EPS Carbon

Colnago Revolution is the top development and design project for Colnago that started in 2009, and the all new top of the range Colnago EPS is the first star from the innovative Colnago Revolution Project. The EPS evolved from the Extreme Power model, which was designed for top sprinters like Petacchi, Friere and Zabel who generate tremendous power under acceleration.

Lay-Up Optimization:  The structure of Colnago’s EPS frame has been completely re-done, in the tubing and the lugs, using ultra high and high modulus (HHM & HM) unidirectional composite with a 3K twill finish. During the development of the EPS, thanks to 3D design and Finite Element Analysis (FEM), Colnago has created an extremely accurate, optimized carbon fibre composite lay up. Particularly in the key zones where force is transmitted to the road to reduce vibration and stress from irregular road surfaces, making for an incredible ride and performance.

Multi Shape Tubing-3PRS System:  Colnago’s new EPS frameset features a unique new 3PRS System of multi-shape tubing which vary from a conical top tube with a 40mm diameter at the head tube, tapering to a 35mm diameter at the seat tube lug. The down tube has a constant diameter of 44mm from the head tube to the bottom bracket. Four 3PRS internal reinforcing ribs, of varying widths and thickness, translate to extraordinary stiffness and power transfer through the new Colnago EPS frame.

Colnago Carbon Fibre Fabric & Epoxy:  With over two decades of experience building the finest carbon fibre bikes, Ernesto Colnago used his expertise to choose the finest carbon fibre fabric and epoxy for his new EPS frame.

Colnago Headset System/C-HS1:  One of the key points of the Colnago Revolution development project is the introduction of an all new headset system, the C-HS1 Colnago Headset System. This special semi-integrated headset uses 1 1/8” bearings on the top race. The bottom race employs 1 ¼” bearings for extra head tube rigidity, and more steering stability and precision. The C-HS1 allows easier assembly and maintenance without removing the entire headset assembly. Also the EPS bottom bracket has an easily removable CNC Titanium insert to facilitate maintenance.

Colnago EPS Carbon Fork & Tubing diameters:  Colnago’s new EPS has a 35mm seat tube diameter that uses a 31.6mm seat post. The EPS also features the all new Colnago NewStar carbon fibre fork that was specifically developed for the C-HS1. It features improved steering and stability thanks to the new fork blade shape, and maximum strength to absorb shocks. The EPS NewStar fork blends smoothly with the new 1 ¼” diameter at the bottom of the head tube.

It Fits You, Not You Fit It:  The new Colnago top of the range model, the EPS, is simply the maximum in custom made bicycle frames and perfectly synchs up with the well know fitting philosophy of Colnago. “It Fits You, Not You Fit It!” The new Colnago EPS is available in 14 traditional sizes and 8 sloping sizes.
