Colnago C68 All Road Shimano Ultegra 8170

Welcome, C68 Allroad!

It’s not a road bike, nor a gravel bike. This is Colnago’s first model designed to go smooth and flowing on the tarmac as well as on light dirt roads. Welcome, C68 Allroad. With cyclists needs becoming more and more refined, Colnago is dedicating a frame to those who are looking for adventures and who are happy to keep going further, even when the smooth surface ends. The C68 Allroad is a dedicated version of the C68, a range of bicycles that best expresses the concept of ‘handmade in Italy’ and stays true to the true Colnago DNA, with the concept of multiple parts. The C68’s soul is based on performance but also oriented towards riding pleasure.

Wheel variants

Fulcrum Racing 600DB
This is the basic model of the Racing DB family, a solution that ensures performance and reliability. In training or during rides on asphalt with the gravel bike, the great versatility of these wheels is guaranteed by the new low-profile 24mm aluminium rims with 20mm internal channel in the 2 Way Fit version, a technical solution that makes the Racing 600 DB wheels suitable for excelling in various situations, on climbs as well as in windy conditions, and for accommodating generous tyres.

Fulcrum Wind 400DB
The combination of attention to aerodynamics and versatility creates Wind 400DB. It goes without saying that the design of the 40mm rim is the direct descendant of the 55mm profile: all the solutions developed for the higher profile have been brought back here, in a less specialised version.

It’s time to ride longer
The bicycle is designed to optimize the position on the saddle, making it easier to keep it for a longer time, especially for the back and the neck.

Optimized reach and stack
Compared to the C68 Road, the C68 AllRoad has a shorter reach and a higher stack. The upper body stays in a more upright position and the arms are less stretched out. This takes some weight off the hands and puts more on the saddle. This results in an increase in comfort especially on rough surfaces or during long rides.

Wider tire clearance
The C68 AllRoad has greater tire clearance than the Road model. It can accommodate wider tires, up to 35 mm. Wider tires are more versatile, more comfortable, decrease the risk of a pinch flat and, at certain pressures, have better rolling performances.

Revised tube shapes
The C68 Allroad is the first Colnago designed to go smooth and flowing on the tarmac as well as on light dirt roads.
Although it can handle gravel, this bike is built for paved roads, but also partially dirt roads, concrete roads, and lightly irregular surfaces.  To achieve this, Colnago changed the shape of the down tube, and reinforced the chainstays and the seatstays. Same superior feeling, broader adventures.

Handmade in Italy
The C68 Allroad is, like all the C series, handmade in Italy, from the phase of cutting the carbon fiber for the tubes to the final assembly.
