Colnago M10 S shares the top spot of the Colnago range together with the C59 Italia. The M10S shares the same geometry with the C59 Italia, substituting the lugged joints and tubes for a one-piece monocoque. The result is the most powerful and lightest Colnago frame.
Thanks to increased bottom bracket size, the 2013 M10 S is stiffer. The frame also features increased vertical absorption to provide more comfort. The same frame is compatible for both Di2/EPS electronic groupsets and traditional mechanical groupsets, both with internal routing. The brake and derailleur cables are also routed internally for a modern clean look.
