COLNAGO C68 GRAVEL
For anyone who seeks the thrill of speed on the roughest dirt roads, but wants more than a simple carbon frame, here is a bike with a soul, steeped in tradition, handmade in Italy by the master craftsmen of Cambiago.
The C68 Gravel is a fast, solid and precise gravel bike that is fun to ride. The tyre clearance for tyres up to 42 mm is the best balance between speed and rideability. The modular construction and the clean, detail-oriented design make it unique.
TYRES UP TO 42 MM
It can accommodate tyres up to a nominal width of 42 mm. The choice to go no further is deliberate: the C68 Gravel is a fast, precise, snappy bike. A wider clearance would have changed its riding properties.
UDH READY
The C68 Gravel, in its HGWH (white) colorway, features UDH-compatible dropouts designed to SRAM standards. This makes the frame fully ready for T-Type transmissions and ensures maximum compatibility with the latest generation of Universal Derailleur Hangers.
CC.01 WIDE
The CC.01 Wide handlebar is specifically developed with a wider flare. A wider grip provides greater control in all driving situations and less fatigue on rough terrain.
COMPATIBLE WITH SUSPENSION FORKS
The C68 Gravel is specified with a rigid fork and CC.01 Wide handlebar. However, the frame is designed to offer a wide range of add-ons, in particular for different handlebars and suspension fork.
BOLDER GRAVEL GEOMETRIES
The longer reach and higher stack compared to other gravel bikes in the category. This offers an ergonomically superior riding experience, perfectly tuned for more challenging landscapes, while maintaining an overall aggressive approach.
3 MOUNTING POINTS FOR WATER BOTTLES AND BAGS
In addition to two bottle cages on the down tube and seat post, the C68 gravel bike also has two rivets on the top tube for attaching a frame bag.
THE C68 PROUDLY CONTINUES THE TRADITION OF THE MODULAR FRAME.
The frame is constructed from several carbon parts that are hand-assembled in Italy through joints and interlocks. The number of parts that complete the frame is the same as the previous C series (C64).
WE HAVE INTRODUCED A NEW PROCESS: BANDING.
The carbon bands are applied manually at the joint between the carbon modules, after which they are filed and polished to achieve the look of a monocoque frame with the best Colnago modular frame properties.
AN ART JEALOUSLY GUARDED AND HANDED DOWN.
The tradition of modular carbon frames began at Colnago in the early 1990s. Colnago was the first brand in cycling history to introduce carbon frames to professional teams, winning a technically demanding race like the Paris Roubaix with the legendary C40.
GREATER CARE AND PRECISION IN MODULE PRODUCTION COMPARED TO A COMPLETE FRAME.
The smaller moulds of the individual modules allow us to work with greater care and obtain the highest quality carbon parts.
