This just in from the Nutmeg State, Cannondale’s launching another great commuter bike to add to their family of city bikes. The new Treadwell is the next in line in Cannondale’s approach to urban cycling. The big “C” has been busy in the commuter space lately with the launch of the throwback FlyingV eBike commuter first, and just recently, the Quick line of hybrids.
The new Cannondale Treadwell is designed as a lightweight hybrid bike that balances simplicity with practical features for everyday riding. Built for commuting, social rides, and general transportation, the bike aims to capture what Cannondale describes as “that feeling of freedom that only two wheels can give.”
The design emphasizes responsiveness and ease of use, without unnecessary complexity. Which means it would be great for riders who want a straightforward bike for getting around town.
Treadwell Features
One standout feature of the new Treadwell is the integrated connectivity system. The included Intellimount stem securely holds an SP-Connect smartphone mount, turning your phone into a cycling computer when paired with the Cannondale App. The AppTag is likely an NFC tag that is embedded in the smartphone mount. When you place your phone on the mount, it automatically senses and reads the NFC tag and opens the Cannondale App. This feature allows riders to track speed, distance, and other metrics during a ride. It also helps with bike registration and service reminders.
For riders who appreciate data tracking or want help maintaining their bike, Cannondale’s connected approach adds value without requiring additional devices or subscriptions, which is pretty cool. You can also find this system on the Quick line of commuters.
The Treadwell line keeps things simple and lightweight. Cannondale positions the Treadwell for daily use scenarios. Use either standard or step-thru models to commute to work, meet friends, or run errands around town. An interesting spec choice is the use of 650b x 47mm tires to provide a wide, grippy, and smooth ride over varied terrain.
