Engineered to Defy the Wind. Built to Win Fast Races. Designed for Pure Speed.

The Colnago Y1Rs is the pinnacle of aerodynamic road performance, a race machine created for sprinters, breakaway specialists, and riders who demand maximum efficiency at high speed. Every line, surface, and component of the Y1Rs has been sculpted to reduce drag, transfer power instantly, and maintain stability in the most demanding race environments.

Built on Colnago’s heritage of Italian craftsmanship and racing innovation, the Y1Rs introduces a complete aerodynamic revolution. With a 19% reduction in frontal area, a stiffer frame structure, next-generation cockpit technology, and verified wind-tunnel efficiency gains, this is the ultimate tool for riders who want every watt to count.

Whether you're launching a sprint at 1500 watts or holding 50 km/h in a long solo effort, the Y1Rs delivers aerodynamic superiority, stiffness where it matters, and comfort that supports elite performance over long distances.

Aero Advantage. Race-Proven Efficiency.

19% Reduced Frontal Area vs. V4Rs

The Y1Rs introduces a completely redesigned front profile, featuring the CC.Y1 handlebar with WYND© technology and a sculpted curved downtube, all engineered to minimize drag and optimize airflow across every wind angle.

+3.5% Increased Stiffness

The frame structure reinforces key load zones for explosive power transfer during sprints and high-torque efforts. Every watt goes straight to the ground.

WYND© Handlebar Technology

"Gull-wing" shaping reduces airflow separation and increases stability at speed while maintaining structural stiffness, ideal for powerful riders and high-speed attacks.

DEFY Seatpost Joint

A dual Y-shaped junction enhances aerodynamics and boosts vertical compliance, smoothing vibrations without sacrificing responsiveness, perfect for long solo breakaways.

Wind-Tunnel Verified: 20-Watt Advantage

At 50 km/h, the Y1Rs requires 20 fewer watts than the V4Rs. Over race distance, the energy savings are monumental.

Fully Integrated & Modern

From electronic drivetrains to custom bottle cages and an aerodynamic seatpost, the Y1Rs is a fully optimized race platform, clean, light, and incredibly efficient.
