Colnago embraces normal standard and makes no aero claims with its new G4-X gravel race bike

Colnago, as storied a bike brand as it gets, has been on a new model spree of late. We’ve been treated to a new all-road version of the C68, and then recently a gravel version, the C68 Gravel, to add off-road capability to the brand’s lugged, made-in-Italy line. Hot on its heels we are now being offered a new model in the brand’s race-oriented line, the G4-X. 

This new gravel bike is to replace the existing G3-X, and serve as an off-road counterpart to the Colnago V4Rs road bike, raced by Tadej Pogačar and his UAE Team Emirates teammates. 

The new model aims to suit the needs of the modern gravel racer, offering a balance of performance characteristics, while also drawing from a history of success in cyclocross.
