Colnago's C series has been the flagship of the legendary handmade Italian brand since the radical C35 of 1989. This latest version (the eighth) takes advantage of rapidly advancing technology to help protect it from theft.
01 Enjoy the ride
The C68 is Colnago's ultimate bike: light, comfortable and custom built to your needs. While the brand's pros, including multi-tour winner Tadej Podjačar, may ride the V3RS and the latest Prototipo aero design, the C68's bespoke manufacturing makes it much more exclusive than a pro ride.
