Colnago Y1Rs Disc FRAMESET - DARK EDITION YUBC
Carbon in Its Purest Form
The Colnago Y1Rs YUBC Dark Edition Frameset is a particularly special interpretation of Colnago's ultimate aerodynamic race bike.
Instead of hiding the structure beneath an elaborate paint scheme, the YUBC Dark Edition puts the raw carbon construction of the Y1Rs centre stage. The exposed carbon appearance creates an exceptionally technical, understated and purposeful finish that perfectly suits the philosophy behind the Y1Rs.
No unnecessary decoration. No distraction. Just carbon, engineering and speed.
Developed for the fastest races in professional cycling and proven at WorldTour level with Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates-XRG, the Y1Rs combines extreme aerodynamic efficiency with exceptional stiffness, precise handling and unmistakable Colnago engineering.
For riders searching for a Colnago Y1Rs Dark Edition, raw carbon Colnago, black Colnago Y1Rs or premium carbon aero frameset, the YUBC is one of the purest and most distinctive versions of the Y1Rs.
YUBC DARK EDITION – RAW CARBON, WITHOUT TRADITIONAL PAINT
What makes the YUBC Dark Edition particularly special is its raw-carbon aesthetic.
Instead of using a conventional full paint finish, the Dark Edition celebrates the carbon structure itself. The result is a minimalist appearance where the material and construction of the Y1Rs become part of the design.
The exposed carbon gives every angle of the frame a technical, purposeful character while visually emphasising the radical aerodynamic profiles of the Y1Rs.
It is an approach that perfectly matches the philosophy of the bike: remove what isn't necessary and concentrate on performance.
The result is a Y1Rs with an unmistakably stealthy appearance — subtle from a distance, but full of carbon detail when viewed up close.
For riders who appreciate carbon engineering as much as paintwork, the Colnago Y1Rs YUBC Dark Edition is something genuinely special.
Raw carbon. Minimal finish. Maximum impact.
DESIGNED FOR PURE SPEED
The Y1Rs was developed around one objective: reduce aerodynamic resistance without compromising the performance expected from a WorldTour race bike.
Compared with the Colnago V4Rs, the Y1Rs reduces frontal area by 19%. The radical frame shapes, curved downtube, bayonet-style fork and integrated front end have all been designed around controlling airflow as efficiently as possible.
Wind-tunnel testing by Colnago showed that the Y1Rs requires approximately 20 watts less than the V4Rs to maintain 50 km/h in tested real-world configurations.
For fast road races, breakaways, flat and rolling terrain, high-speed group rides and riders who simply want maximum aerodynamic performance, those gains matter.
THE COLNAGO RACED BY TADEJ POGAČAR
The Y1Rs is no ordinary aero road bike.
It is part of the race-bike arsenal of Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates-XRG, developed and validated in WorldTour competition.
Pogačar has used the Y1Rs at the highest level of professional cycling, including the Tour de France and Monument Classics.
The commercially available Y1Rs isn't simply inspired by the professional race bike. The production Y1Rs uses the same carbon layup, frame geometry and structural engineering as the Y1Rs raced by Tadej Pogačar.
From WorldTour racing to your own fastest rides, the objective remains the same:
Maximum speed from every watt.
CARBON CONSTRUCTION AT THE CENTRE OF THE DESIGN
On most premium bicycles, carbon fibre is hidden underneath layers of primer, colour and clear coat.
The Y1Rs YUBC Dark Edition takes a different approach.
Its raw-carbon appearance allows the construction of the frame itself to become a defining visual element. Instead of relying on colour to create its identity, the Dark Edition lets the complex aerodynamic shapes and carbon structure speak for themselves.
That makes YUBC particularly appropriate for the Y1Rs.
The frame's sculpted head tube, curved downtube, distinctive seat-tube junction and aggressive aero profiles are all highlighted by the understated dark finish.
It is simultaneously one of the most discreet and one of the most technically expressive Y1Rs colourways.
972 G CARBON AERO FRAME
Creating an aero bike is always a balancing act between aerodynamic performance, stiffness and weight.
According to Colnago's Y1Rs technical data, the ready-to-paint Y1Rs frame weighs approximately 972 g, before paint and removable parts. The dedicated aerodynamic fork weighs approximately 450 g, giving a combined frame-and-fork weight of approximately 1,422 g before paint and removable components.
Rather than chasing frame weight alone, Colnago has engineered the Y1Rs as a complete aerodynamic system where every gram has to justify itself through stiffness, handling or aerodynamic performance.
The result is a genuine aero race machine built for the speeds where aerodynamic drag becomes the dominant resistance.
3.5% GREATER STIFFNESS
Aerodynamics only matter if the power reaches the road.
The Y1Rs frame structure has been engineered to provide 3.5% greater stiffness than the V4Rs in Colnago's sprint-position testing, creating immediate power transfer during hard acceleration and sprint efforts.
Push harder and the Y1Rs responds.
That combination of aerodynamic efficiency and stiffness makes the Y1Rs particularly effective when speeds rise: attacking, sprinting, closing gaps or driving a fast group across flat and rolling terrain.
CC.Y1 INTEGRATED AERO COCKPIT
One of the defining elements of the Y1Rs is Colnago's extraordinary CC.Y1 integrated cockpit with WYND© technology.
Its distinctive gull-wing profile has been developed to minimise airflow separation while improving stability at high speed.
Rather than treating the handlebar and frame as separate components, Colnago has designed the Y1Rs front end as one aerodynamic system.
The result is one of the most distinctive silhouettes in modern road cycling — and an aero cockpit created for serious speed.
DEFY SEATPOST JUNCTION
The unmistakable double-Y junction around the seatpost is more than a visual statement.
Colnago's DEFY seatpost junction is designed to improve aerodynamic performance around the rear of the frame while helping absorb road vibration.
The dedicated carbon Y1Rs seatpost weighs approximately 190 g, has a 300 mm length and is available in 0 mm or 15 mm setback versions.
This allows the Y1Rs to combine the stiffness required for explosive racing with the comfort and adjustability needed during long rides and demanding race days.
UP TO 32 MM TYRE CLEARANCE
Modern speed isn't only about narrow tyres.
The Colnago Y1Rs accommodates tyres measuring up to 32 mm actual width, with Colnago specifying 4 mm of required clearance around the tyre.
This gives riders the freedom to use modern high-volume performance tyres and optimise rolling resistance, grip and comfort according to road conditions and wheel choice.
BSA THREADED BOTTOM BRACKET
Despite the futuristic appearance of the Y1Rs, Colnago has chosen a proven and practical BSA 68 mm threaded bottom bracket.
For owners and mechanics, this provides straightforward servicing and compatibility with a wide range of premium bottom bracket solutions.
UDH COMPATIBILITY
The Y1Rs uses the modern UDH – Universal Derailleur Hanger – standard.
This provides a widely supported derailleur-hanger solution while helping future-proof the frame for modern drivetrain technology.
FULLY INTEGRATED ELECTRONIC DRIVETRAIN DESIGN
The Y1Rs is designed around modern electronic and wireless road groupsets, allowing Colnago to optimise the frame and cockpit around completely integrated cable routing.
Brake hoses are routed internally through the CC.Y1 cockpit and frame, leaving the front of the bike exceptionally clean.
The result is improved aerodynamics together with the minimalist appearance expected from a flagship modern race bike.
