Tadej Pogačar’s Super Tricked Out Colnago V4Rs | Tour De France Pro Bike
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 06. 2024
- Two-time Tour de France champion is one of the best cyclists in the world and he has a bike to match. With super-light Carbon-Ti chainrings and rotors, and plenty of 3D-printed trickery, this is the most blinged out bike in the pro peloton. Si takes a close-up look at the Slovenian superstar’s Colnago V4Rs, which is drastically changed from the bike he rode last year!

The bike itself 😅🤤
Those carbon disc brake rotor holders, so my bike would go from 9.3kg to 9.299kg 🤟🤟🤟
his legs
@@superpoopertrooper9884 💀
Well, if he has 6 bikes do you think he would miss one?? ( 😉😉) Any chance that you could ever test one after the race?
Thanks you Si, once again, for grabbing the wrong brake first and making us all feel better about ourselves!
Euro set up, right rear has always been the norm
gb norm left rear. muscle memory
@@simonmoss5672British, not EU, setup is inverted.
We've all been there 😂
I still don't get it. Why have the front brake on the left? The Europeans all ride motorcycles with the front brake on the right. Why is it inverted on bicycles?
Those are Tadej's bikes. But what about tomorrow's?
Tada! 😂
Sometime ago it was YASTerday's, then Tadej's . . . then TOM-orrow's
Wout about the day after?
@@cd0u50c9 nice one🤔 . . . 👏👏👏
Ha!
I wonder sometimes if the boys at UAE have been watching Rides of Japan’s CZcams videos. What a gorgeous bike
The element bolt is the only thing my bike has in common 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oof me also the bottle cages ! Mental 😂
I have same tyres 😅
Not a bad thing to have in common! How about the stats on the Wahoo? 😉
@@gcntech unfortunately the Stats not the same
I don't get envious of these high-end bikes.... until now. What a beautiful machine.
Love the enthusiasm. 🚴♀️😊
Those Enve wheels look and sound amazing!
Thanks for sharing your review
such a beautiful machine
Having seen one up close at tour down under I can confirm they are awesome bikes
Must be nice seeing the bike from the correct way up 👀
@@gcntech saw it straight after jay vine rode it in the prologue
Yeah I have something in common with Pog , right rear brake setup 💥
Great stuff.
I love all the reviews of the pro tour bikes that Colnago it super trick.
Any chance of a review of the Bianchi bikes?, and not just the new one as half the team are riding my fav bike the Specialissima.
Many thanks.
Grant in Hobart.
Beautiful bike
Awesome video Si. Wow American made wheels on an Italian bike
Just awesome
As peak torque points out, notice the sloping seat angle: it has advantages for hills and flats: biomechanics
GCN should come to Slovenia for an epic ride 😍 we have beautiful nature/climbs/rivers 🙌😎🍻
This Colnago and the new Look Blade are definitely the sexiest rides in this year TDF peloton. Amazing machines. Thanks for the video Simon!!
The new Look Blade gets a lot of love in the GCN comments. They got I right I guess.
@@chrisridesbicycles In terms of engineering, Look always gets it right. Probably the best European constructor (and I come from Italy, with all that heritage etc). Look this time they nailed the aesthetics too. What a machine!!
Two beauties 🙌 If you had to pick one?
@@SixSioux This time, they also got the look right. 😂 (Ba-dum-tsss) There is not much you can do wrong with the timeless La Vie Claire design.
@@gcntech The classic La Vie Claire design of the Look absolutely does it for me. Fell in love with cycling with LeMond and the TdF final in 1989.
That free hub sound OH MY DAMN
omg the sound is wild
Si has once again pressed the wrong brake levers 😂
Moto brakes habits on UK bikes... 😅
In the UK, the brake levers are the reverse of what is common in most of the world. Easy mistake.
@@noptimized that makes total sense now that I think about it
@@noptimized, the UK drivers also drive on the "reverse" side of the road, too ;-)
cockpit looks really nice and ofc the wheels are great
That's probably the best sounding freehub I've heard!!!
Have you heard Chris King hubs? Very unique sound on those!
@gcntech May we know how tilt his saddle downward? Thank you!
G'day
Great review of the worlds most trick Colnago.
Q, what frame size is it?.
Keep up the good work.
Grant.
Tasmania.
It's good to be Tadej
Thank you for the video!
Can gears and tire widths be changed in the middle of the race??
I'd say no, tire width would indeed work but I've never seen anybody swap two wheels. Swapping out the back wheel with a different cassette, I don' think this would go well together in regards to chain length. If at all, pros would swap full bikes but except from time trials with climb sections I've hardly seen anybody do that. To be honest, at 6,9 kg with light aero properties, there is no need for Pogacar to ever come off this bike unless it has a defect.
@gcntech, can u do a video on the benefits of turning your brake levers in…it looks crap but there’s gotta be an aero advantage if the pros are doing it….right?
Colnago looks cool with a Shimano Group set
Hey guys. Can you do the same thing with a bike of Wout Van Aert? For some reason I feel like he and TJV is forgotten.
Funny to see him trying to brake the rear wheel with the left lever as in the UK 😅
6 bikes is impressive.
I’m curious that ENVE wheels using what Hubs? Sounds like Chris King!😮
@gcntech: Here is something to think about. The way things are only a pure, light-weight climber can win the TdF or the other grand tours. There is just too much time gained on the really big mountain finishes by these guys for anyone else to compete. What about changing time bonuses for sprint/rolling stages so that someone who wins a bunch of these stages could gain enough time to be up high on the GC? It would add spice to the non-mountain stages and open the door to more competition from a variety of rider types (WvA for example).
It's all about the bike!
Ah great the weight….. so great review altogether 👍🏻
Yes please
Very nice and very god !!!
U didn't mention which pedals ?
6.9 Kilos is a bit heavy.
My SL7 S-WORKS 54CM is
6.83 kilos with everything.
FSA VISION METRON AERO CARBON COCKPIT 42/110 with the Matching FSA Computer Mount.
TIME XPRO 15 PEDALS & Specialized Carbon Bottle Cages.
With the Sworks Power Printed Saddle.
If l went 2 these Ti Rotors l would be under the the UCI weight limit of 6.8.
Probably 6.65 l guess . ?
But if l went all out with the Spanish Alpha Carbon Rotors l would be @ 6.68. Xcellent
❤ the Way the Podcar races 🏁
Awesome 👌 Rider .
Question: is there a way to prove that electronic shifting results in fewer mechanical failures on the tour? It seems like everyone is having bike issues this year, especially with 12 speed cassettes.
The idea of electronic shifters is to save weight and time shifting, not necessarily avoid a mechanical. Plus easier to put in a bike and you don’t have to worry about cables
Electronic groupsets are heavier though
@@benpaine3105 the motion of a front derailleur is totally different between the two types. One must be better.
Two things that hit me in this video: 1) What is correct way to messure sadle-to-stem length? From the front or the back of the sadle? Remember that sadle has difference length, so I guess the correct way is from back of the sadle? 2) What is correct way to messure sadle hight down to crank? Earlier we messured from sadle to middle of the crank, but when you change crank length (in this video from 172,5 to 170), I guess the correct way to messure is to the end of the crank? What is correct?
The saddle-stem length is, as you mention, dependent on the type of saddle. Usually I measure this horizontally from the tip of the saddle, and I use the same saddles on different bikes.
The saddle height is measured along the stem from the center of the crank to the top of the saddle. If you change crank length, you change saddle height accordingly: 2.5 mm less crank length results in lowering (edit: upping) the saddle 2.5mm. If you care about setback / reach, you should change the fore-aft position of the saddle accordingly (lowering the saddle 2.5mm = moving the saddle to the back approx. 0.5mm and the other way around)
@@l.d.t.6327 No. 2.5mm shorter cranks mean the saddle can come up.
@ekluften What I will add to the original question, is when measuring positions on the bike you would take your measurements from common points, either center lines of bars/stem for example, maybe the b/b axle for frame sizing & usually the pedal platform when at the bottom of it's rotation. You could use the centre of the pedal hole if you remove the pedal. The number is kinda irrelevant so long as you apply the same technique of taking measurements across your different bikes or don't compare it with other methods of recording a bikes' position.
@@craiggreen4388 ok, I missed with up and down.
@@craiggreen4388 one more addition: measuring positions from common points only works when you have the same bars, saddles and pedals. Different bars have different reach for example, and different pedals have different stack height.
I ENVE this bike :)
WOW!
How about Jonas' R5? Can we see that up close please, GCN?
@askgcn given that Jumbo Visma has the Cervelo S5 for flat and hilly stages and the Cervelo R5 for mountain stages, yet Colnago (like Specialized) uses one bike for everything, does that mean that 1) the Col VR4S is a better bike that provides a sweet spot for aero and climbing, or 2) is Tadej in reality a much better rider than what we see, as he competes with full-on aero bike setups and full climbing bike setups and still wins!!!???? 😮😊
Why publish this while the TDF is being broadcast on GCN+?
My bike is also flat black, so just as good?
thanks but you dont talk about hub ? wich hub is it ?
Begs the question, if his spare bikes get progressively heavier, how much does the nr 6 bike weigh? 👀
So Pogacar has more than 120k in bikes this TDF. That's crazy 🤯
That's not including all the spare components he has separate from the complete frames...
That’s his road bikes. He will have at least 2 TT bikes too.
How about vanderpol and Philisen bikes.
I wonder, when they take the effort to create a fully custom seatpost, why not fully integrate the number holder.
Also, amazing to have this as the fourth bike... Are some heavier to make it easier to start with a lower rim?
What rear hub is he using that makes that sound
@@brokermac No grease, just oil.
@@brokermac The bearings or loose ball bearings (most surely) don't get grease in them, only thin oil, like Mobil 1 0W-40, needed for the stage. Less drag ! These guys have professional mechanics to do the cleaning and re-oiling :-D on a daily basis.
ENVE alloy road hub, ID360 ratchet type developed by Mavic
So they don't use elektronic shifting? Why not?
Anyone know what size he rides?
At least 5cm from seat nose to centre of bottom bracket. Is that still a UCI limit?
Turning in shifters seem a pro fashion now
I noticed Simon went for the rear brake on the left handle. Can Brits drive anything with controls on the proper side? 😀👍
soo no OSPW means there is no gain on OSPW ?
Nice wheelset
It's a dreamy looking bike 🙌
Let them know I can take one of the spare bikes out for multi year testing.
Are the hubs DT Swiss 180 or ...?
Looks chunkier than 180s but they definitely aren’t enve
What is the purpose for making the hub so loud.
To be noticed by car drivers. Works well, but you have to stop pedaling to signal yourself. It would be easier to put a honk on the bike.
@@great_live_music ha
What’s the Bike size?
Better than a f1 😍😍
Is it carbon-ti? or carbon tee aye?
The chainrings look nasty
If this bike is so tricked out how can his number 1 bike be so much lighter?
I run a front Titanium 160mm rotor 52g
I don't think the carbon ti chainrings are lighter than DA, just stiffer
I guess it looks nice, i'm just sick of the black on black on black, with black bar tape, which seems to be the trend on road bikes these days. Time for some colour in the Pro Peleton.
They haven‘t even used the most tricked out Darimo post with the Dyneema loop to hold the saddle. This is for No.1 I guess.
So what's the price tag for his bike tricked out the way it is, must be well north of $25K...
It is free
It costs around 18 000 US Dollars.
Im curious what this would cost if it were on the market.
Probs cheaper to buy a Ducati…
Freehub sound is music to my ears.
No grease, just oil.
And you don't need a bell!
6 bikes...wow
Pog's position is very interesting... he does not use the drops much at all....
A lot of modern positions are “hood first” setups. Majority of the time in the hoods, most aero and efficient, drops for cornering, descending and sprinting
"wider is faster".. is this universally true?? I'm under the impression that wider is faster on imperfect road surfaces, but on smooth roads narrower is faster. Am I wrong?
The tire profile is the same width as the carbon rims--hence aerodynamically faster as per a wind tunnel.
And I still ride 23mm tires on my 25yo MAVIC Open SUP Pro handbuilts. Todays riders are a spoiled lot...
There are a lot of imperfect road conditions in France 😊
I agree, wider wheels have more rubber/weight plus less aero-dynamic.
The Carbon TI rotors and Chainrings are a huge scam. Being a weight wheenie myself I have tried them. The rotor (on paper) is 50g lighter than Dura Ace XTR but they didn’t mention it’s stated weight is only if you use 6 bolts mount. Once you use Center lock (90% of bikes), it weights only 4g lighter.
The Carbon TI chainring weights almost the same as the stock dura ace chainrings. Probably 10-20g lighter.
Do remember that these pros are obligated to their sponsors.
How is 10-20g ‘probably the same?
@@richiejames928 if you take a sh*t before your ride you can probably loose 300g for free.
Weenies are swapping out all the bolts on the bike to save 10-20g's 😂
@@guantisengkun4342 never ride with a full tank.
@@Eirikkinserdal I know! then they buy the biggest pair of sunglasses they can find and grow a massive hipster moustache! 🤣
The elite bottles might be the lightest but they are just the best. A little bit more expensive vs the tacx ones but the tacx bottles are trash. Can't be cleaned properly, if you put anything other than water in them the cap won't pull out anymore. If I kept using them I would definitely have snapped a few teeth.
I thought noisy freehubs was a proof of resistance,.....my old shimano Dura-Ace rear hub is totally silent,.....
I would definitely choose this wheels (ENVE)
No over sized pulley wheels :)

Slovenija❤❤❤❤🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮
Standard V4Rs 12k, custom 17k x 6 = 102.000 euro for all his bikes :) omg!
7.9kgs with deep section wheels?🤔
Flfc 🎉
I thought there was a weight limit to ride pro bikes, but you keep saying its lighting than ever. Much more stiffer than the last bike, Been saying that for thirty years. I guess bikes were made of rubber back then.
Imagine all that carbon shabang and in the end it's 7 kilos. You just have to laugh
I really hate how Shimano made their cranks blend into their chainrings. They look good together, sure, but if you change the ring it does look diabolical. Understandable that they 3D-printed some bits to help the aesthetic. I think they should reconsider the design at some point.
These bikes sound like motorbikes
is it just me, or could Tadej be related to Lance Bass?
and super sloped down saddle - clearly pushing his position as much as possible to the front
Comes with a free juicer
I am not alone... You also tried the wrong brake lever first 😂
European bike - UK operator. Easy mistake.
The devil still requires payment. It’s not greener on the other side.
Tadege Pogocar is my favourite cycling natty.
