CX1

The CX-1 represents the top of the line monocoque frames from Colnago, the front triangle is a monocoque structure where the seat and chain stays are lugged to the frame, this to improve the handling of the CX-1. Expect the ride of the CX-1 to be fast, aggressive especially on climbs and sprints you will feel the CX-1 performing with no loss of power transfer or handling. The polygonal shape of the top and down tube of the CX-1 does increase the lateral stiffness so no loss of power is experienced. The lugged seat and chain stays are designed to give the rider maximum control and power transfer during a descent, sprint, climb and breaking.

Multi-shape Top Tube:
Thanks to the unique polygonal profile of the Colnago 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:
The Colnago CX-1’s rear chain stay and seat stay shape has 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 fiber frames, Colnago uses an exclusive pre-preg Carbon Fiber 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 new Colnago Revolution development project is the introduction of an all-new headset system, the C-HS2 Colnago Headset System. This is a special, semi-integrated headset, is an all-new concept from the Colnago Revolution 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.
