The 2012 Cannondale Slice RS prototype has been spotted here and there, but it saw some track time at the Ironman World Championships in Kona recently under Michael Weiss. His race bike is shown here and shows off some of the unique -and triathlon specific- features. Notice there’s virtually no cables visible anywhere on the bike? Internal cables aren’t new, but Cannondale’s approach is novel…
Brake and shift cables run out of the handlebar/aerobars and funnel straight into a unique stem cap. From there, they’re routed into the frame. How exactly it’s done is still a bit foggy, but we’ve got a call into Cannondale for specifics. They’re being a bit coy since this is still a prototype.
All pics from our friends over at 3GO Magazine (they’ll have a feature on the bike in their upcoming Kona recap issue), and more of the story, pics and details are posted at Triathlonrumor.com!
