Cannondale SuperSix

SuperSix
Ever dream of riding the best climbing bike to the top of Tourmalet? Sprinting for the green jersey with a bike possessed of unmatched efficiency?

It's possible on a SuperSix. When one rolls up to the line, heads turn. It's a harbinger of victory and is pro-Tour proven, constructed entirely of HI-MODulus, unidirectional carbon fiber that's tuned for the most precise, efficient ride available today.

Features:

  • All-day Comfort: Cannondale’s innovative Thinline seat stays use a special shape and carbon layup to simultaneously deliver comfort from road buzz on long training days, and deliver the lateral rigidity needed to power up Mont Ventoux.
  • Razor-sharp steering: The tapered, oversized head tube shaves weight and improves stiffness for tremendous lateral stiffness – all of which delivers incredibly precise steering. A full-carbon fork with matching tapered steerer and oversized crown mates with the head tube.
  • BB30/Si: The 30mm spindle and ceramic bearings offer far less resistance than traditional crank systems. When combined with the Hollowgram Si SL, it’s the lightest and stiffest production crank system on the planet. The Cannondale-developed BB30 also reduces Q-factor for reduced drag over the longest stages!
  • Tuned Layup: The proprietary layup of the SuperSix Hi-Mod monocoque frame extract maximum performance from each tube while simultaneously shaving weight. The entire frame – down to the dropouts – is carbon for the quickest sprinting frame in the peleton.
  • "The Heart": Created from one piece of ultra-stiff Hi-Mod carbon fiber, the oversized bottom bracket shell and chainstays deliver sprint-winning power transfer.

 
Cannondale Slice

Slice
If Kona is on the schedule, the Slice is the obvious choice. Race-proven geometry puts riders in a lower position and the improved laminar flow helps shed drag and shave minutes from personal best times.

Features:

  • S.A.V.E.: Slice Active Vibration Elimination in the chaistays and a moderate bend in the seat stays provide buzz-free comfort for the long haul. The result is that riders come off the bike fresher for the run.
  • Optimal Body Position: Cannondale uses size-specific head tube heights to customize rider position. Because most drag during a race is created by the rider – not the bike – putting the rider in the lowest possible position results in faster race times.
  • Improved Laminar Flow: Wind-cheating Hi-Mod carbon tubes are used to reduce drag. Fork legs, down and seat tubes, seat stays and seat post are all shaped to limit turbulent (and speed reducing) air flow.

Synapse
Ultra-light, full-carbon, unibody design is optimized for performance riding. The Synapse tactical carbon fiber lay-up provides a pin-point balance of road vibration damping comfort and lateral efficiency in one consummate ride.

Features:

  • Eliminate Fatigue: High-frequency vibration is fatiguing over the long haul. The Cannondale Synapse uses High-Mod carbon fiber that’s specially shaped to improve rider comfort, maximize pedaling power transfer, and eliminate road buzz.
  • High-Performance Lay-Up: Tube shaping is our specialty, and the Synapse benefits from the high-performance lay-up of optimized high-modulus carbon fiber. Ultimately, the shaped tubing is engineered to wring every bit of performance from a rider’s pedal stroke.
  • S.A.V.E Technology: Specially shaped chain stays and a moderate bend in the seat stays provide sophisticated vibration damping, combined with unyielding lateral flex resistance for excellent climbing and sprinting characteristics. We call it Synapse Active Vibration Elimination.
  • Confidence-Inspiring Frames: Re-engineered geometry puts the riders control. We simultaneously improved performance and power transfer with optimized tube shaping, placing cyclists in a superior riding position. The result? Ultimate performance in a confidence-inspiring package.

 
Cannondale CAAD9

CAAD9
Road racing starts here. Cannondale Advanced Aluminum Design. Handcrafted aluminum - evolved and optimized. Purists know that the feel began here.

Features:

  • CAAD technology: Cannondale Advanced Aluminum Design includes optimized tube shaping, including the PowerPyramid down tube. Thicker walls at the head tube for impact resistance, with oversize diameter at the BB shell for torsional resistance.
  • Hourglass aero seat stays: Give vertical compliance at only 90 grams!
  • Oversized asymmetrical chainstays: Asymmetry in the oversized stays gives performance exactly where it’s needed without any unnecessary weight penalty.
