The Colnago V5Rs Ultegra Di2 is the bike Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates take to the biggest races on the calendar — and every design decision reflects that standard. The V5Rs is the latest evolution of Colnago's V Series, built around a single objective: to win. At 685 grams ready-to-paint, it is the lightest Colnago frame ever made, arriving 12.5 percent lighter than its predecessor without any reduction in rigidity. It is, in the clearest terms, what happens when a manufacturer stops chasing trade-offs and starts eliminating them.

The frame's carbon monocoque construction uses advanced lamination techniques that control the arrangement of carbon fibers across every area of the frame — giving Colnago's engineers precise command over stiffness, weight, and durability simultaneously. The result is a frontal area of just 250 cm², a 13 percent reduction from the previous generation, achieved in part through a narrower head tube that reduces air resistance without compromising handling precision. A newly developed carbon fork contributes to sharper steering response and accepts tires up to 32mm — wider rubber that brings measurable gains in grip, compliance, and speed on rough or technical roads.
Colnago's development process for the V5Rs goes beyond typical race validation. The design begins with CFD simulations developed in partnership with universities, prototypes are built via 3D printing for rapid iteration, then tested in the wind tunnel in full competition configuration with manikins. Final validation is done by professional riders on real roads. Colnago calls this the "From-Race-to-Race" approach: every detail has been shaped by actual race demands, not assumptions. This build pairs that engineering with a full Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset — 12-speed electronic shifting via R8150 derailleurs, R8170 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm front and 140mm rear rotors, and an R8100 crankset running 52/36 with an 11-30 cassette.
