Colnago Bike - Colnago CX-1 Carbon Fibre

Colnago Revolution is the top development and design project for Colnago in 2009, and the all-new Colnago. CX-1 has a special monocoque carbon fibre front triangle with an assembled rear triangle which is joined with a special proprietary bonding process. Colnago’s new CX-1 frame is the top of Colnago’s monocoque frame range and is positioned close to the Colnago Extreme Power and Extreme-C in performance and design. Colnago’s CX-1 was created for strong riders who have asked for an aggressive, ultra-modern monocoque frameset from Colnago. CX-1 is a high-performance frameset with a dynamic ride that will allow riders to fly up any climb, thanks to its light weight, yet rigid enough to win any sprint without losing energy. This is the choice of Rocknassium/Bicycle Emporium Masters team. From $2999.

Technical Info

Multi-shape top tube:
Thanks to the unique polygonal profile of the CX-1’s top tube, this design provides a very strong, solid structure with two flat surfaces on bottom and top for extra stiffness and the polygonal profile also disperses extraneous road vibrations.

Rear triangle:
CX-1’s rear chain stay and seat stay shape have been developed to optimize overall torsional and lateral rigidity without adding weight.

Lay-Up Optimization:
Colnago’s new CX-1 uses both high modulus composite (HM) and high-strength (HR) unidirectional composite with a 3K twill finish. During the development of the CX-1, thanks to 3D design & Finite Element Analysis (FEM), Colnago has created an extremely accurate, optimized carbon fibre composite lay-up in the key zones where force is transmitted to the road for an incredible ride & performance.

Exclusive Colnago Carbon Fibre Fabric: Unlike many carbon fibre frames, Colnago uses an exclusive pre-preg Carbon Fibre Fabric that is specially selected by using electronic scanning technology that ensures the fabric will have the maximum resin dispersal and provide the lightest frame possible.

Colnago Headset System / C-HS2:
One of the key points of the ColnagoRevolution development project is the introduction of an all-new headset system, the C-HS2 Colnago Headset System. This is a special, semi-integrated headset, an all-new concept from ColnagoRevolution that allows easier assembly and maintenance without removing the entire headset assembly. C-HS2 also provides extra stability to the head tube, confirmed by real-life racing on the C-HS by Team Rabobank riders like Graeme Brown & Oscar Freire, who won various stages of the GP Mallorca and Tirreno Adriatic races.

It Fits You, Not You Fit It:
The new Colnago CX-1, with the new monocoque front triangle, perfectly synchs up with the well-known product philosophy of Colnago. “It Fits You, Not You Fit It”; Colnago CX-1 is available in 8 (42s\58s) sloping sizes and three different colours.
