Colnago V5Rs After 1,000 Miles: Why It’s Better Than You Think

After nearly 1,000 miles on the Colnago V5Rs, I’ve made a few changes... and a lot of discoveries. In this review, I walk through what makes the V5Rs one of the most nuanced and misunderstood superbikes on the market. From weight-weenie builds to a more familiar ride feel, tire clearance, drivetrain setups, and group ride dynamics — this video covers it all. If you’re wondering whether the Colnago V5Rs is more than just a pro peloton flex… the answer might surprise you. I’ll also break down why it’s better than the numbers suggest, and why it’s become one of my favorite bikes in the stable.
