Colnago announces T1Rs track bike
Colnago has announced the T1Rs, its first new track platform in several years, and a bike the company says is the fastest it has ever produced. Developed from the brand’s TT1 time trial and Y1Rs platforms but free from the packaging constraints of brakes and gearing, the T1Rs combines a dual-crown fork connecting both stem and fork to the frame, narrow hub spacing, and deep tube profiles to prioritise stiffness and aerodynamic efficiency at the high speeds typical of modern track racing.
Colnago states that the bike was optimised for speeds exceeding 60 km/h and near-zero yaw angles. The frameset is built around a dedicated track layup using high-modulus carbon and internal ribbing in key areas, such as the fork crown, seatpost, and bottom bracket for stiffness. It can be configured for sprint/endurance or time-trial/pursuit events, with a choice of a standard-bar stem system or an integrated monocoque pursuit cockpit. Three frame sizes are offered, with geometry adjusted for discipline-specific demands and front-end dimensions pushed to the UCI limit on the largest size to maximise reach.
The T1Rs will be sold as a frameset only at €6,500, with cockpit kits available separately.
