Colnago V4Rs
Racers who want the current Colnago race brief. C68 if you want the lugged flagship.
UAE Team Emirates' race bike. Stiff, aero-enough, and a millimetre size run (420–590) that needs a geometry chart, not a letter size.

Racers who want a climbing Orbea. Orca Aero is the wind-cheating sibling.
Orbea's lightweight race bike, OMX carbon on high kits, and a fit that is race-low without S5 drama. OMX vs OMR changes weight more than geometry.
Racers who like Cannondale's handling. Synapse is the taller sibling; SuperX is the CX/gravel race cousin.
The third-generation EVO: dropped seatstays and truncated-airfoil tubes turned Cannondale's climbing bike into an aero all-rounder with room for 30 mm tires. Lively rather than deep-aero.
