The new Colnago V5Rs has officially been announced to join the UAE Team Emirates lineup. Lighter than any other model previously made by the italian brand, this bike is build for pure performance, innovation, and speed. To win. More. 

At its core lies a piece of technology that has been a staple since 2024: a Bikone bottom bracket.

Both V5Rs and Y1Rs share the same bottom bracket standard, our BSA Road Ceramic UAE Edition by Bikone. Previously featured on last season’s Colnago TT1, the BSA Road Ceramic system has now been extended to the rest of the team’s bikes for 2025. UAE Team Emirates
continues to rely on Bikone’s ceramic precision to deliver stiffness,
efficiency, and durability proven at the highest level of racing.

The BSA Road Ceramic UAE Edition features our proprietary Dual Cup design, crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum. This structure ensures perfect alignment of the ceramic bearings, eliminating unwanted creaks or movement, and providing a smoother, quieter pedal stroke.

Inside, high-performance ceramic bearings with low rolling resistance boost power transfer and reduce energy loss. The result: a more efficient ride at every level, from training rides to WorldTour races.

Weighing only 94 grams, this bottom bracket is exceptionally light without compromising strength. The fully sealed design protects the system from water, dust, and debris—ensuring consistent performance in all conditions.

Whether you’re a professional or a serious enthusiast, you can now experience the same cutting-edge tech trusted by the UAE Team Emirates.
