Colnago CC.01 integrated handlebar

New CC.01 integrated handlebar 1/3

A dedicated new colnago cc.01 integrated handlebar will also be available with the C68. Usually integrated handlebars are built using several pieces of carbon glued together, either on the drops or on the stem. However the Colnago CC.01 is made in a single piece, completely monocoque, advantageous to both saving weight and icreasing rigidity.

This technical choice was developed during the construction phase through a particular combination of molds that enables four different width options of the handlebar (370, 390, 410 and 430 mm center center top) along with seven different lenghts of stem (80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130 and 140 mm). 16 combinations will be available to the market.

It features a relative long reach, a compact drop and a decent flare (+2 cm), but no outsweep. The drops have a 2cm flair (410 mm top becomes 430mm bottom) with the exception of size 370 wich has a 14mm flair. The reach is 80 mm (75 mm for size 370) and a drop of 122mm (119mm in size 370). The stem angle is 84 degrees.

The wider base of the drops greatly enhances bike control on descent, while the design simultaneously addresses today's demand to go narrower on the hoods for an improved aerodynamic position.

The hoods' width is reduced by 1cm, compared to traditional even measures. The increased reach (compared to the more standard 75 mm on compact handlebars) creates a more "into the bike" position on descents and a much bigger flat surface just behind the hoods on the top, for increased palm comfort with every type of brake levers. The Colnago CC.01 bar is designed for the modern wireless and wired electronic groupset and internal cable routing, but is still compatible with external routing and rim brakes.

Why a new handlebar was made? For several reasons:

• The Colnago CC.01 handlebar is lighter than the market average if compared to other internal-wiring optimized handlebars (weight 310 g for size 110-410)
• The minimal painting look has been chosen for lightness: the handlebar will be available in a single color version with glossy black graphics on matt black finish.
• The colnago cc.01 handlebar has been aerodynamically optimized
• The Colnago CC.01 will have a dedicated computer mount with a "GoPro style" bayonet and two different lenghts support, compatible with Garmin, Wahoo, Bryton and Hammerhead.

The handlebar kit is completed by the dedicated spacer kit, the steering cap containing the multitool and an optional cap that allows the adjustment of the fork height before cutting it.
As per Colnago tradition to maintain maximum compatibility with every type of athlete, the possibility of mountaing any 31.8 diameter handlebar with retractable cables using the Deda Superbox stem is guaranteed. Finally, compatibility with the integrated Deda Alanera handlebar is also guaranteed.
