Colnago C72 Frame - Silver
The Colnago C72 frame represents a new chapter within the renowned Colnago C Series, a line that has consistently not only updated existing models but has constantly redefined industry standards. This frame embodies a philosophy of evolved performance, based on the perfect balance between stiffness, comfort, and control.
A new chapter for the C Series
The C72 is handcrafted in Italy and reflects the ultimate expression of Colnago's approach to carbon construction. In an era dominated by monocoque frames, this model reasserts the value of multi-piece construction, which allows for extremely precise tuning of stiffness, absorption, and force distribution.
Every element of the frame contributes to the bike's dynamic behavior: responsiveness in acceleration, stability at high speeds, and precision in cornering. The result is a bike that is always composed, balanced, and controlled.
Performance perfectly composed
The C72's ride is defined by harmony.
At high speeds, the front end provides exceptional stability. The geometry and steering setup are designed to offer precision without nervousness.
Power transfer is immediate thanks to the high-modulus carbon structure and optimized torsional stiffness. At the same time, the frame offers greater comfort and space for wider tires, increasing grip and versatility even on imperfect surfaces.
The geometry retains a racing DNA, but with a more adaptable position, suitable for both performance and long distances.
Craftsmanship and identity
Like every model in the C Series, the C72 is also made in Italy. From the bonding of the tubes to the assembly in Cambiago, all the way to painting and final quality control, every stage is executed with extreme artisanal care.
Production is limited to 3,000 frames per year, testifying to the level of attention and expertise required.
A new design language
The C72 evolves Colnago's carbon design language.
The joints are no longer simple structural elements but become an integral part of the frame's aesthetic identity. Every detail is designed with extreme precision, inspired by the concept of "panel gap matching" typical of high-end automotive design.
The modular construction is not hidden but enhanced, making the elements visible without compromising harmony and visual continuity.
Integrated innovation
The C72 introduces a new level of component integration:
- New Colnago CC.02 cockpit, lighter and more precise handling
- Integrated seatpost for improved aerodynamics and adjustments
- Custom bottle cage with hidden storage compartment in the down tube
Every detail is designed to contribute to a fully integrated bike system.

A Complete Guide to Bike Sizes
Foreword: Not all bike sizes are the same
Each type of bike has a specific frame and often uses a different size scale. For example, a road bike with a 54cm frame might be considered a medium size by one brand, but a large by another.
Bicycle adjustment margins
Some types of bikes, like gravel bikes, offer a wide range of adjustments, adapting to different body types. Other models, however, have limitations in this regard. This is an important aspect to consider.
How to use size charts
We've created a simple guide to help you find the right bike size:
- Check out our size charts for each bike type.
- Learn more with specific tips to help you make the right choice.
Size Charts: Find Your Perfect Bike
Gravel and road bikes
Sizes are based on the length of the top tube (in cm), which determines the reach of the bike.
| Cut | Recommended height | Horizontal tube length |
|---|---|---|
| XS | Up to 157 cm | 48-50 cm |
| S | 157-167 cm | 50-53 cm |
| M | 168-178 cm | 53-56 cm |
| THE | 178-185 cm | 56-58 cm |
| XL | Over 185cm | 58-62 cm |
For gravel, measurements may vary slightly due to different geometries, but remain similar.
Mountain bike
MTBs are measured in inches, based on the seat tube.
| Cut | Recommended height | Size (in inches) |
|---|---|---|
| XS | Up to 157 cm | 14"-16" |
| S | 157-167 cm | 15"-17" |
| M | 168-178 cm | 16"-19" |
| THE | 178-185 cm | 18"-20" |
| XL | Over 185cm | 20"-23" |
Sizes also vary depending on the type of MTB: full-suspension , hardtail or fat bike .
Children's bikes
The size depends on the size of the wheels, often associated with age:
| Age | Wheel Size |
|---|---|
| 1-3 years | 12" |
| 2-4 years | 14" |
| 4-6 years | 16" |
| 5-8 years | 20" |
| 8-10 years | 24" |
| Over 10 years | 26"/27.5" |
