Main features
The C68 Allroad is for those who see cycling as everyday exploration. It has space for tyres up to 35 mm and geometry designed for better handling on dirt roads and comfort on longer tours.
Tyres up to 35 mm
Thanks to reinforced lower chainstays, the new C68 Allroad can accommodate wider tyres, up to 35 mm, for both road and gravel.

Rigidity and steering precision with the new steerer tube
The larger diameter compared to the C64 allows greater rigidity and a better feeling of safety when riding on more technical trails.

Allroad geometries
The bike has a higher stack and shorter reach than its road counterpart. It is perfect for anyone looking for a shorter and higher riding position, as well as improved rideability on rough roads and greater comfort over long distances.

Integrated multitool
Sooner or later, everyone needs a multitool to deal with any small adjustments that may be necessary during a ride (such as a flat tyre). We have integrated this tool into the top cap of the headset.

The C68 proudly continues the tradition of the modular frame.
The frame is constructed from several carbon parts that are hand-assembled in Italy through joints and interlocks. The number of parts that complete the frame, i.e. 8, is the same as the previous C series (C64).
We have introduced a new process: banding.
The carbon bands are applied manually at the joint between the carbon modules, after which they are filed and polished to achieve the look of a monocoque frame with the best Colnago modular frame properties.
An art jealously guarded and handed down.
The tradition of modular carbon frames began at Colnago in the early 1990s. Colnago was the first brand in cycling history to introduce carbon frames to professional teams, winning a technically demanding race like the Paris Roubaix with the legendary C40.

The smaller moulds of the individual modules allow us to work with greater care and obtain the highest quality carbon parts.
Handmade in Italy
The savoir-faire of the same hands that made the bikes of the greatest champions in cycling history continues in a model that is already a classic.

01.
Tube construction
Colnago takes great care in the construction of carbon parts, from moulds to laminations, demanding that its (Italian) suppliers adhere scrupulously to design requirements.
)
02
Bonding
At Colnago's Cambiago site, tubes and joints are shaped, finished and glued to form frames of different sizes.
)
03
banding
Most joints are masked through the application of thin carbon bandages, resulting in a smooth tube surface.
)
04
Painting
Painting is done strictly by hand using an airbrush. The aim is to achieve excellent quality without making the frame too heavy.

05
Assembly
Even the final touch, the assembly of the components, is carried out strictly at our premises in Cambiago.

Blockchain technology
Register your Colnago C68 Allroad on the Colnago Blockchain. You will enjoy all the legal benefits of having the ownership of your bicycle registered on a secure system accessible to the authorities.
In addition, you will be able to prove the authenticity of the frame at any time, resell your Colnago more easily on the secondary market, certify any maintenance carried out, and report a theft making it unsaleable on the secondary market.
Finally, you get an extension of the warranty for an additional year over the statutory two-year warranty already provided with the bike.
You can find your nearest dealer by clicking on our Dealer Locator and entering the postcode or the name of the town where you live.
The C68 Allroad is designed and handmade in Italy. Frame construction takes place in Cambiago, with assembly of the carbon tubes and joints, produced by an Italian supplier in Pordenone, while painting is done in Cascina. Finally, back in Cambiago, the components are assembled and the product is shipped to more than 160 countries worldwide.
Although both models are top-of-the-line carbon racing bikes, there are big differences. The construction technique of the V4Rs frame is monocoque; the C68 is a modular frame composed of several interlocking parts. The philosophy is also radically different: the V4Rs is a bike designed and optimised for use by professional racers. More rigid and lighter, it suits highly powerful racers with extremely flexible muscles and joints. The C68, on the other hand, is designed for maximum riding pleasure: a snappy and responsive bike that calls for speed, with the perfect balance that a racing bike should have between enjoyment and performance.
The main differences between the C68 Road and C68 Allroad lie in the maximum tyre width - 32 mm for the C68 Road, 35 mm for the C68 Allroad - and the geometries. In fact, the C68 Allroad has a shorter reach and a larger stack than its sibling Road, and is the best choice for racers who have less extreme geometry (lower saddle-handlebar drop), for those who like to spend many hours in the saddle in a row, but above all for those looking for improved manageability on bumpy and slippery stretches.
The size of the C68 Allroad, like every Colnago, is measured in cm and represents the length of the seat tube. The size is also indicated on the serial number, located under the water bottle between the two rivets. Colnago sizing does not follow the same logic as other manufacturers. We advise you to refer to the geometry table above.
To register your C68 Allroad warranty you need to log into the Colnago app, register your account and register ownership of your bike via blockchain. Follow the steps in the app or consult the appropriate page. [warranty]
The C68's statutory warranty lasts 2 years. If you register your bike within 30 days of purchase, you can get the Colnago 3-Year Warranty. Follow the instructions at this link.
Pay close attention. Colnago urges you not to do this yourself, but instead to seek the expert help of a Colnago dealer. If you want to know how to install the Colnago CC.01 handlebar, download the guide above.
In the C68 the serial number is located below the bottle cage on the down tube, in between the two rivets. To read it you can scan the qr code
At the moment it is not possible to have a C68 Road in a custom colour; you can only choose one of the standard colours. Before the end of 2024 we will also release custom paints for the C68 Allroad. At that point, all you need to do is go to bike configurator, customise it, and finally add the bike to your cart.

At Colnago we do not use the 'endurance' category. If by endurance bikes you mean bikes with more relaxed and slower geometries, then the C68 Allroad only partially fits into this definition. Compared to the C68 Road, the geometries are shorter and taller and the wheelbase is slightly longer. The choice of these parameters, however, depends on the pursuit of better ride performance on rough roads. The pursuit of maximum performance has always been the cornerstone of this project. This bike is indeed more comfortable over long distances than its road counterpart, but it is a further advantage that makes this bike even more special.
The C68 Allroad has thoroughly passed all the prescribed tests and its geometries are compatible with UCI regulations. It can be used for events such as Granfondo, Challenge and other amateur races. It is not officially registered with the UCI for use in professional road competitions. It can be used in UCI gravel events.
The CC.01 handlebar is not standard on this bike, but can be ordered separately from your dealer and is compatible.
This bike is designed for light dirt roads, such as rural lanes used by agricultural vehicles. Stony single tracks, jumps and rock gardens put a strain on the vehicle and are definitely not recommended.
This bike is designed for light gravel roads, such as rural lanes used by agricultural vehicles, gravel roads, and fine gravel. This bike is not suitable for those dirt tracks with rocks and jumps. Stony single tracks, jumps and rock gardens are to be avoided at all costs.
