What's it like riding a bike designed to win the Tour de France? The new Colnago V4Rs has been designed for just that reason and I've been riding it for a month to find out what it's like. Join me for a full tour of the bike, the things I love and hate and what it's like to ride.

I absolutely love your channel. Thank you for another wonderful video.

@richardwood8657 Год назад

The geometry between this and the C68 are so similar. I noticed that you don't have much to say when it came to comparing the V4RS and C68 and I can probably understand why - I actually think there are few discernible differences. I'm lucky enough to have the C68 (can remembering pestering you to hurry up with your review) and think it's almost aero quick and incredibly comfortable, I'd say it's one of the best road bikes I've had. If the V4RS is noticably quicker then it will be an incredible machine. Folks can moan about the price tag and say what else you can get for half the price etc, but I'd say well done Colnago for making such excellent machines. thanks for a great review.

Thank you for another great video and review, Arthur. Keep up the good work. Would love to see a review of factor and aurum bikes on you channel Best wishes Mads

@greatchalla3799 Год назад

I’m getting a great education……the technology has made great strides from the bikes I once associated with in the seventies. I’m now looking for an upgrade and still enjoy riding.

@simonassouline1230 Год назад

Fantastic review, Colnago is the best in the business!

@Roger101Watson Год назад

I've been testing out Scott's Foil Ultimate RC which is their Tour de France bike and I must say I've been really impressed with the speed and comfort levels. I've nothing to compare it too as I've not ridden anything else like it as I'm not a roadie preferring my drop bar bikes on gravel.

@danielmiles3636 Год назад

Great review, worth the wait....I think this trumps the Dogma F and S-Works are two a penny now

@comment_troll Год назад

Another great video - thanks David. Interested in your thoughts on the V4RS versus the new Cannondale Supersix Evo that you tested a little while back? Both are new bikes, both make claims to be better than the old version and both are in the TdF this year, although only the V4RS has won a stage so far...

@MrDarz70 7 месяцев назад

Hello David, great review, have you ridden the v4rs’ predecessor the v3rs and is there much difference?

@wsbygt Год назад

I´m on the aero side. The only thing I like are those ENVE SES 4.5! Note: the TdF V4RS has different: tires, cockpit, seatpost and disk rotors.

@CanadianMac2008 Год назад

Factor was the first brand to use SLT ceramic speed though, starting with the Ostro.

@universe-juice Год назад

Ok, that bike looks mean! One of the best no nonsense looking bikes ive ever seen!!!! Dont listen to these other guys, that bike is FIRE!!! And i would happily own it. Now if you can, please get your hands on the new blade and tell us what you think 🤔

@StephanieHughesDesign Год назад

I ride Bianchi's and have 2 models. I own an original Pantani TdF 2002 team bike and another 928 Bianchi TdF team bike rode by Jan Ullrich. Would I buy another road bike from Bianchi now? No, way too expensive, even though I love them. Colnago is another dream bike I would love to own - way too expensive for me.

@fjskj6529 Год назад

I had the fortunate position of choosing between the V4RS and the C68 and chose the latter (price was about 2K USD more) The more I see this bike the more it seems "bland". Not sure why, perhaps because of the lack of graphics ala Aethos. Good to hear the C68 rides smoother, just what I was looking for (havent received the frame yet) And kudos to David for riding it for a solid month. I dont believe reviewers who does 1-2 days on a bike. That's such a SHORT time to review anything.

@KcityMikeThomas 8 месяцев назад

Is it stiffer than a alloy framed race bike which are about the same weight ?.

@gemsandlasers269 Год назад

Just ridiculously expensive for what it is. You can get a Cube Lightening Air frame (also in the TdF this year) for around half the price (including handebars, stem and seatpost).

@TheBarts27 Год назад

When spending so much money on a bike you better buy the bike that is feels special (to you). You can also buy a bike with ratio, but for me it is emotion that counts. Colnago is history and style. Thats why I bought an S-works Sl7 myself. I would like to add this Colango to the collection. :-)

@grahambailey2459 Год назад

So why no mention of the Enve wheels in this review considering a good set of wheels can make or break any bike?

@Jacob99174 Год назад

Yes

@madsthygesen9476 Год назад

Hi David I am considering to buy the Colnago c68 or the Enve Melee. I do not race and would like a great all round bike and think the Enves design and options for wide tires and mudguards are quite intriguing as I would like to ride in the winter (Denmark). But the colnago is just too epic and easier to order here in DK. What is your thoughts on this

@davidarthur Год назад

Sounds likes the Enve is the better suited bike for your riding

@JH_Cycles Год назад

V4RS or SLR01 - that's the question?

@Thegolfsimexperience Год назад

How come you never really mention the filante slr when comparing models as you do with tarmac etc? Do you not feel they are in same category?

@davidarthur Год назад

It's more to do with the Tarmac being a commonly accepted benchmark really and lots more people are familiar with it

@Dimashoey Год назад

Why does it even need ceramic bearing in the headset while it doesnt constantly rotate 1 RPM?

@davidarthur Год назад

They're not actually ceramic, they are stainless steel races and balls using a solid polymer that is "self-lubricating, corrosion-resistant, and maintenance-free" so they last ages and you don't have to service your headset hardly ever, a bonus with internal cable routing

Still made in China like 95% of all carbon frames (and wheels)

@imranwahid11 Год назад

So what? China make some of highest quality product in the world like iPhone, etc. It all depends on what manufacturers want. If you want cheap, China will give you the cheapest and if you want quality, China will give you top quality product. 'Made in China' is an ego of the West and the rich.
