    Tadej Pogačar’s Colnago Y1RS 2025 Full Specs, Setup & Race Use

    This is the bike that flies. Tadej Pogačar’s Colnago Y1RS 2025 is built like a jet and rides like one too. It reminds me a bit of the old Kestrel 4000 LTD – that same fast-looking shape.

    🛠 Aero Frame With Race-Ready Details

    Up front you got the bayonet-style fork and that cool V-shaped cockpit. Even the Wahoo bike computer mount is 3D printed. Details, details, details.

    The wheels? ENVE SES 4.5 Pro – pure speed. Paired with either Continental GP5000 TT TR (for max race day speed) or the new Archetype 30mm tires. Interesting thing: those Archetypes were made with Tadej and the UAE Team Emirates XRG, but he still picks the TT tires most days. Probably for the faster rolling and tighter aero profile in 28mm size.

    That’s what sets the Tadej Pogačar Colnago Y1RS 2025 apart, it’s got race-winning tech in every detail.

    This whole bike is like a wind-cheating machine.

    Pogačar races with a Wahoo GPS — here’s the computer UAE Team Emirates uses.

    🧠 Smart Choices for Speed

    Like Pogi’s V5Rs climbing bike, this one runs Shimano Dura‑Ace Di2 R9200 but swaps the stock chainrings for Carbon-Ti ones. Marginal gains? Yeah, world champ level.

    Sprint shifters are added under the top of the handlebar, so he can click gears with hands on top of the bars.

    Saddle? A 3D-printed Fizik Vento Argo Adaptive. Super custom.

    The Tadej Pogačar Colnago Y1RS 2025 is always setup for flat-out racing.

    Weight is around 7.57kg. Not the lightest, but that’s not the point. This is for speed. Flat stages. Fast terrain. Long hauls at high power. When climbing takes over, Pogi swaps to the lighter V5Rs.

    🏁 Which Races Use Which Bike?

    This page focus on UAE Team Emirates Cycling Team 2022. The prime purpose is to link each rider to his bike review as the season goes.

    Needless to present, the team that won the Tour de France 2020 and 2021 with super talented Tadej Pogacar.
    With more strong riders joining this year, the team will keep its winning streak.
    After hiring George Bennett, Primoz Roglic lieutenant till 2021, Jao Almeida, and Marc Soler, UAE Team Emirates Cycling Team 2022 looks like the strongest team heading the Tour de France.

    Looking at the team selection for the Tour de France and La Vuelta, I think UAE will win both Grand Tours with this configuration.

    The team has also fine-tuned its sprinter’s team to support Fernando Gaviria with Pascal Ackermann and Felix Groß joining.
