We reply to one of our readers who asks us for advice on the Colnago V4Rs bike compared to the BMC SLR One, is it worth spending all the extra money on a Colnago?

Colnago V4RS 2023 road test ride review all you need to know

Isn't this magazine that exalts the latest news as if there were no tomorrow, in the same way as the latest (useless) technological discovery ...

Is it worth spending a lot of money to swap bikes from a 2020 model (BMC) to a 2023 model (Colnago)?

Every time the amateur spends money on a bicycle, he flushes it down the toilet ... marketing reigns supreme, fueling non-existent needs, when not counterproductive.

A modern bike costs at least 5,000 euros more and weighs at least a kilo more than a bike a few years back.

Where would the progress be???

But as long as you run after hucksters and smoke and mirrors, companies are right to offer what the market requires ...

So there wouldn't be much logical sense in swapping his current excellent BMC race bike for a Colnago.

Given the type of frame it has, it is true that it is heavier, but also more comfortable than the 2023 Colnago V4Rs, which is clearly lighter and would have greater performance.

Provided that his legs are able to exploit them.

So it's not me who can tell her to spend money on this or that bike.

The money is his ...

I can only tell you that compared to its current BMC, the Colnago is less comfortable, but faster, just as safe at high speeds and also faster when cornering, perhaps just more difficult to drive due to its greater reactivity, which requires greater quick reflexes when riding the bike.

It's up to you now to decide if these features are worth the check to be written.

Two beautiful bikes, but also somewhat different, not necessarily one better than the other.
