COLNAGO 梅花 Y1Rs. The dated ¥59,800 listing is now decisively identified as the mainland China Y1Rs frame kit—not a complete bike—and current manufacturer specifications establish a nominal 32 mm maximum tire size.
The displayed Est. ¥65,800 estimate adds the adjustable ¥6,000 build allowance to the recorded ¥59,800 frame price.
Package contents are unconfirmed; do not subtract component costs from the allowance without an exact package quote.
Buying context
Before buying, verify Current exact mainland China purchase source authority, checkout conditions, stock, size, and paint selection; Exact domestic warranty and after-sales route for the frame kit.

Configuration note
Complete-bike weight and drivetrain are non-applicable to the tracked ¥59,800 frame kit; Colnago sells multiple complete configurations separately
Frame material
Carbon-fiber frame with a model-specific, area-tuned lay-up; exact fiber grades, proportions, and ply schedule are unpublished
Stiffness evidence
Colnago claims the Y1Rs frame structure is 3.5% stiffer than the previous model for sprint power transfer; this is a manufacturer-relative claim without a public structural-test protocol or independent exact-frame measurement
Exact China launch coverage and current mainland China indexes identify ¥59,800 as the frame-kit package. Promotional complete-bike photography does not turn the priced frameset into a complete bike; no complete weight or drivetrain is assigned.

About COLNAGO
The brand/model identity is visible in the dated China-market snapshot; manufacturing relationship and model-level support are not independently established in this import.
An August 2026 first proper ride of a Colnago Y1Rs test bike on a fast group ride, with impressions of speed, crosswind handling and comfort. He used his own deep wheels and 28 mm tyres, so the ride differs from the stock build, and it is a complete bike rather than the mainland China frame kit recorded here.
David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes · 2026-08-20. David Arthur rode a test bike that arrived for review (the video does not say from whom) and calls his thoughts unpaid. The description names Assos and Insta360 as channel sponsors and links a camera.Disclosure basis.
Takeaways
Ride impression3:47On a 40 km chain gang averaging 38 km/h it felt like one of the fastest bikes he had ridden, but not noticeably quicker than an Aeroad CFR, Madone SLR, Propel, Teammachine or Tarmac on this first proper ride.
Ride impression5:11In strong crosswinds the bike was pushed around more than a Tarmac or Aeroad, which he put down to the frame shape plus deep wheels; the same wheels felt steadier on his own Colnago C64.
Ride impression5:54The seat-tube junction gave a fairly smooth ride through the saddle, but on rough roads with 28 mm tyres the ride was firm with plenty of feedback, especially through the bar. He rode his own wheels and tyres, not the supplied Vision wheels with 32 mm tyres.
Fit check7:59Despite the unusual frame, the contact points, reach and geometry felt like a normal race bike; he found it a bit heavy but gave no weight.

Cyclingnews Tech · 2026-02-12. Publication review with Cyclingnews wind-tunnel testing; the complete Dura-Ace build tested differs from the candidate's mainland China frame kit.Disclosure basis.
Takeaways
Fit check1:22The cantilevered seat mast must be cut to length; the effective seat angle is conventional, and the gull-wing cockpit offers no usable tops position for long climbs.
Measured4:12Bike-only it saved 37.1 W against Cyclingnews' baseline (the fastest bike saved 40.3 W); with a rider it was top five, 3.7 W behind the Cervélo S5, and it gains in crosswinds.
Ride impression6:52Livelier and more race-geometry than older Colnagos, fast-feeling and stiff at the rear, but vertically harsh and less precise than a Dogma.
Finish and faults8:27The tester felt the narrow bayonet-fork junction and tall front triangle made the front end twist under braking and sprinting, and he experienced a speed wobble.
Price at publication10:40The top build was US$21,000 without a power meter or top-tier tires, and the Di2 cable needed electrical tape because no grommet was supplied.

Current manufacturer FAQ says the retail Y1Rs uses the same carbon lay-up, geometry and structural engineering as the race frame. It describes model-specific, area-tuned fiber orientation, reinforcement and thickness for lateral and torsional stiffness, but does not publish fiber grades, proportions, ply schedule or a test protocol.
