The fork is also much lighter, 393 grams against 530 grams for the TT1 fork.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A half kilo saving on a top-level road machine would be very difficult to achieve without compromise. It seems Colnago has found a way to drop this healthy chunk of weight from the TT rig with its added frame real estate whilst still &#8216;preserving the stiffness, strength and aerodynamic efficiency required&#8217;.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\">\n        <span class=\"&#10;            flex&#10;            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]&#10;            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]&#10;            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold&#10;        \"><br \/>\n            What to read next<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">In short, it sounds like the TT2 will result in a 550-odd-gram lighter bike, but it&#8217;s now faster and more stable, with an updated geometry that makes it more user-friendly and more suited to modern time trial courses that appear to be moving away from the long, straight drag strips of old.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Colnago says the TT2 has &#8216;simplified structural junctions&#8217;, a revised carbon layup strategy and a new fork concept. As is the norm with high-end bike design, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel testing were used in the development of the bike.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-imageGallery-j842MXnmRVMcT5qWznbfRk-Jmh4lqoBCl8D1FBxagfoJbu13pFPpVjY\" class=\"slice-container imageGallery-wrapper imageGallery-j842MXnmRVMcT5qWznbfRk-Jmh4lqoBCl8D1FBxagfoJbu13pFPpVjY slice-container-imageGallery\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"inline-gallery first-slide-only\">\n<p>Image <!-- -->1<!-- --> of <!-- -->3<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:hidden\" class=\"inline-gallery__items\">\n<div style=\"-webkit-flex-direction:row;flex-direction:row;-webkit-transition:all 0s ease 0s;transition:all 0s ease 0s;-webkit-transform:translate(0%, 0);transform:translate(0%, 0);direction:ltr;display:flex;will-change:transform\" class=\"react-swipeable-view-container\">\n<div style=\"width:100%;-webkit-flex-shrink:0;flex-shrink:0;overflow:auto\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-swipeable=\"true\">\n<div class=\"items__item\">\n<div class=\"item__image-cont\">\n<div class=\"image-cont__image\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"false\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1120px\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__aspect-padding\" style=\"padding-bottom:75.08928571428571%\">\n<div style=\"display:contents\"><picture data-hydrate=\"true\"><source class=\"image-wrapped__image image__image\" type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/m5hUMoMFWgsuwpuVUpN7gK-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/m5hUMoMFWgsuwpuVUpN7gK-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/m5hUMoMFWgsuwpuVUpN7gK-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/m5hUMoMFWgsuwpuVUpN7gK-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/m5hUMoMFWgsuwpuVUpN7gK-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/m5hUMoMFWgsuwpuVUpN7gK-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw -

There&#8217;s a narrower handlebar that measures 36cm centre-to-centre, a new fork and a slimmer 32mm-wide head tube. Front-end <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/tag\/performance\/\" data-auto-tag-linker=\"true\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/tag\/performance\/\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/tag\/performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">performance<\/a> is very important aerodynamically, and this has clearly been a concern for the TT2.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The rear of the bike has also received attention. The seatstays are wider around the rear wheel to improve airflow, and more smoothly integrated into the seat tube; it looks far less eye-catching and angular than the TT1 design.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Elsewhere, the bottom bracket, seatpost and fork, as mentioned, are all new and more high-modulus carbon fibre has been used across the frame.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The brand claims a two-watt saving compared to the TT1 across &#8216;a weighted range of real whirlwind conditions,&#8217; and confirms aerodynamic drag is lower than the TT1.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Colnago also cites stability as a key concern for the TT2, and the frame has new shallower tube profiles specifically to provide more predictable &#8216;airflow behaviour across a range of yaw angles&#8217;. Colnago makes the case that fewer steering corrections let riders maintain their aero position more effectively.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Various pro riders have crashed on TT bikes in training, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/pro-cycling\/teams-riders\/i-wasnt-feeling-great-pre-race-training-crash-and-lack-of-form-sees-tough-return-for-wout-van-aert-at-tour-auvergne-rhone-alpes\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/pro-cycling\/teams-riders\/i-wasnt-feeling-great-pre-race-training-crash-and-lack-of-form-sees-tough-return-for-wout-van-aert-at-tour-auvergne-rhone-alpes\/\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/pro-cycling\/teams-riders\/i-wasnt-feeling-great-pre-race-training-crash-and-lack-of-form-sees-tough-return-for-wout-van-aert-at-tour-auvergne-rhone-alpes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">most recently Wout van Aert<\/a>; perhaps a more stable all-round bike will help riders when training and competing.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Geometry has also been updated. The XS size is new, and stack\/reach numbers have been altered. Stack height now grows as reach increases, whereas it flatlined before in larger sizes. Colnago says this change reduces the need for extreme spacer configurations, i.e riders would add multiple spacers to the handlebar configuration to achieve their desired position.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The seat tube angle has gotten steeper, and the bottom bracket drop has been lowered to facilitate &#8216;aggressive forward rider positions&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-8493a85f-649a-4df7-9a11-b21ce534ab0b\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-magnetic-aero-bottle-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A magnetic aero bottle <\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-96745b34-d9ef-49ea-ae4f-99874fdee304\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:886px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:65.80%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qRovYJtvjYTAnYGtftBPmE-886-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qRovYJtvjYTAnYGtftBPmE-886-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qRovYJtvjYTAnYGtftBPmE-886-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qRovYJtvjYTAnYGtftBPmE-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qRovYJtvjYTAnYGtftBPmE-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qRovYJtvjYTAnYGtftBPmE-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A Colnago TT2 aero water bottle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qRovYJtvjYTAnYGtftBPmE-886-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qRovYJtvjYTAnYGtftBPmE-886-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qRovYJtvjYTAnYGtftBPmE-886-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qRovYJtvjYTAnYGtftBPmE-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qRovYJtvjYTAnYGtftBPmE-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qRovYJtvjYTAnYGtftBPmE-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qRovYJtvjYTAnYGtftBPmE.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qRovYJtvjYTAnYGtftBPmE.jpg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">A magnetic fidlock system has been used <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Colnago)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-7ddc77de-d23b-4f05-941a-e9ac3ff64275\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">;An integrated aero bottle is also included with the TT2, and it&#8217;s an &#8216;aerodynamic component of the bike&#8217;.
