The Colnago CX Zero Evo Ultegra Complete Bike may be the best, all-purpose machine that we've seen roll through our doors. Starting with raw carbon — which is sourced exclusively from Toray's Japanese factory so it's guaranteed perfect, every time — and ending with a full drivetrain of Shimano's redesigned Ultegra groupset, this build of the CX Zero Evo is the only bike you'll need for any application. This isn't just marketing speculation; rather, it's a proven hypothesis. Team Europcar has successfully field-tested the CX Zero Evo for you, conquering conditions as varied as the cobblestones of the Hell of the North and the highest peaks in the Tour. If you're a cyclist who's ready to take the next step, then the CX Zero Evo Ultegra is the one.
The CX Zero's flexibility is evidenced by the longer wheelbase, higher stack, and shorter reach, which put you in a more comfortable and stable upright position than traditionally aggressive racing frames like the C60. This translates to making butter of rough, chipseal road surfaces over long days on the rural roads whose tendency toward uninterrupted expanses mean they often feature in both training rides and races to avoid impacting the host community's day-to-day. The seatstays are also thinned and flattened to absorb hits and road noise, and the 27.2 millimeter seat post provides even more compliance for a plush ride.
The use of different carbon moduli throughout the frame ensures that these forgiving qualities don't come at the cost of efficient power transfer. The bottom bracket, down tube, and head tube are all built up with higher moduli carbon that virtually eliminates lost watts due to torsional flex. The chainstays also feed into the bottom bracket with a generously oversized tube shape that further complements the frame's overall stiffness without sacrificing ride comfort.
There is a school of thought that any components that don't share branding with the professionals' gear is "slop," unfit to ride in any competitive capacity. This school of thought has two drawbacks: it means every generation of acceptable gear will be obsolete in a year, and it costs a lot. Given the choice, many of us prefer the Shimano Ultegra drivetrain included here, opting for the trickle-down technology at a slightly higher weight than the top-end Dura-Ace. The truth is that Ultegra is functionally similar to Dura-Ace, using the same technologies like Vivid Index for precise shifting, even under load. It's got a true racing pedigree, which is further emphasized by the inclusion of a hollow-armed Ultegra crank — currently in the running for our favorite road crankset in the industry — and the matching 6800 wheelset.
