Tadej Pogačar's Colnago V5Rs
Cycling Weekly
|July 17, 2025
Pogi's customised Colnago is lean and mean - just like the guy who rides it...
The bike on which the Slovenian took his 100th professional win on stage four of the Tour de France is a subtly updated version of its predecessor, the V4RS. The biggest change the Dubai-owned, Italian-based company made was to shed even more weight, with the unpainted 485 size frame tipping the scales at just 685 grams. The lightest Colnago ever. The bike's frontal area was also slimmed down to reduce drag, while tyre clearance was upped to 32mm. Given Pogačar's status as virtually unbeatable so far this year the revamp appears to have paid a dividend.
