uses a monocoque construction method (like almost every other carbon race bike at the pro level, excluding the C64). It’s the last of these that Colnago has just updated in the midst of the Tour, and as the company’s highest stiffness-to-weight ratio bike, the new V3r comes just in time for the mountains. The new V3Rs offers stealthy cable integration, dropped seatstays, increased tyre clearance and an overhauled geometry to boot. And while the hefty cable integration is kept for the disc-brake version, there is a direct-mount rim brake version, too. Colnago V3rs
