The Colnago E 64= Reviews are just fun.

May 30, 2020

We’ve sold several E 64 bikes this season and customers just keep telling me how fun it is to ride again at a higher level.  Gilbert writes: Hello Bill, I bought the Colnago E64 this week from you.  Took it out for a serious ride yesterday.  WOW ….. IT IS AMAZING!  I am telling you […]

Colnago Alfa Carbon

Product Hero colnago C68 Titanium

To achieve both stiffness and light weight, our alfa carbon process combines a one-piece molded front triangle with bonded chainstays and seatstays.

The carbon lay-up is tailored to each bicycle to give the correct ride qualities for its purpose. We also select the particular grade of carbon used to keep bicycles like the CLX 2.0 and Ace affordable.

For the Colnago CX-1 and Colnago CLX 2.0, the carbon lay-up has different thicknesses in the areas where most torque and stress are found – such as the bottom bracket and head tube areas – to ensure better stiffness, power transfer and handling.

Alfa carbon allows us to tune the ride in other ways too. The CX-1 and CLX 2.0 use curved seatstays to improve braking and handling under braking. The CX-1 uses rectangular oversize chainstays for maximum rigidity and precise tracking, while the CLX 2.0 adopts the classic leaf-shaped chainstay used on the EPS.

To keep alfa Colnago carbon frames light it’s necessary for the use of materials to be as efficient as possible. Carbon composites need only a minimal amount of resin to hold the fibers together. To minimise the amount of resin we use pre-impregnated carbon fiber cloth, aligned by laser and cured under very high pressure. This eliminates voids to reduce weight and increase strength.

All alfa carbon bicycles go through the same tough design and crash-testing process as our EPS and steel models. They dramatically exceed CEN standards.

Bill

Just checking in with an update on the C60 since I’ve been riding it for a while now.

As you already know, this bike is truly amazing! Without a doubt, the best road bike I’ve ever ridden. It’s compliant yet, quick to accelerate when you ask it to.

The second ride ever, I set the 4th fastest decent from the 25 mile marker on Mosquito Ridge all the way down to the circle bridge. 15 miles at an average speed of 38 mph for 15 minutes. The bike is so freaking stable!

People ask me on a regular basis what I think and I have nothing but positive comments. Never so much as a mis-shift and the brakes are powerful. You build one hell of road machine man.

Greg is digging his as well. He set a few PRs on his first ride out.
