What is the Colnago C68 Gravel? The Colnago C68 Gravel is the purest Colnago philosophy applied to the gravel world; it is a modular gravel bike entirely made in Italy, crafted by hand. The C68 Gravel isn’t a mere gravel bike, it’s the epitome of Italian craftsmanship, meticulously crafted for cyclists who seek the ultimate riding experience. For those who yearn for the thrill of fast dirt and gravel rides and the smoothness of the open road, but also demand more than just a carbon frame - they seek a bike with a soul, steeped in heritage. In the world of gravel cycling, precision is paramount. The C68 Gravel has different geometry than its road counterpart, prioritising comfort and composure on rugged terrain. Hence, it comes with a shorter reach and higher stack, offering an ergonomically superior riding experience, perfectly poised for challenging landscapes, while maintaining an overall aggressive setting.
