Colnago has unveiled the TT2, a cutting-edge time trial bike engineered for the evolving demands of modern racing. This latest iteration, set to be ridden by Tadej Pogačar in the upcoming Tour de Suisse time trial, marks a significant advancement over its predecessor, the TT1.
Weight Reduction and Performance
The TT2 boasts a frameset that is 550 grams lighter than the TT1, achieved without compromising stiffness, strength, or aerodynamic efficiency. This reduction is particularly advantageous for time trials featuring varied terrains, including climbs and technical sections. Colnago’s design philosophy for the TT2 emphasizes a holistic performance platform, where every component synergistically contributes to the rider’s speed. (colnago.com)
Aerodynamic Enhancements
Aerodynamics remain a focal point in the TT2’s design. The front end has been optimized with a narrower integrated cockpit, a redesigned fork, and an exceptionally slim head tube profile, all aimed at minimizing drag. These refinements result in a claimed two-watt reduction in drag compared to the TT1 at 50 km/h. Additionally, the frame’s aero tube profiles have been updated to enhance stability in crosswinds, thereby increasing rider confidence and speed. (colnago.com)
Modernized Geometry and Fit
The TT2 introduces a revised geometry with four frame sizes—XS, S, M, and L—to accommodate a broader range of riders. Notably, the M and L sizes feature a higher stack, facilitating a more comfortable and aerodynamic riding position. The XS size has been added to cater to smaller riders, ensuring a better fit across the spectrum. Seatpost offsets of 0mm and +22.5mm offer further customization for optimal positioning.

Integration and Compatibility
Colnago has developed the TT2 as a comprehensive performance system, integrating components such as the new Colnago Aero Bottle System. This system features Fidlock® magnetic fastening technology and is UCI-compliant, contributing to the bike’s aerodynamic efficiency. The frame is compatible with both 1x and 2x drivetrains, accommodating a wide range of rider preferences. (colnago.com)
Availability and Pricing
The Colnago TT2 frame kit is priced at £6,499 / $7,500 / €7,040 and is scheduled to be available from late September 2026. This pricing aligns with the TT1’s previous offerings, reflecting Colnago’s commitment to providing high-performance time trial bikes at a consistent value. (colnago.com)
In summary, the Colnago TT2 represents a significant evolution in time trial bike design, combining weight reduction, aerodynamic refinement, and rider-centric geometry to meet the challenges of modern racing courses. With Tadej Pogačar set to debut the TT2 in the Tour de Suisse time trial, its performance on the world stage will be closely watched.
