According to Colnago, it is not a development of the G4-X, but a completely new platform. The starting point: how gravel riders really ride today, and what they ask of their bike. Fast enough for a race, but also ready for long days and bikepacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What's new?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>More tire space:<\/strong> Up to 53 mm nominal width, with an additional 6 mm clearance. Standard tires are 50 mm Goodyear XPLR Inter tires.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>New geometry:<\/strong> Made for more control in fast, rough descents. The head angle is 70.5 degrees, the rear fork is 435 mm.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Storage compartment in the lower part of the seat:<\/strong> Behind a removable bottle holder there is space for tools and spare parts.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Six fixing points:<\/strong> Two for canisters, one under the lower handle, one on the upper handle and two on the fork for canisters or luggage. Three FIDLOCK Twistlock holders are included.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>27.2 mm round saddle tube:<\/strong> That way you can probably also fit a telescopic dropper post on it.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Practical standards:<\/strong> a BSA threaded trapax, an UDH derailleur chainring and space for a front sprocket up to 50 teeth at 1x.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-opbergvak.jpg\" alt=\"The removable lid of the storage compartment in the lower tube of the Colnago G5-X\" class=\"wp-image-3317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-opbergvak.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-opbergvak-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-opbergvak-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-opbergvak-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-opbergvak-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-opbergvak-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-opbergvak-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Behind the bottle holder there is a storage compartment in the lower tube.

The top version has a 40T front sprocket with a 10-46 cassette and rolls on <strong>Zipp 303 XPLR SW<\/strong>-carbon wheels (32 mm inner width). The new integrated <strong>CC.01 Wide<\/strong>-The steering tube is extended from 400 to 460 mm at the bottom, for more control on gravel. All cables run completely internally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are five sizes (450 to 570) and two colors: Carbon Blue and green. Colnago offers a three-year warranty if you register the bike. Colnago has not yet announced prices on the product page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-groen-detail.jpg\" alt=\"Detail of the head tube and fork of the green Colnago G5-X with wide gravel tire\" class=\"wp-image-3318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-groen-detail.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-groen-detail-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-groen-detail-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-groen-detail-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-groen-detail-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-groen-detail-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/colnago-g5-x-groen-detail-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The G5-X is also available in green.

The round saddle post that is suitable for a dropper shows that gravel is becoming increasingly technical. With 53 mm tire space, it still lags behind the new Canyon Grail (57 mm), but for most gravel rides that is more than enough. Curious about the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colnago.com\/en\/products\/g5-x-bike\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colnago G5-X<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colnago launches the G5-X, the successor to the G4-X.
