If we take into account that every brand company say their new bikes are lighter, stiffer, more compliant, etc, etc...and they will continue saying it endlessly, the answer is one word...MARKETING, which, means... "we want your money as soon as possible"

My friend and I tested the Willier zero Slr and the V3rs.amd kept swapping bikes, the Willier was far more lively but somehow more stable in gusty winds. ( Same wheels). Hopefully the v4 is more reactive for riders of all levels, but please try the Willier!

Blindfolded, one could totally feel the diff between the extremes of a carbon race bike and vintage skinny tubed commuter. I love both, but sure as hell can. Hard to say if it would be as easily perceptible comparing two high end machines tho.

I can deffinetly feel the difference in stiffness between my old Planet X Pro Carbon road bike and my currenct Cube Cross Race C:62 cyclocross bike (which I'm now using also as my primary road bike). The difference between top end road bikes just a generation apart would be far less significant as the previous models are some of the stiffest bikes already, but I guess either heavier riders or pros, who spend 1000 hours a year in the saddle, can feel it (or rather "spot some difference"). But I doubt this stiffness increase can have any effect on a 'normal' 70 kg rider with FTP of around 300 W and max sprints shy of 1300 W.

@@jeskli11 I just upgraded to a 10 years newer frame (Scott CR1 2006 to Canyon endurace 2017). I'm sure I will notice the stiffness and comfort difference when I build the bike. I'm not sure I would notice it upgrading from 2017 to 2022 bike, but I could be wrong too. It feels at this point bike industry is designing the tests to give them certain numbers they can advertise.

I actually got a real-life glimpse of the Pogačar prototype before TdF, when I rode some 15km with him at an event in May. It was all blacked out and he told us he was testing the new model.

Beautiful cybicycles! Love Colnago's approach.

I was surprised to read that the Tours were raced and won on V3RS and not as I thought C68. Anyway, a sad and bad day for Campagnolo. Colnago and Campagnolo go together like peaches and cream, bacon and eggs, beans and toast, cheese and pickle. 40 years ago the ultimate bike was Colnago with Campagnolo .... and it still is.

You V3RS… the 98% same bike design, but with different laying of carbon sheets, and a few less sheets 😂

Love both & wouldn’t care if it was bright pink, I’d still ride it. But sadly something that beautiful will only ever be a dream for me 😢

Just a nice from me. Both bikes valves not aligned, cranks not level, not in biggie/smalls and bottles in cages.😜 But, they were using shadow stands.😉

Wowser what a good looking bike! I'm over 40 so if money 💰 were no object then C68 probably... This Colnago V4RS, with secret wheels and intellectual property rights regarding how they measure frame stiffness... all sounds slightly mysterious and typically adds to the allure of the Colnago brand. Bravo on the marketing Colnago! Appreciate GCN tech get to actually breakdown and help showcase such a beautiful bike. Great video Ollie & Manon! Personally, I don't think you need to be saying if it's quicker than an SL7 or the new Propel etc... genuinely who would it make a difference to? The pros don't get to pick anyway! However, a great follow up would be Ollie joining Pogacar for a day of his pre tour training camp. Manon can motivate like the 4 v1 video! I'm sure it'd be simple to set it up...😩 you could start by reminding UAE that Ollies never been a pro but took down "G" in his dad's garage 😉... therefore, it'll be good company/ test for Tadej during a four hour ride with efforts!!! UAE would have you back on the V4RS in no time. That'll be the proper test of rider and bike! Also, be good to see Ollies nervous face again e.g. pre 50 minute TT attempt or hour effort...

Just an amazing machine

I attended the product launch in Abu Dhabi. They tested it in 50 kph wind speed, not speed of the bike is traveling. Meaning, wind speed of 15 kph plus the bike traveling at 35 kph, equals a total of 50 kph.

No rim brake? :(

Tadej and each pro on the circuit deserves the latest and greatest cycling tech for their competitions enjoyed by a worldwide audience.

Cool bikes but, I liked Ollies bike better tho Manons smaller frame made she's looks cool just not as cool as Ollies loaner. Also let us know what brand the mystery wheel set is the Colnago used in testing.

Very nice bike and I'm sure it's riding great (also like the "rainbow version" more). But the pr bulls.... on aerodynamics is just getting more and more ridiculous (just imho of course)

What are the dimensions of these two please?

As always with Colnago, if that thing said 'Felt' on the downtube they'd sell 74.

Black Black and more black, would like to see a decent paint job for once, the forks look sic, does it come with rim breaks? its down to just trend again.

GCN, what's the all-black look? Esp. in the winter, when being seen is paramount!

Not a fan of the common trend of Burqa bikes (matte black bikes) and all black cycling clothes. I understand that people want to match all their carbon parts, but it seems a little conformist and dull. BTW I own a Colnago myself, but its a Master X-Light steel frame. Love the Italian flavor.
