ACOL, the new Alessandro Colnago's brand
Alessandro Colnago, nephew of the legendary Ernesto Colnago, seeks to follow in his uncle's footsteps with the creation of the ACOL brand. A brand that, like Colnago, will focus on the manufacturing of premium bikes and includes models to satisfy all preferences.
Colnago's genes extend to the new ACOL brand
To serve as a bridge between tradition and innovation. This is how ACOL is presented, the brand recently founded by Alessandro Colnago, nephew of the legendary bicycle manufacturer, aiming to make its way in an increasingly competitive bike market with a proposal of top-level bikes, all with curved handlebars, no mountain bikes, but going beyond the road by including gravel and track models in its first catalog.

For the manufacturing of their bikes, ACOL relies on the Korean firm WIAWIS, specialists in the production of bows, from which they obtain the carbon fiber that shapes their frames, fibers with carbon nanotubes and graphene to achieve the best properties for the frames.
ACOL comes to light with 6 bicycle models that cover practically all segments. Starting with pure road bikes among which we have the ACOL SL, a model with classic lines and rounded tubes that achieves a frame of only 686 g on which a minimalist paint is applied to keep the weight to a minimum.
If, on the other hand, you prefer aerodynamics, your model is the Divinus, a bike that follows the general design lines that prevail in the market with solutions such as a very deep steering tube, truncated profile tubes, or low stays.
ACOL's offer of road bikes does not end there as they could not help but make a nod to their roots. In this case, they achieve it with the DNA model, a bike with thin carbon tubes joined with lugs and classic geometry that will enchant those who long for those bikes from the early 21st century, a time when carbon was slowly starting to take over the previously dominant aluminum.
ACOL also has a Gravel model, the Tuscia, in this case more focused on adventurous gravel with a frame full of attachment points for bike packing bags and other accessories, as well as integrating a storage system in its downtube.
ACOL's offer ends with the TXT model, a track bike that features two frames, one more conventional oriented towards endurance and speed disciplines, and another purely aerodynamic with a specific handlebar with attachments for those looking to break records in pursuits.
