Colnago C68 Gravel Gravel Bike Frame

Joining the stable of modular C68 premium frames, the Colnago C68 Gravel bike reflects the Italian company’s belief in mixing performance, comfort, beauty, and their Made in Italy mantra to create the ultimate in gravel grinding machines. 

Innovative Carbon Frame Construction in the Colnago C68 Gravel

The C68 Gravel’s neo lugged carbon frame construction integrates a comfort-oriented layup with a 42 mm tire clearance to combine endurance focused performance while still encouraging you to go deep into the unknown of ride routes. Colnago engineers in Italy use their decades worth of experience to craft a frame that rides as well as it looks. You’ll definitely be turning heads on group rides and at the café stop with this bike. 

Following the same reasoning behind the C68 Road bike and C68 All Road bike that use the modular construction, the C68 Gravel offers a slightly more endurance-oriented geometry than the All Road, which already used a slacker geo than the C68 Road. That makes complete sense since the requirements of gravel grinding are better handled when you’re not stretched out too much on the frame, but have room to maneuver and move with the bike over those more rugged sections.

Colnago are pretty clear in saying that, though the C68 Gravel will be super fast and fun to ride, if you are looking to get the best gravel racing bike they produce, you’d likely be better off on their G3X, which is what their sponsored gravel and cyclocross athletes race on. Just like for their road line, they suggest you check out the V-series bikes if you are most focused on getting the podium at your weekend races. Their C-series bikes are built around the aesthetic experiences at least as much as the performance. 

Versatile Drivetrain Options in the C68 Gravel Bike Frame

The Colnago C68 Gravel can run a 1x or 2x drivetrain and supports both electric and mechanical systems. When ordering, you will have the chance to equip your frame with the specially designed Colnago CC.01WIDE integrated cockpit. It looks super slick and offers a nicely moderate flare at the drops that will help you feel secure on loose descents without going way too wide.

When you are looking for that super special bike for all your gravel riding needs, the Colnago C68 Gravel not only will tackle all your favorite routes, it will speak to your soul.
