A Superlight Colnago V5Rs? 6.25 kg/13.7 lb Build

This is my Colnago V5Rs — built to be fast, light, and totally rideable. At just 6.25kg (13.7 lbs), this isn’t a concept bike or a wall-hanger — it’s a daily driver with real-world usability. In this video, I break down every component decision: from SRAM Red 1x and Cadex Max 40 wheels to Better Bolts titanium bolts, Ogle Designs lockrings, and ENVE’s race day tires. I’ll explain why I chose each part, what tradeoffs I avoided, and how the V5Rs performs on the road. This isn’t just a bike build — it’s a story of obsession, balance, and shaving every gram *without* sacrificing ride quality. 👤 Fit + Build: Ashley at The Rose and Crown Bike Studio 🔧 Frame: Colnago V5Rs UAE Team Edition ⚙️ Groupset: SRAM Red AXS 1x w/ Garbaruk 50t 🔩 Details: Better Bolts Ti, Overfast thru-axles, CeramicSpeed BB 💨 Wheels: Cadex Max 40 🛞 Tires: ENVE SES Race Day 📉 Final Weight: 6.25kg (with pedals, cages, mount, etc.) 🧪 Future mod preview: SRAM XPLR w/ 10-46 cassette on UDH Subscribe for the full ride review in a few hundred miles. #colnago #colnagov5rs #weightweenie #sramredaxs #cadexwheels #roadbikebuild 00:00 Introduction 00:37 6.25 kilograms 01:00 Weight Obsession 01:28 The Concept 02:14 The Build 03:27 Cadex Max 40 Wheelset 03:49 Enve SES Race Day Tubeless Tires (29mm) 04:26 Wheel/Tire Combo 06:00 V5Rs Frameset 06:43 Y1Rs Inspired 07:39 First Impressions 08:16 1x Gearing 09:48 Endless UDH Possibilities 10:12 Build Specs 10:53 Weight with 2x Setup
