I absolutely love your channel. Thank you for another wonderful video.

that colnago is absolutely beautiful!!

Il have two of them cheap as chips!! Great content as usual David.

The geometry between this and the C68 are so similar. I noticed that you don't have much to say when it came to comparing the V4RS and C68 and I can probably understand why - I actually think there are few discernible differences. I'm lucky enough to have the C68 (can remembering pestering you to hurry up with your review) and think it's almost aero quick and incredibly comfortable, I'd say it's one of the best road bikes I've had. If the V4RS is noticably quicker then it will be an incredible machine. Folks can moan about the price tag and say what else you can get for half the price etc, but I'd say well done Colnago for making such excellent machines. thanks for a great review.

I've been testing out Scott's Foil Ultimate RC which is their Tour de France bike and I must say I've been really impressed with the speed and comfort levels. I've nothing to compare it too as I've not ridden anything else like it as I'm not a roadie preferring my drop bar bikes on gravel.

Thank you for another great video and review, Arthur. Keep up the good work. Would love to see a review of factor and aurum bikes on you channel Best wishes Mads

Thanks! Will do!

Fantastic review, Colnago is the best in the business!

I’m getting a great education……the technology has made great strides from the bikes I once associated with in the seventies. I’m now looking for an upgrade and still enjoy riding.

Great review, worth the wait....I think this trumps the Dogma F and S-Works are two a penny now

Another great video - thanks David. Interested in your thoughts on the V4RS versus the new Cannondale Supersix Evo that you tested a little while back? Both are new bikes, both make claims to be better than the old version and both are in the TdF this year, although only the V4RS has won a stage so far...

Factor was the first brand to use SLT ceramic speed though, starting with the Ostro.

I´m on the aero side. The only thing I like are those ENVE SES 4.5! Note: the TdF V4RS has different: tires, cockpit, seatpost and disk rotors.

Just ridiculously expensive for what it is. You can get a Cube Lightening Air frame (also in the TdF this year) for around half the price (including handebars, stem and seatpost).

When spending so much money on a bike you better buy the bike that is feels special (to you). You can also buy a bike with ratio, but for me it is emotion that counts. Colnago is history and style. Thats why I bought an S-works Sl7 myself. I would like to add this Colango to the collection. :-)

I had the fortunate position of choosing between the V4RS and the C68 and chose the latter (price was about 2K USD more) The more I see this bike the more it seems "bland". Not sure why, perhaps because of the lack of graphics ala Aethos. Good to hear the C68 rides smoother, just what I was looking for (havent received the frame yet) And kudos to David for riding it for a solid month. I dont believe reviewers who does 1-2 days on a bike. That's such a SHORT time to review anything.

Ok, that bike looks mean! One of the best no nonsense looking bikes ive ever seen!!!! Dont listen to these other guys, that bike is FIRE!!! And i would happily own it. Now if you can, please get your hands on the new blade and tell us what you think 🤔

Hello David, great review, have you ridden the v4rs’ predecessor the v3rs and is there much difference?

Sticking with my 10 year old C50.

You had this for a MONTH? Dang, dude; you are the luckiest man I know!

Is it stiffer than a alloy framed race bike which are about the same weight ?.

I ride Bianchi's and have 2 models. I own an original Pantani TdF 2002 team bike and another 928 Bianchi TdF team bike rode by Jan Ullrich. Would I buy another road bike from Bianchi now? No, way too expensive, even though I love them. Colnago is another dream bike I would love to own - way too expensive for me.

Yes

Could you please share the link for the computer mount? Thanks in advance 3:10

So why no mention of the Enve wheels in this review considering a good set of wheels can make or break any bike?

is v4rs only available for dura ace?

Hi David I am considering to buy the Colnago c68 or the Enve Melee. I do not race and would like a great all round bike and think the Enves design and options for wide tires and mudguards are quite intriguing as I would like to ride in the winter (Denmark). But the colnago is just too epic and easier to order here in DK. What is your thoughts on this

Can you lower the handlebar with standard round spacers on top without chopping the steerer?

V4RS or SLR01 - that's the question?

Seriously 5k? I know where these are made and that is ridiculous. You know you can get a custom Italian frame for this, from an artisan builder.

It's more to do with the Tarmac being a commonly accepted benchmark really and lots more people are familiar with it

I can’t even feign being appalled at the price anymore… the new Scott whistleblower is $16k… it’s just numbing… 🥺

is it better than a sworks sl8?

Why does it even need ceramic bearing in the headset while it doesnt constantly rotate 1 RPM?

@davidarthur

Жыл бұрын

They're not actually ceramic, they are stainless steel races and balls using a solid polymer that is "self-lubricating, corrosion-resistant, and maintenance-free" so they last ages and you don't have to service your headset hardly ever, a bonus with internal cable routing

C68 vs Aethos?

Very nice bike. I actually think is looks a lot better then the c68

I ride v4rs, totally diffrent bike from v3rs. So So great bike. honestly v3rs was sucks.

How TF is 7.16KG not light?!??!

Meh. Super overpriced. I bet a lot of the perceived speed is from the wheelset, which are truly excellent.

I don’t see how a bike wins the tdf…

Not made in Italy but £5k for the frame - Wait what??????

Origine axxome GTR Evo 7kg566g =4890€ 😂

Pinarello Dogma F always...

7.16 kg not light??? It still has an uncut steerer and more spacers and its size is comparable to a typical 56. This bike is more than light enough.

So what? China make some of highest quality product in the world like iPhone, etc. It all depends on what manufacturers want. If you want cheap, China will give you the cheapest and if you want quality, China will give you top quality product. 'Made in China' is an ego of the West and the rich.
