Tadej Pogačar's Colnago: A Detailed Analysis
Weight and Construction
Although the exact weight of Colnago's bike was not disclosed, the company claims that a similarly specced model will meet the UCI's minimum weight requirement of 6.8kg. This aligns with the typical weight of bikes used in the Tour de France.
Wheels and Rims
Aerodynamics and Durability
According to Enve, the rims provide an optimal balance between aerodynamics and durability. Initially designed for the cobblestones of Paris-Roubaix, they are well-suited for the strade bianche.
Hydration System
The bike features lightweight Elite Fly bottles (54g each) and Elite Leggero Carbon cages (17g each), contributing to the overall weight reduction.
Aesthetics
With a predominantly black base color and subtle glitter detailing visible in sunlight, the bike presents a minimalist and sophisticated appearance.
2023 Model and Geometry
The commercial version of the 2022 prototype is now being raced by Tadej Pogačar in the 2023 season. The geometry of Pogačar's Colnago is available for public reference.
