The Colnago C72 Red AXS Bike is the latest evolution of the most storied modular carbon lineage in professional cycling. From the C40's Paris-Roubaix victory in the early 1990s through the C68 and now the C72, Colnago has hand-built each generation of its flagship road bike at its Cambiago facility outside Milan — seven carbon parts bonded, banded, and finished entirely in Italy. That tradition isn't marketing. It's the reason the C72 rides the way it does: with a coherence and refined quality that full monocoque construction rarely achieves at the junction points.

The C72 is lighter than the C68 — the size-485 frame weighs 895g unpainted, 30g less than its predecessor — and the right build reaches 6.8kg complete. But the weight reduction isn't the headline. Colnago's phrase for the C72 is "perfectly composed," which is accurate: the bike is responsive without being twitchy, and comfortable over long distance without going soft. An updated geometry with an increased stack-to-reach ratio means it can be configured for a more relaxed, endurance-oriented position without losing the racing DNA the C Series has always carried. On descents, it's planted. On climbs, it gives back what you put in.
This build leaves nothing on the table. A complete SRAM Red AXS E1 groupset handles shifting and braking — Colnago's top-spec wireless electronic build — and the crankset includes an integrated power meter. That's not a common inclusion at any price point. ENVE SES 4.5 carbon wheels roll front and rear, a deep-section rim designed to balance aerodynamic advantage with enough versatility for climbing. The new Colnago CC.02 integrated cockpit connects bar and stem in a single unit — 15 grams lighter than the CC.01 it replaces, with a revised curve that supports a more aggressive, controlled position on lower drops. The build is finished with Pirelli P Zero Race TLR tires at 700x28, tubeless-ready, on a frame that accepts up to 35mm.
