Main features
With a design that drastically reduces air resistance, stiffness optimized for the most powerful sprints, and surprising comfort for long distances, the Y1Rs offers the perfect balance of performance, efficiency, and control.
Cutting-Edge Aerodynamics
The Y1Rs reduces its frontal area by 19% compared to the V4Rs, thanks to innovations like the CC.Y1 handlebars with WYND© technology and the curved downtube. These elements reduce drag and optimize airflow in all wind conditions.

THE OFFICIAL WHITE PAPER
Read the white paperColnago Y1Rs: Built to Defy Wind.
"FROM-RACE-TO-RACE" Approach
Every design decision was validated in a World Tour racing context. A project shouldn’t just look good on paper; it needs to perform exceptionally in real-world conditions.fe.
)
01.
CFD Refinement
The design process begins with advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, where the airflow around the frame and components is analyzed. Colnago collaborates with leading universities to refine these models, ensuring they accurately represent real-world aerodynamic conditions.
)
02
Prototyping
Using 3D printing technology, Colnago produces physical prototypes based on the refined CFD data. These prototypes allow for iterative testing and quick adjustments to the design, ensuring every component meets the highest performance standards.
)
03
Wind Tunnel Validation
The prototypes are rigorously tested in the wind tunnel, both as standalone frames and in full race setups with mannequins replicating WorldTour rider positions. These tests validate the aerodynamic advantages predicted by CFD and highlight any necessary refinements.
