Colnago C72 Road

The Colnago C72 is the latest chapter in the most storied C Series lineage in road cycling. The name marks 72 years since Ernesto Colnago opened his workshop in Cambiago, Italy in 1954 — the same town where every C Series frame is still handbuilt today. Production is capped at 3,000 frames per year, making it one of the most deliberately limited flagship road bikes available.

What separates the C72 from the C68 it replaces: 35mm tire clearance (up from 30mm), a revised CC.02 integrated cockpit — 15g lighter than the CC.01, with a new curve and flare for a more aggressive position — and updated geometry with a higher stack-to-reach ratio and steeper steering angle. The integrated downtube storage box carries a mini ratchet wrench, CO₂ cartridge, and TPU tube, all factored into the published frame weight. The frame itself weighs 895 grams in a size 485 — 30g lighter than the C68.
