With its sophisticated and elegant design, the Colnago C68 Gravel represents the perfect blend of performance and refinement—an unmistakable hallmark of Colnago.

Handcrafted in Italy by expert artisans, the C68 Gravel inherits Colnago’s long-standing mastery in the construction of modular lugged frames, bringing this expertise into the world of gravel cycling.

Geometry

The reach–stack ratio has been optimized to allow the use of a shorter stem combined with a longer wheelbase. The head tube angle has been reduced to 70.5° across all sizes, offering greater stability on rough terrain and enhancing rider confidence in challenging conditions.

The Cockpit

The C68 Gravel features a carbon fork and the new Colnago CC.01 Wide cockpit, specifically designed for gravel riding with increased flare. For example, a 40 cm handlebar measured at the hoods becomes 46 cm at the bar ends (center to center), providing improved control and comfort.

Compatibility

Colnago has ensured maximum compatibility with third-party handlebars, stems, and forks for riders seeking customization. The only requirement is support for fully integrated cable routing (hidden cables). The C68 Gravel is compatible with both electronic and mechanical single-chainring (1x) groupsets, allowing for extensive personalization.

The generous tire clearance supports widths up to 45 mm, unlocking new possibilities for adventure and off-road exploration.

The C68 Gravel is offered in five sizes (450, 480, 510, 540, 570), ensuring an ideal fit for every cyclist. With its combination of refined aesthetics, Italian craftsmanship, and advanced engineering, the Colnago C68 Gravel stands out as a premium choice for gravel and adventure enthusiasts worldwide.
