The Colnago Y1Rs is an innovative aero bike that has garnered significant attention due to its unconventional design and performance in competitive cycling. It marks a return to form for Colnago as its first proper aero bike since 2017. This bike is not generally available to the public and is primarily intended for professional cyclist Tadej Pogačar, emphasizing its bespoke nature. The testing of the bike includes various rides to assess its performance in different conditions, despite modifications from the consumer version.
The Colnago Y1Rs created more of a buzz than any other bike I can think of before and after its release, primarily for its unconventional silhouette.
Colnago was the first to bring road discs to market with its C59 back in 2012 - tubular tyres reigned supreme in the pro ranks, and cables were still somewhat external.
This bike isn't for you, or me, for that matter. You can't buy one unless you go on a wait list, and I'd argue that you probably shouldn't.
I've been blasting around my usual suite of test loops to try and tease out what makes it tick.
