Colnago All New Aero Bike

[wheelsONfire]

Mostly curious of what the price will be

Compared to V4Rs (fixed at BB)

An interview from about a year ago.
Machine translate the relevant part.

- I understand that teams have one V4Rs for every stage. Not a few teams ride both lightweight and aero models. Do you have an opinion on that?

Pogačar: There are advantages and disadvantages. For example, Oliveira wants the aero model because he rides for his teammates on flat sections and serves as a lead-out. I myself think it would be good to ride an aero bike to build up strength on the flat stages and then ride a lightweight bike on the mountain stages. I'm not afraid to switch bikes. But for some people, there is the hassle of choosing the frame size.... David (Formolo) wouldn't like that.

- ... So you are saying that Pogachal would like to see the concept revived?

Pogačar: Yes! Come back, Concept! (lol)

Aesthetically, look pretty good to me.

Looks great in real life.

Tests conducted in real-world configurations show that the Y1Rs requires 20 fewer watts than the V4Rs to maintain a speed of 50 km/h.

3 handlebar sizes. Why even try. The rest of the bike looks great tho

Considering how bad the v4 is, this should be more or less in line with the bunch but nothing crazy fast.

I just read a white paper about Y1RS and it make me curious - when V4RS arrives, they brag about aerodynamics of V4RS - "bike is not that aero without rider, because we are focused in aeroness with a rider."
Now, also in their documents they compare Y1RS, V4RS and "competitor", and it's clearly visible that V4RS sucks also with a rider manequinne on it.

But i'm quite happy about a look of a bike in white CW.

The bike looks better than on the photos but just as an design object and it screams uneccessary complexity. The handlebar is honestly a gimmick if not a safety concern and is probably porky as hell. The computer mount will definitely be even worse than the oltre one.

Don't believe their aero claims for a second and i am eager to see independent testing.

OK I will do a dirty math here. V4RS is claimed to be 13 W faster than V3RS with the same shallow wheels, and 27 W faster switching to deep wheels.
Y1RS now is claimed to be 20 W faster than V4RS. All data claimed at 0 yaw, and at higher yaw the number will be slightly larger.

Let's say Y1RS is 35 W faster than V3RS at 50 km/h, so it's equivalent as ~25 W at 45 km/h. V3RS is 229 W in tour results.

P. S. Y1RS in the wind tunnel is equipped with a taped Skypivot.

[mxsc]

weren't most of the v4rs' claimed aero savings coming from the cc01?

Looks like only 2 sizes to me. Am I missing something? I would really like to see a 3rd smallest option (357mm)

1) The TT1 is one of, if not the fastest TT bike in the World Tour.
2) I’ve seen the computer mount, the base uses GoPro-style fingers and attaches with a single-bolt to the underside of the “stem.” It looks fine.
