Colnago Y1RS Frameset

The Y1RS is built for sprinters, breakaway specialists, and competitive cyclists who prioritize aerodynamic efficiency and immediate power transfer. Its geometry and stiffness profile are optimized for high-speed efforts where every watt of efficiency counts.

The frameset features the CC.Y1 handlebar system with WYND technology, which is fully integrated for maximum aerodynamic performance. While this creates a clean aesthetic and reduces drag, it means you are locked into the proprietary handlebar system rather than using standard aftermarket stems or bars.

No, the Y1RS is engineered specifically for modern electronic groupsets. The frame's fully integrated design and internal routing are optimized for electronic shifting systems to maintain its aerodynamic profile and clean lines.

The DEFY dual Y-shaped joint is designed to balance aerodynamics with vibration absorption. While the frame is stiff for performance, this joint helps dampen road buzz, providing a more comfortable ride during long efforts without sacrificing the responsiveness required for sprinting.

The Y1RS offers a 19% reduction in frontal area compared to previous models, resulting in a verified 20-watt efficiency gain at 50 km/h. These improvements are primarily achieved through the curved downtube, the integrated handlebar system, and the refined seatpost junction.

The frameset is compatible with standard 700c wheelsets and features disc brake compatibility. Ensure your wheelset choice aligns with the frame's clearance specifications to maintain the intended aerodynamic performance.
