Previously only available as a complete bike built with expensive, high-end groups and wheels, Cannondale’s top of the line road bike will now be offered as a frameset.
The full tech breakdown on the 2012 Cannondale SuperSix EVO bikes is in this post, and we weighed a few of them here. Here’s the quick refresher: The 695g frame, which they claim is the lightest production road bike frame available, uses such tricks as one-piece rear triangles with co-molded dropouts and continuous fibers to maintain strength and durability. It even incorporates their Speed SAVE stays to help with rear traction by offering a hint of compliance. The head and main tubes are slimmer to give it a thinner frontal profile against the wind. Lastly, weight’s not the only claim to fame. C’dale also says this frame has the highest stiffness to weight ratio of any bike tested.
The frameset comes with a Speed SAVE BallisTec fork (same material as the frame) and SRAM PFBB30 bottom bracket and headset installed. U.S. MSRP TBD. Check the original launch video for this bike after the break…
