WITH THe all neW SuperSix eVO, CAnnOndAle HAS OnCe AGAIn reSeT THe STAndArd fOr CyClInG effICIenCy.

Weight, Stiffness, Strength, Compliance and Aerodynamics; these five factors are the cornerstones of cycling efficiency. each one is vital on its own, but more important than any individual factor is striking a balance between all of these competing elements, bringing out the maximum benefits of each attribute in such a way that no one element dominates the others. When all of these elements are balanced, when the bike disappears beneath you and simply becomes an extension of your body, that’s the truest expression of efficiency. That’s the magic; what separates the truly great from the merely good. The SuperSix eVO is the distilled sum of everything we’ve learned up to this point.

It is the most efficient road bike ever created.

it’S ultra light.

At just 695 grams*, it is the lightest frame ever tested at Zedler fahrradtechnik in Germany.

it’S Stiff.

It has the best stiffness-to-weight ever recorded, an incredible 142.3 nm/deg/kg.*

it’S StrOng.

Ballistec Carbon Construction and superior carbon engineering allow the eVO to outperform even the legendary CaaD9 in destructive and fatigue testing.

it’S SmOOth.

rather than simply improving rider comfort, the two-zone SpeeD SaVe micro-suspension system is designed to help the eVO roll, corner and accelerate faster.

it’S Slim.

The eVO achieves its strength, stiffness and compliance all with smaller tube diameters. This drastically reduces its frontal area, giving it significantly less drag than its oversized competitors, without the weight and stiffness compromises of aero tube shapes.

The perfect balance of light weight, stiffness, strength, vertical compliance and drag reduction – the SuperSix eVO is the evolution of

efficiency.

TeCHnOlOGy HIGHlIGHTS

1. BalliSteC CArbOn

Our High-Strength, High-Impact carbon construction. ultra high-strength fibers developed for military ballistic armoring, and impact-resistant hot-melt resins are used as the primary structural materials of the frame while the stiffer but more brittle high-modulus carbon fibers are used strategically solely to enhance stiffness and tune ride-feel. lighter and stiffer than aluminum, pound for pound stronger than steel, Ballistec ends the traditional connection between ultra-light carbon frames and fragility. Over. Period. end of story.

2. COnTInuOuS CArbOn

The eVO’s construction features a continuous network of high modulus stiffening fibers which run around the joint areas and along the outside edges of the frame tubes. This network connects all the parts of the frame and allows us to precisely tune the ride quality and handling.

3. QuAdruPle MOnOCOQue deSIGn

The eVO is made up of four individual monocoque pieces. The head tube/down tube/top tube, the bb/seat tube, and each chain stay/dropout/seat stay assembly are separately molded, then joined with a precise pattern of carbon overwrapping.

4. One-PIeCe STAy/drOPOuT ASSeMblIeS

One of the key weight saving features on the eVO is the innovative rear stay/dropout assemblies. The chain stay, seat stay and dropout are molded as a single piece on each side. This requires a separate mold for each side, for each size bike but allows us to run carbon continuously from each stay through the dropout, distributing force more evenly and saving over 40 grams compared to traditional construction methods.

5. SpeeD SaVe MICrO-SuSPenSIOn SySTeM

Smoother is faster. While most companies view vertical compliance simply as a means to enhance rider comfort, we’ve designed a vertical compliance system that actually makes the bike faster.

The SuperSix eVO has two zones of vertical compliance which work together to improve comfort and speed. The first zone, made up of the SpeeD SaVe Stays and Offset Dropout fork Blades, focuses primarily on chassis dynamics. Much like the suspension on an f1 car, these features are engineered to help the bike roll faster, not necessarily to add comfort. Subtle vertical compliance in these areas, mated with superb lateral and torsional rigidity, delivers improved rolling speed, better acceleration, dramatically improved cornering speed and control without negatively affecting power transfer.

The second zone concentrates on rider comfort. The seat tube features a directionally optimized carbon layup which allows it to deflect slightly fore and aft, which diffuses vibration and impacts and reduces the energy-sapping muscle micro-trauma caused by long days in the saddle.

5A. SpeeD SaVe reAr STAyS

Sophisticated carbon lay-up and refined tube shaping create an ultra light chain stay/seat stay assembly that allows controlled vertical movement of the rear wheel while retaining exceptional lateral and torsional stiffness. The SpeeD SaVe Stays are tuned with work with the SpeeD SaVe Offset Dropout fork.

5b. SpeeD SaVe OffSeT drOPOuT CArbOn fOrk

The 1-1/8” to 1-1/4” tapered carbon steerer is lighter than 1.5” tapered forks and stiffer than the 1-1/8” forks. The 315 gram SpeeD SaVe fork also features offset dropouts, allowing more fork angle for vertical compliance while maintaining the same great handling geometry as the SuperSix. Tuned to work with the SpeeD SaVe rear Stays.

5C. delTA SeAT Tube

The Delta Seat tube on the eVO features a carbon lay- that allows it to deflect slightly fore-aft under a rider’s weight to absorb impacts and vibration. It is laterally ovalized at the bb to maximize rigidity.

6. PreSSfIT BB30

With the Pressfit BB30 system we can mold the entire bottom bracket shell and seat tube in carbon, utilizing continuous fibers that run the length of the structure. even with the added weight of the cups, this saves over 25 grams and adds stiffness.

7. erGOnOMIC TOP Tube

The shape of the top tube design maximizes the width and contact area with the head tube for rigidity, then narrows through the middle for knee clearance, then widens again for lateral stiffness where it meets the seat stays. This offers maximum stiffness while still allowing an aero knees-in riding position.

8. reduCed frOnTAl AreA

Compared to the oversized competition, the eVO has around a 20% smaller diameter down tube, 11% smaller diameter head tube and 15% thinner fork blades. All this adds up to a significant reduction in frontal area and less aerodynamic drag without the added weight and lost rigidity of aero tube shapes.

1. lIGHT And STIff

lightweight with great lateral and torsional stiffness but with an incredible road feel and liveliness often lost in carbon frames.

2. CO –Cured MOnOCOQue frOnT TrIAnGle

Monocoque front triangle with optimized carbon layup, rear stays and size-specific alloy-faced full carbon dropouts are each molded as a single piece with precise radius-matched interfaces. Precise radius matching allows for maximum contact and support with the mating surface. The parts are joined by co-curing/carbon overwrapping. A more complex and expensive process, co-curing creates lighter, stiffer and stronger structures than the lugged or internal lugged junctions found on many other carbon frames.

3. beATbOX bb

Massively oversized BeatBox BB area delivers torsional rigidity needed to turn the twisting loads from the cranks into forward momentum.

SIZeS:48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 63cm

A WOrd AbOuT CArbOn fIber: Cannondale uses unidirectional carbon fiber exclusively for our carbon construction. This allows our engineers to fine tune the directional strength of carbon – its anisotropic properties – to maximize performance depending upon the loads and characteristics in each tube.

While other bike manufacturers use woven fibers, we prefer not to use it for two reasons:

1. Any kind of woven fibers – take the shirt you’re wearing, for example – has a bit of give or stretch to it. The last thing that sprinters want when they’re headed for the line is a frame that has a bit of give as the fibers expand and then contract. This kind of performance robs

valuable energy that could otherwise be used to drive the bike forward. no one wants a bike that’s designed like their shirt.

2. Woven carbon fiber puts the fibers at 90 degrees to one another, which can negate any ability to fine tune carbon’s performance. When paired with sophisticated engineering and lay-up, unidirectional fibers allow us to precisely control a tube’s directional stiffness. This keeps you tracking true through the turns and maximizes every watt of power in the sprints and climbs.

10. BB30 SySTeM

found on all SuperSixes, BB30 is the epitome of System integration. Cannondale invented the BB30 standard 10 years ago to take crank and frame performance to the next level. now an industry standard, BB30 is still the best combination of light weight, stiffness, and ankle/heel clearance.

HISTOry rePeATS: AlMOST 30 yeArS AGO, CAnnOndAle’S OVerSIZed AluMInuM frAMeS reWrOTe THe bOOk On bIke deSIGn. TWelVe MOnTHS AGO We rOCked THe InduSTry WITH THe InTrOduCTIOn Of CaaD10, A bIke THAT HAS yeT AGAIn reSeT THe lIMITS Of WHAT’S POSSIble WITH AluMInuM And GArnered unIVerSAl rAVe reVIeWS In THe PrOCeSS.

Tipping the scales at a mere 1150 grams* it’s not only the lightest aluminum road frame ever created, it’s lighter than most of our competitors’ elite carbon frames.

CaaD10 is light years ahead of any other aluminum bike on the market. It doesn’t look like any other aluminum bike and it sure as hell doesn’t ride like any other aluminum bike out there. repeatedly compared to carbon models in ride feel and performance, it’s an all-out racer that not only corners like a race car in the crits, but also puts the average carbon fiber frame to shame in stage races or your local training ride.

*Size 56, Black Anodized colour, complete with hardware.


1. rACe GeOMeTry. rACe PerfOrMAnCe

CaaD10 is a racer through and through, unlike many of our competitors’ aluminum bikes with geometries that dumb down the delight of riding a high performance aluminum race machine. engineered for performance, the CaaD10 rides better than most carbon offerings.

2. SMArTfOrMed 6069 AllOy COnSTruCTIOn

The most sophisticated aluminum construction on the planet allows ultra precise wall-thickness and tube shape manipulation, ensuring that material is placed exactly where it is needed for stiffness and

strength with zero excess.

3. OPTIMIZed Tube SHAPeS

Oversized, round down tube flares to meet the head tube for maximum stiffness. The massive, horizontally ovalized top tube measures a huge 47.5x42mm where it meets the head tube, narrows through the middle for knee clearance, then widens again to meet the seat stays.

4. SpeeD SaVe STAyS

The SpeeD SaVe chain stays and seat stays are shaped and butted to allow them to flex vertically but stay extremely stiff laterally and vertically. functioning like the suspension on f1 cars, SpeeD SaVe offers improved rolling speed, better acceleration, and dramatically improved cornering speed and control without negatively affecting power transfer.

5. SpeeD SaVe CArbOn fOrk

The 1-1/8” to 1-1/4” tapered carbon steerer is lighter than 1.5” tapered forks and stiffer than the 1-1/8” forks. The 360 gram SpeeD SaVe fork also features offset dropouts, allowing more fork angle for vertical compliance without affecting the handling. Tuned to work with the SpeeD SaVe rear stays.


The driveside chain stay is oversized to better resist the loads from the drivetrain, while the non-drive stay is optimized for weight savings.

ACCOrdInG TO THe edITOrS:

“Capable of going head-to-head with many a costlier carbon offering and trouncing them… Cannondale have performed something bordering on Alchemy here.” –Bicycle Buyer, UK 1/11

“The reality is a CAAd10-1, …with an extra $2000.00 budget for high-end race wheels, will deliver more performance than any $5000.00 carbon bike.”–Peloton, USA 12/10

“evaluating the bike’s speed both by gear selection and stopwatch, Cannondale’s CAAd10 rode faster for us than other bikes in this price and weight range.” –Bicycling, USA 04/11

7. delTA SeAT Tube

The 27.2 compatible seat tube is laterally ovalized at the bb for great bb stiffness.

8. TAPered HeAd Tube

The externally machined, oversized head tube houses a 1-1/8” to 1-1/4” tapered carbon steerer fork.

9. HOllOW fOrGed brAke brIdGe

light and stiff, little details like this really add up.

10. SMOOTH WeldS

A true smooth weld, rather than the sand, putty, and paint “smooth

welds” of our competition, Cannondale’s trademark double-pass smooth weld technology eliminates the stress-risers and weak points found on traditionally welded frames, enabling us to build lighter, stronger frames.

11. BB30 SySTeM

BB30 is the epitome of System integration. Cannondale invented BB30 10 years ago to take crank and frame performance to the next level and it has become THe industry standard for stiffness, light weight and ankle / heel clearance.

1. HeAdSuP rACe GeOMeTry

The CaaD8 shares the proven race geometry of its more expensive brethren but with a slightly taller head tube (+1.5mm) for a more relaxed riding position.

2. SAVe STAyS

Optimized chain stay and seat stay shaping provides lateral rigidity while providing vertical compliance for bump absorption and comfort with no loss in power transfer.

3. SMOOTH WeldS

A true smooth weld, rather than the sand, putty, and paint “smooth welds” of our competition, Cannondale’s trademark double-pass smooth weld technology eliminates the stress-risers and weak points found on traditionally welded frames, enabling us to build lighter, stronger frames.


Just like on our premium race bikes, we oversize and reshape the driveside chain stay to better handle the loads from the drivetrain, while keeping the non-drive stay svelte for weight savings.

5. eXTernAlly MACHIned HeAd Tube

A technique Cannondale has used for years, excess material is precisely machined out of the low stress areas of the head tube, saving significant weight with no loss of strength.

6. TAPer-buTTed TubeS

like the legendary CAAd frames of the past, the CaaD8 features 6061 aluminum which has been taper-butted and heat-treated to a T6 hardness. The smooth transitions provided by taper-butting eliminate the internal stress risers of traditionally butted frames, again allowing a lighter, stronger frame.

Totally redesigned for 2012, the new CaaD8 draws on our decades of aluminum engineering expertise to bring a remarkable level of performance to the entry-level road category. by far the lightest frame in its class, the Cannondale CaaD8 shares many of the features and tube shapes of our incredible CAAd10 and mates them with a slightly more forgiving headsup race geometry.The trademark smooth double-pass welds, compliant SAVe rear stays, efficient asymmetric chain stays, and unmistakable Cannondale ride-feel make it clear that, rather than being just another aluminum road bike, this is something special.

1. SaVe pluS reAr STAy MICrO-SuSPenSIOn SySTeM

An all new carbon lay-up and exaggerated vibration-absorbing tube shapes give the SaVe pluS chain stay/seat stay system 13% more vertical deflection than the previous version, while actually improving the frames lateral and torsional stiffness.

2. SaVe pluS MulTIfleX InTerCHAnGeble SeATPOST SySTeM

fine tune your ride-feel to match your weight, terrain or preference by choosing either the firm-flex or soft-flex version of the SaVe pluS seatpost shaft. The quick-change removable seatpost head allows you to switch back and forth between posts without having to remove and readjust the saddle each time. Compatible with 2009-2010 Synapse frames for owners who wish to upgrade.

3. SaVe pluS full CArbOn fOrk

The Synapse SaVe pluS full carbon fork is completely redesigned for 2012. Offset dropouts allow the fork blades to have the vertical compliance of a shallow rake fork, without sacrificing the Synapse’s nimble, precise handling. refined carbon lay-up and SaVe shaping further enhance the fork’s vertical compliance.

4. PerfOrMAnCe GeOMeTry

The proven geometry and positioning of our Synapse stays the same. Compared with our elite race geometry, the Synapse geometry features a taller head tube (2-2.5cm taller), gently sloping top tube, slightly relaxed head angle and longer wheelbase. This combination provides a more upright riding position and a lively, yet stable feel. It’s confidence-inspiring and relaxing but avoids the sluggish feel and awkward handling of many “comfort” road bikes.

lIfe CAn be HArSH. yOur rIde SHOuldn’T be.

It’s a harsh world out there but at least for your riding, the updated Synapse is as plush as plush gets. for 2012, we’ve improved on the award-winning Synapse Carbon by adding our new three point SaVe pluS Comfort System to its successful monocoque mainframe. Made up of redesigned rear stays, a new offset dropout fork and an interchangeable dual flex seatpost, the SaVe pluS system adds enormous vertical compliance and comfort, while retaining the light weight, torsional rigidity and lively ride-feel of the previous version. So whether you’re racing the cobbles of the Arenberg forest or simply enjoying a Gran fondo ride with friends, the 2012 Synapse brings unprecedented level of smooth to elite race performance.

While the proven geometry and positioning of our Synapse stays the same, the new Synapse is loaded with improved performance features.

not merely an aluminum copy of our Carbon Synapses, the Synapse alloy series features rack mounts, fender clearance, and long-reach brakes that expand its versatility without sacrificing its sporting soul.

Also available in our Womens line.


1. OPTIMIZed 6061 AllOy COnSTruCTIOn

An all new carbon lay-up and exaggerated vibration-absorbing tube shapes give the SaVe pluS chain stay/seat stay system 13% more vertical deflection than the previous version, while actually improving the frames lateral and torsional stiffness.

Cannondale’s legendary double-pass smooth welds join optimally shaped taper-butted tubes for a great combination of svelte light weight, stiffness and durability.

2. SAVe PluS reAr STAy MICrO-SuSPenSIOn SySTeM

by flattening and butting the chain stays and triaxially forming the seat stays, we create a rear stay assembly that allows significant deflection vertically to absorb road shock and vibration, while staying extremely rigid laterally for power transfer and confident cornering.

3. PerfOrMAnCe GeOMeTry

Compared with our elite race geometry, the Synapse geometry features a taller head tube (2-2.5cm taller), gently sloping top tube,

slightly relaxed head angle and longer wheelbase. This combination provides a more upright riding position and a lively, yet stable feel. It’s confidence inspiring and relaxing but avoids the sluggish feel and awkward handling of many “comfort” road bikes.

4. CArbOn blAded fOrk

Carbon fork blades with integrated SaVe features provide additional comfort and sharp handling.

5. BB30 SySTeM

found on both the 105 and Tiagra equipped models, BB30 is the epitome of . Cannondale invented BB30 10 years ago to take crank and frame performance to the next level and it has become THe industry standard for stiffness and light weight.

Super-triathlete, Chrissie Wellington has repeatedly said that the smooth ride and light weight of her Slice not only improved her bike splits, but left her feeling fresher for the run as well. She even went so far as to call it “the wind beneath her wings”.

A superb triathlon machine, the Slice is a formidable TT weapon as well as the liquigas boys proved at the 2010 Giro, powering their Slices to the Team Time Trial win and a Maglia rosa for Vincenzo nibali.

1. AerOdynAMIC

An ultra narrow frontal area and wind tunnel-proven tube shapes make the Slice one of the most aerodynamic frames ever tested by Tour magazine.

2. AerO SAVe MICrO-SuSPenSIOn SySTeM

Cannondale’s designers know that all the aerodynamics in the world aren’t worth a thing if you can’t maintain the aero position, or if the ride leaves you so beat up that you can’t put out your best on the run. At the heart of the Slice’s remarkable comfort is the aerO SaVe micro-suspension system. An elegant combination of directional tube shaping and extremely sophisticated carbon lay-up, the aerO SaVe system allows the rear chain stays and seat stays to deflect together vertically to absorb road shock, while staying extremely stiff laterally and torsionally.

3. STAble GeOMeTry

unlike the nervous, twitchy handling of some aero frames, the Slice’s geometry is designed to provide stable and confidence inspiring handling while in the aero position, allowing you to relax and focus on your ride.

4. TWO-POSITIOn SeATPOST

The two-position Slice seatpost offers a range of effective seat angle adjustment from 73-78 degrees for Triathlon or uCI legal time trial use.

5. BB30 SySTeM

Cannondale-developed BB30 technology allows riders to use the lightest and stiffest cranksets on the market. BB30 technology reduces Q-factor for a narrower frontal area and improved aerodynamics and also features ceramic bb bearings for reduced rolling resistance.

lAunCHed In 2011, THe Superx WAS eAGerly WelCOMed InTO THe ‘CrOSS SCene AS A bIke THAT GAVe All rIderS THAT eXTrA edGe.

Weighing in at 1400 grams for frame and fork, it’s the lightest, stiffest, smoothest ’cross frameset on the planet.


1. BalliSteC CArbOn

Our High-Strength, High-Impact carbon construction, Ballistec ends the traditional connection between ultra-light carbon frames and fragility. Over. Period. end of story.

ultra high-strength fibers developed for military ballistic armoring, and impact-resistant hot-melt resins are used as the primary structural materials of the frame while the stiffer but more brittle high-modulus carbon fibers are used strategically in protected locations to enhance stiffness. lighter and stiffer than aluminum, pound for pound stronger than steel, Ballistec carbon is perfect for the kind of abuse the ‘cross season dishes out.

2. SpeeD SaVe VIbrATIOn elIMInATIOn TeCHnOlOGy

The chain stays and seat stays on the Superx feature our trademark SpeeD SaVe technology. flattened cross-sections and sophisticated carbon layup allows the SpeeD SaVe features to act like a micro-suspension system, deflecting vertically to absorb trail shock and vibration, while staying extremely rigid laterally for power transfer and confident cornering.

3. COnTInuOuS CArbOn

uninterrupted stiffening fibers run the entire length of the top tube and seat stays, distributing loads more evenly throughout the frame.

4. tuBe2tuBe COnSTruCTIOn

When it comes to minimizing weight and maximizing stiffness, our tube2tube construction simply can’t be beat. each tube is individually laid up, orienting the unidirectional fibers precisely to resist the tube-specific loads, then the tubes are joined and overwrapped following an equally precise layup schedule. Time consuming, demanding and expensive, this process yields the lightest, stiffest and strongest results.

5. SHAPe-OPTIMIZed TubInG

Stripped down to its bare essentials, each tube represents the maxim of “form follows function”: oversized 53mm round down tube for maximum torsional rigidity and ovalized delta seat tube for maximum bb area stiffness. The straight tubing on the Superx shaves the most weight possible by enabling the carbon fibers to pull absolutely straight, which increases the performance of the fiber.

6. flAT CrOSS-SeCTIOn TOP Tube

The top tube is horizontally ovalized for lateral rigidity and maximum shouldering comfort.

7. TAPered HeAd Tube

The tapered, oversized head tube houses a 1-1/8” to 1-1/4” tapered carbon steerer fork for the best blend of lateral and torsional rigidity and light weight.

Take this baby off the beaten path, turbo charge your commute or jump in at a local ‘cross race, you’ll never wipe the smile off your face. A supremely versatile bike for training, commuting or adventuring, the CaaDx cyclocross bike is the perfect choice.

Hourglass seat stays, asymmetric chain stays, taper-butted and optimized tubes and our classic double-pass smooth welds all speak to the CaaDx’s race-bred heritage, while rack and fender mounts and a slightly more upright position expand its usability.


1. relAXed rACe GeOMeTry

The CaaDx has a slightly taller head tube and slightly slacker head tube angle than the Superx, providing a more upright position and stable handling.

2. SMOOTH WeldS

A true smooth weld, rather than the sand, putty, and paint “smooth welds” of our competition. Cannondale’s trademark double-pass smooth weld technology eliminates the stress-risers and weak points found on traditionally-welded frames, enabling us to build lighter, stronger frames.

3. HOurGlASS SeAT STAyS

The hourglass shape of the seat stays offers significant vertical compliance for comfort and control over rough surfaces, while remaining laterally rigid for solid power transfer and confident handling.


Just like on our premium race bikes, we oversize and reshape the driveside chain stay to better handle the loads from the drivetrain, while keeping the non-drive stay svelte for weight savings.

A technique Cannondale has used for years, excess material is precisely machined out of the low stress areas of the head tube, saving significant weight with no loss of strength.

6. TAPer-buTTed TubeS

like the legendary CaaD frames of the past, the CaaDx features 6061 aluminum which has been taper-butted and heat-treated to a T6 hardness. The smooth transitions provided by taper-butting eliminate the internal stress risers of traditionally-butted frames, again allowing a lighter, stronger frame.

rear shok teChnology highlights

1. DyaD rt2 shoCk

the DYAD is the first shock that provides two completely different shock options in one package –Elevate and Flow. each mode has its own air spring volume, each with its own completely separate damping circuits. it is fundamentally like having two different shocks available to you at the flick of a switch.

in the 180mm Flow setting, the shock’s l.a.s. (linear airspring technology) provides a spring rate that is virtually identical to a coil spring and mates it with speed sensitive damping circuits tuned for maximum descending performance. in the 110mm Elevate setting, the air spring volume is reduced, providing a firm, progressive spring rate, mated to damping circuits optimized for trail riding and climbing performance.

2. attituDe aDJust

it’s pretty obvious that attacking steep climbs requires a different attitude than charging aggressive descents, but “attitude” is

also an aircraft term that refers to the angle of a craft relative to the horizon. the Claymore offers riders two ways to adjust their “attitude”. First, the two-position shock mount allows the base geometry to be adjusted to suit the terrain and riding style. then switching between the DYAD shock’s two settings radically alters the Claymore’s geometry: low and stable for flowing descents, steep and forward for efficient climbing.

3. two Position shoCk mount

the Claymore’s versatility starts with two shock mounting options. Changing between the two positions changes your BB height by 1.2cm and your head angle by a full degree. Choose the geometry that best suits your terrain and riding style, and let the DYAD’s dual nature do the rest.

4. eCs-tC (enhanCeD Center stiFFness-torsion Control) system

the ECS-TC system is the key to the the Claymore’s rock solid feel and ultra precise handling. the shock linkage and swingarm pivot use 15mm thru-axles which are clamped on both sides, effectively tying the two sides together and dramatically increasing the system stiffness. wide bearing placement, double bearings at rear dropouts and a unique linkage-bearing preload system eliminates freeplay in the rear suspension, improving center-stiffness and enhancing control.

5. Pull shoCk Design

the pull shock design of the Claymore places the shock’s mass just above the BB keeping the bike’s center of gravity low and centered and making the bike both extremely stable and supremely flickable. it also equalizes forces and concentrates stresses in the super strong BB node.

the 180mm/110mm Dual travel Claymore, Part oF CannonDale’s overmountain staBle oF Bikes, has BlazeD a whole new Category oF Bike. now you Don’t have to Choose Between the Fun oF a Big, long travel Bike on the DesCents or the eFFiCienCy oF shorter travel trail Bike everywhere else. Claymore oFFers Both in one PaCkage.

OverMountain riders like mark weir, Jerome Clementz, Chris van Dine and aaron Chase know that the Claymore brings unprecedented versatility and rideability to the Big mountain category. out on the trail, the ECS-TC system eliminates flex and play for ultra-precise control, while a handlebar lever allows them to switch between the DYAD shock’s two modes: Elevate - a lower volume, more cross-country oriented air shock for rolling and climbing terrain, and Flow - a high volume, linear air shock for aggressive descents. switching between the modes also alters the bike’s geometry, keeping them in the proper position for the terrain. it’s literally like being able to change bikes from trail to Dh at the flip of a switch.

Claymore. adjust your attitude.

aCCorDing to the eDitors:

“amazingly enough, everything that Cannondale say about the new overmountain line is pretty much dead on, they have redefined all mountain. these bikes seem so ahead of anything out there right now it’s hard to believe.”

6. CannonDale smartFormeD aluminum

Cannondale’s trademark double-pass smooth welds, and SmartFormed, septuple- butted, heat-treated 6069 series aluminum. the down tube alone has seven different wall thicknesses, created by butting the tube along its length, then mechanically shaping the tube, then hydro-forming it into the final shape. incredibly labor intensive and difficult, it shows Cannondale’s continued mastery of the aluminum arts.

7. Box seCtion ConstruCtion

to maximize strength and stiffness while reducing weight in crucial high-load areas, the BB node, shock link and seat stay bridge are hollow, box-section construction. the two halves of each piece are forged, precision-machined, welded together and heat- treated, forming extremely stiff, strong and light structures. Difficult, costly, and time consuming, it is details like these that make the Claymore truly exceptional.

8. x-12 thru axle

another example of our System integration philosophy, the x-12 thru axle and dropout system provides the stiffness of a 12mm thru axle with the quick wheel changes and ease of use of a quick-release wheel. Compatible with both 142mm and 135mm thru-axle wheels.

9. uninterruPteD seat tuBe

Forget interrupted seat tube designs; a full seat tube provides the maximum possible structural strength and allows for full seatpost height adjustment.

10. Clashnikov toP tuBe

the Clashnikov top tube, with its distinctive vertically tapered seat tube yoke and massive diameter at the head tube delivers tremendous stiffness and strength to the top tube/seat tube and top tube/head tube junctions, while its ultra low standover height permits maximum maneuverability.

11. DiaBlo si heaD tuBe

sometimes bigger really is better. the 66.6mm outer diameter of the head tube provides exceptional stiffness for precise handling and burly, confidence-inspiring strength. headset cups are eliminated saving weight. the 1.5” steerers are significantly lighter, stiffer and stronger than tapered steerers.

mountain

one Bike. two Personalities. Both kiCk ass.

the 150mm/90mm dual travel Jekyll is another in our stable of go-anywhere, ride-anything, two-bikes-in-one overmountain superbikes. Built around radical new shock technology, Jekyll essentially delivers two different bikes in one. Climb like you’re on an xC bike, descend like you’re on a big mountain rig; the Jekyll breaks the rules for long travel trail bikes.

the ECS-TC system eliminates play and flex for instantaneous response and control, while a handlebar lever lets you switch between a lower volume, cross country air shock for rolling and climbing terrain, and a high volume, linear air shock for aggressive descents. switching between the modes also alters the bike’s geometry, appropriately changing the handling and keeping the rider in the proper position for the terrain.

Cutting edge carbon technology creates a lightweight and nearly indestructible frame while sophisticated kinematics and linkage design maximize center-stiffness and optimize suspension performance. no other bike on the market can deliver such no- compromise performance across the whole range of mountain terrain. in fact, the Jekyll is so competent that mark weir has ridden the same bike to podium finishes in downhill events like urge Cabo verde and a top ten Pro cross-country finish at the napa Dirt Classic.

Jekyll. adjust your attitude.

Jekyll CarBon / Jekyll alloy attituDe. aDJust.

aCCorDing to the eDitors:

2010 winner editor’s Choice award–Outside Magazine, USA

“might just be the ultimate mountain bike.” –Bike, USA 1/11

“this bike changes the trail riding experience and takes mountain biking to a whole new extreme” “there’s truly no other bike that can compete against the Jekyll ultimate.”–Bicycling, USA 5/11

the new DYAD is the first shock that provides two completely different shock options in one package –Elevate and Flow. each mode has its own air spring volume, each with its own completely separate damping circuits. it is fundamentally like having two different shocks available to you at the flick of a switch.

in the 150mm Flow setting, the shock’s linear airspring technology (l.a.s.) provides a spring rate that is virtually identical to a coil spring and mates it with speed sensitive damping circuits tuned for maximum descending performance. in the 90mm Elevate setting, the air spring volume is reduced, providing a firm, progressive spring rate, mated to damping circuits optimized for trail riding and climbing performance.

teChnology highlights

2. attituDe aDJust

switching between the DYAD shock’s FLOW and ELEVATE settings radically alters the Jekyll’s geometry and “attitude”: low and stable for flowing descents or steep and forward for efficient climbing. the DYAD’s Elevate setting reduces the sag point and raises the BB, making the steering angle steeper and keeping the rider in a more efficient position. this counteracts the tendency of normal long-travel shocks to compress deeper into their sag as the terrain points up, forcing the rider to forward to keep the front wheel weighted.


the ECS-TC System is the key to the the Jekyll’s rock solid feel and ultra precise handling. the shock linkage and swingarm pivot use 15mm thru-axles which are clamped on both sides, effectively tying the two sides together and dramatically increasing the system stiffness. wide bearing placement, double bearings at rear dropouts and a unique linkage-bearing preload system eliminates freeplay in the rear suspension, improving center-stiffness and enhancing control.

4. BALLISTEC CarBon

high-strength fibers developed by the military for ballistic armoring, and impact-resistant hot-melt resins are used as the primary structural materials of the frame, while high-modulus carbon fibers are used to strategically enhance stiffness. lighter and stiffer than aluminum, stronger and more durable than steel, BallisTec carbon can shake off rock strikes and impacts that would cripple the competition and their carbon “shields”.


11

5. exPanDaBle Core teChnology (eCt)

Carbon fiber construction gets its strength and stiffness from the precise orientation of the fibers in a structure. instead of the flexible bladder used in traditional “balloon-in- a-mold” methods, our ECT method of carbon construction uses a special process to hold the fiber strips perfectly in place during molding. this process eliminates carbon “drift” during molding yielding greater strength, less weight and greater reliability.

(The alloy versions use SmartFormed, septuple-butted, heat-treated 6000 series aluminum. The down tube alone has seven different wall thicknesses, created by butting the tube along its length, then mechanically shaping the tube, then hydro- forming it into the final shape. Labor intensive and difficult, it shows Cannondale’s continued mastery of the aluminum arts.)

6. Co-molDeD aluminum BB noDe

to maximize strength in the crucial, high-load BB/shock mount area we co-mold a high-strength, high-precision, heat-treated CnC’d aluminum BB node into the frame. we pioneered co-molding technology with our Six13 and Scalpel carbon/aluminum frames and have evolved it over the years to bring it to this point. high-strength, non- conductive structural fibers at critical joint areas eliminate any chance of galvanic corrosion and structural degradation. the bond formed between the carbon and the aluminum is actually stronger than the bond of carbon to itself.

7. Pull-shoCk Design

the pull-shock design of the Jekyll places the shock’s mass just above the BB keeping the bikes center of gravity low and centered and making the bike both extremely stable and supremely flickable. it also equalizes forces and concentrates stresses in the super strong BB node.

8. x-12 thru axle

another example of our System integration philosophy, the x-12 thru axle and dropout system provides the stiffness of a 12mm thru axle with the quick wheel changes and ease of use of a quick-release wheel. Compatible with both 142mm and 135mm thru-axle wheels.

““the rz one twenty... all-round ability brings a constant smile to any ride”–Bikeradar, UK 5/10


1. stageD travel

specifically customized shocks are paired with a precisely engineered swing link to deliver 120mm of staged travel – plush in the early part of the stroke, more linear through the middle for efficient pedaling and smooth action, and firm at the end to prevent bottoming.

2. size-sPeCiFiC linkage

suspension is a tricky thing. subtle changes can have a big impact on the system’s performance. so rather than simply repositioning our shock mounts lower to gain the standover needed on smaller frames, we created an entirely different linkage so that the smaller frames maintain the leverage ratios and shock performance of the larger frames.

3. oPi BaCkBone

with Cannondale’s one Piece integration approach, we create lighter, stiffer, stronger parts by combining multiple pieces into a single unit. on the RZ’s BackBone, the seat tube, BB shell and swingarm pivot are 3D forged as a single piece, eliminating excess material and heat affected zones, and providing uniform grain alignment throughout for exceptional strength in this crucial area.

4. suPerB hanDling

the RZ’s geometry splits the difference between our more aggressive Jekyll and racy Scalpel. Quick enough for technical trail riding, stable enough to keep you out of trouble when dropping that sketchy section at the end of an all day epic.

5. CannonDale smartFormeD aluminum ConstruCtion

whether it’s our trademark double pass smooth welds or the sophisticated butting and shaping of the tubes, the RZ One Twenty is a showcase of Cannondale’s years of aluminum mastery.

6. 1.5” si heaD tuBe

our ultra strong 1.5” si head tube features integrated bearings, eliminating the weight of headset cups and allowing full System integration with the unbeatable lefty or standard 1.5” steerer forks. 1.5” steerers are lighter, stiffer and stronger than tapered steerers.

7. BB30 system

the soul of System integration, the Cannondale-pioneered BB30 standard is found on all RZ One Twenties.

8. DowntuBe waterBottle on all sizes

uncluttered and open front triangle design leaves room for a water bottle within hands reach on all sizes.

suPer light

at just 1580 g (3.47 lbs) for a complete, painted frame (with shock!) the new Scalpel doesn’t just beat the competition in the weight wars, it obliterates them. nothing else is even close.

suPer stiFF

of course, being the lightest means nothing if stiffness or durability is sacrificed so, in addition to being over 3⁄4 of a lb lighter than its predecessor, Scalpel also outperforms in the stiffness department, posting some of the best stiffness numbers ever recorded in tour magazine’s independent third-party tests.

suPer sPeC’

add in the System integration of our ultra-light lefty fork, OPI Stem/ steerer, and BB30 Hollowgram SL crankset, and you have a package that is so much lighter, so much stiffer and so much more efficient than our competitors, it’s not just in a class by itself, it’s attending an entirely different school.


1. zero Pivot

the heart of the Scalpel design is the Zero Pivot rear stay system. no bearings, no bushings, nothing to add weight or cause play, just

chain stays and seat stays engineered to flex along a given path, providing 80mm of plush, progressive travel. through sophisticated carbon layup, the stays are designed to flex vertically, while remaining extremely stiff laterally and torsionally.

2. BALLISTEC CarBon

Cannondale’s, high-strength, high-impact carbon. ultra high-strength fibers developed for military ballistic armoring and impact-resistant hot-melt resins are used as the primary structural materials of the frame, while high-modulus carbon fibers are used strategically to enhance stiffness. lighter and stiffer than aluminum, pound for pound sronger than steel, BallisTec carbon can shake off rock strikes and impacts that would destroy Scalpel’s lightweight competition.

3. TUBE2TUBE ConstruCtion

each tube is individually laid up, orienting the unidirectional fibers precisely to resist the tube-specific loads, then the tubes are joined and overwrapped following an equally precise layup schedule. time consuming, demanding and expensive, this process yields the lightest, stiffest and strongest results.

4. one-PieCe stay assemBlies

to maximize strength and consistency at the crucial BB/chainstay junction, both chainstays and the entire BB shell are molded as one piece. the seatstay/upper bridge assembly is also molded as a single piece. lighter, stiffer and stronger.

5. BB30

the soul of System integration, Cannondale invented the BB30 standard 10 years ago to take crank and frame performance to the next level. our hollowgram sl crankset remains the lightest, stiffest production crankset on the market.

6. oversizeD Down tuBe

the massive 60mm diameter down tube provides a rock solid base for power transfer and stable handling.

harDtail

the CannonDale Flash: 950 grams oF CarBon. tons oF innovation.

a carbon hardtail that’s lighter than most elite carbon road bikes.

an ultralight carbon frame that’s tougher than most aluminum moun-tain bike frames.

a frame that breaks the mythical 100 nm/deg/kg stiffness-to-weight barrier.

a stiff carbon hardtail that delivers more vertical compliance than the softest titanium frames.

the Flash combines radical technologies with innovative engineering to deliver a product that simply turns conventional thinking on its head. an ultra light frame that’s also durable? an ultra stiff and efficient frame that’s also supple and comfortable? traditional thinking says that to excel in one area, you must sacrifice in another. Cannondale thinking tells traditional thinking to stuff it.

one of the world’s lightest mountain frames, at just 950 g*, the Flash Carbon has the world’s best stiffness-to-weight ratio** of 103 nm/deg/kilogram. add the sPeeD save vertical compliance system, Ballistec high-impact carbon fiber technology, lefty and BB30 system integration and Flash becomes the absolute pinnacle in carbon hardtail amazingness. look no further. Flash.

1. BallisteC CarBon

with our high-strength, high-impact carbon construction, Ballistec ends the traditional connection between ultra-light carbon frames and fragility. over. Period. end of story.

ultra high-strength fibers, developed for military ballistic armoring, and impact-resistant hot-melt resins are used as the primary struc-tural materials of the frame while the stiffer but more brittle high-modulus carbon fibers are used strategically in protected locations to enhance stiffness. lighter and stiffer than aluminum, pound for pound stronger than steel, Ballistec carbon can shake off rock strikes and impacts that would cripple the competition and their carbon “shields”.

2. tuBe2tuBe ConstruCtion

when it comes to minimizing weight and maximizing stiffness, our tube2tube construction simply can’t be beat. each tube is individu-ally laid up, orienting the unidirectional fibers precisely to resist the tube-specific loads, then the tubes are joined and overwrapped follow-ing an equally precise lay-up schedule. time consuming, demanding and expensive, this process yields the lightest, stiffest and strongest results.

stripped down to its bare essentials, each tube represents the maxim of “form follows function”: oversized 53mm round down tube for maximum torsional rigidity, horizontally oversized top tube for lateral rigidity and ovalized Delta seat tube for maximum BB area stiffness. the straight tubing on the Flash shaves the most weight possible by enabling the carbon fibers to pull absolutely straight, which increases the performance of the fibers.

5. sPeeD save viBration elimination teChnology

the chain stays, seat stays and seatpost on the Flash all feature our trademark sPeeD save technology. Flattened cross-sections and sophisticated carbon layup allows the sPeeD save features to act like a micro-suspension system, deflecting vertically to absorb trail shock and vibration, while staying extremely rigid laterally for power transfer and confident cornering.

6. oPtimizeD harDPoints

Flash uses postmount disc brake mounts to save the weight of the adapter and reduce the system weight of the complete bike. our alloy dropouts and disc mounts are lighter and stiffer than most carbon dropouts, but still have the capability of dissipating heat from the disc brake mounts during race-like conditions. weight saving direct-mount front derailleur point is compatible for shimano and sram.

29’er BasiCsmountain

rotational momentum:

Die-hard 29’er aficionados are right when they say that the design inherently conserves rider energy. 29’er wheels have slightly more mass than 26-inch wheels, due to longer spokes, larger tires and bigger rim circumference, and once those wheels are in motion, momentum from rotational mass can carry riders through tough sections that would stop a 26-inch wheeled bike. net effect? riders conserve energy and ride faster. while it does take slightly more energy to spool up larger wheels, once they are at speed it takes a lot more to slow ‘em down, too. the bottom line is that many riders use smaller energy inputs to keep that 29’er rolling like a freight train. at the end of the trail, at the end of the ride, you’ll feel the difference.

ANGLE OF ATTACK:

simply put, riders on 29’ers can clear sections of trail that have given them fits in the past on little-wheel bikes. why? the tire’s approach angle is lessened on a 29’er for better rollover and float. the larger wheel approaches obstacles on the trail – rocks, roots, ruts, whatever – with a shallower angle. that shallow angle lets the wheel roll right over obstacles that would slow down a smaller wheel. the result is less jarring, less fatigue and less likelihood of going over the bars. instead, riders get that characteristic ‘float’ that 29’er converts rave about.

Better traCtion:

a bigger contact patch with the trail means better control, better traction, and better braking. it provides sure-footed confidence in any situation. Climb like a diesel, turn like an F1, and handle everything else on the trail like a rally car.

BB PlaCement:

when it comes to BB placement, Cannondale 29’ers are really pretty ideal. Because of the bigger wheels, the BB sits slightly higher than on a 26-inch bike, giving better stump-clearing performance. But a 29’er BB has significantly more “drop” than a 26’er, meaning that the BB sits much lower relative to the axles, providing super stable but agile handling that allows riders to maintain maximum speed with complete control and complete confidence.

a higher BB allows riders to clear tough obstacles better, such as a tree down across the trail. a lower BB gives confidence-inspiring stability. on Cannondale’s 29ers, you get the best of both.

it’s true: they Do.

BeCause even iF 29’er riDers aren’t aBle to artiCulate it, they know one thing For Certain: 29’ers have the laws oF PhysiCs on their siDe. there are several reasons For this:

the all new SCALPEL 29’ER. 100mm oF suPer-light, roCk ‘n rollin’ Big wheel gooDness.

ever since we built our first 29’er hardtail, Cannondale fans around the world have been clamoring for us to build a full suspension version. easy, right? the simple path would have been to just take one of our existing designs and stretch it to accept those big 29’er hoops but, we’re Cannondale. it’s not about the easy path. it’s about the right path. if we are going to build a 29’er dual-susser, we are going to do it right. to create this sweet new ride, we started with the proverbial clean sheet of paper. we then took elements from our Flash 29’er, Scalpel, RZ, and overmountain bikes. we tweaked, massaged and mixed them into an entirely new, ground-up 29’er-specific chassis designed to address the three biggest issues that plague most 29’ers:

Weight.

Stiffness.

Handling.

Weight? Check. at just 1850 grams, the new Scalpel 29er is the lightest 29’er dual suspension frame on the market by a big margin. Combine that with the weight savings possible with the System integration of the lefty fork, oPi stem and Hollowgram SL cranks and you’ve got a package that will have most 26” bikes wishing they could cut back on the cheesecake.

Stiffness? oh yes. BallisTec Carbon construction and eCs-tC stiffness-enhancing features borrowed from our OverMountain bikes ensure that the snappy feel and immediate power delivery of the 26” Scalpel continues in its 29” namesake.

Handling? something we’re particularly proud of. through performance-driven engineering, the Scalpel 29’er has geometry and trail manners that mimic the stable, but nimble feel of our Flash Carbon hardtails, not an easy task when you’re adding 100mm of travel.

this new 29” trail rocket shares Dna, technology, ride feel, and a name with bikes that have come before it, but in the end, the Scalpel 29’er stands alone. rock on.

teChnology highlights:

1. suPerlightweight Design.

no hypens needed. no footnotes. no caveats. the Scalpel 29’er frame weighs 1850g without shock, undercutting our competitor’s bare frame weights by more than 200 grams. it’s the lightest in the world, bar-none: 29-inch wheels. 100mm of suspension, front and rear. advanced carbon frame construction. only from Cannondale.

2. zero-Pivot seatstays

the Scalpel 29’er borrows liberally from the time- and race-tested design of the original Scalpel, placing ultra-lightweight zero-Pivot technology into the seatstays. through precise use of fiber orientation and sophisticated carbon layup, the stays are designed to flex vertically, while remaining extremely stiff laterally and torsionally for premium power delivery. (alloy versions receive the eCs-tC doubled bearings, like the Jekyll, in the dropout pivots in place of zero-pivot flexing stays.)

3. C-sPan seat stay BriDge

the seat stays of the Scalpel 29’er are connected to each other by a beefy, bolt-on bridge, which also acts as the axle clamp for the oversized shock link thru-axle. this ties the two stays together and drastically reduces flex. the resulting seat stay and link stiffness is one of the key factors in the Scalpel 29er’s rock-solid feel.

4. shorter si heaD tuBe

a shorter version of Cannondale’s trademark si head tube provides better standover clearance with the big wheels. a new spacer system ensures seamless compatibility with the lefty forks.

5. 100mm leFty 29’er

most of the models come with a new 100mm travel lefty that has been optimized for use with 29’ers. in either carbon or oPi alloy structure, with xlr or PBr dampers, the lefty’s unmatched stiffness, smoothness and light weight make it a perfect front end for a 29’er.

6. suPer short Chainstays

the Scalpel 29’er has the shortest chainstays we’ve ever seen on a dual suspension ‘niner. this gives you nimbler handling, better rear-wheel tracking, point-and-shoot predictability and untouchable climbing performance. in the terms of our engineers: less radial bend, fewer torsional forces, and lights-out power delivery. Bam! if you feel good on a Flash, you’ll love the new Scalpel.


incorporating elements of overmountain’s eCs-tC system, the Scalpel 29’er uses 15mm thru axles that are clamped on both sides, effectively tying the two sides together and dramatically increasing the system stiffness. the alloy version gets the doubled bearings at the rear dropout as well. these combine with the incredibly light but beefy shock link to improve center-stiffness and enhance control.

8. x-12 rear axle system

the Scalpel 29’er uses the x-12 system for better, play-free clamping in both axial and radial directions during serious descents. you get the stiffness of a 12mm thru axle with the quick wheel changes and ease of use of a quick-release wheel. For those with xC stablemates in their riding quiver, the x-12 system is convertible to 135mm spacing for uniformity among cross-country rigs.

9. tire ClearanCe an offset seat tube gives capacity for tires up to 2.3 inches wide – perfect for hard-charging riders who demand the extra flotation and mud-shedding capacity of high-volume tires.

10. one-PieCe seat tuBe anD BB noDe with BulkheaD reinForCement

ships use bulkheads. aircraft use bulkheads. Cannondale uses bulkheads. why? Because for nominal weight they significantly improve strength and structural integrity. on the Scalpel 29’er, the down tube lug is closed at the end, forming a bulkhead that acts as a stiffening rib at the down tube / BB junction. the one-piece BB node plus BBulkhead achieves the ultimate in strength and power delivery.

11. BALLISTEC CARBON

high-strength, high-impact carbon construction. ultra high-strength fibers developed by the Japanese military for ballistic armoring, and impact-resistant hot-melt resins are used as the primary structural materials of the frame, while high-modulus carbon fibers are used to strategically enhance stiffness. lighter and stiffer than aluminum, pound for pound stronger than steel, BallisTec carbon can shake off rock strikes and impacts that would cripple the competition and their carbon “shields”.

12. PressFit, Full-CarBon BB30

riders with explosive power delivery can have their efforts sapped by too much flex in the bottom bracket. Cannondale’s oversized, press-fit BB30 and full-carbon BB shell construction guarantees not a calorie of energy is wasted when leading the field. Charge on.

Flash 29’er CarBon


1. BALLISTEC CarBon

our high-strength, high-impact carbon construction, BallisTec ends the traditional connection between ultra-light carbon frames and fragility. over. Period. end of story.

ultra high-strength fibers, developed for military ballistic armoring, and impact-resistant hot-melt resins are used as the primary structural materials of the frame while the stiffer but more brittle high-modulus carbon fibers are used strategically in protected locations to enhance stiffness. lighter and stiffer than aluminum, pound for pound stronger than steel, BallisTec carbon can shake off rock strikes and impacts that would cripple the competition and their carbon “shields”.

2. TUBE2TUBE ConstruCtion

when it comes to minimizing weight and maximizing stiffness, our Tube2Tube construction simply can’t be beat. each tube is individually laid up, orienting the unidirectional fibers precisely to resist the tube-specific loads, then the tubes are joined and overwrapped following an equally precise layup schedule. time consuming, demanding and expensive, this process yields the lightest, stiffest and strongest results.

3. Continuous CarBon


4. shaPe-oPtimizeD tuBing

stripped down to its bare essentials, each tube represents the maxim of “form follows function”: oversized 53mm round down tube for maximum torsional rigidity, horizontally oversized top tube for lateral rigidity and ovalized Delta seat tube for maximum BB area stiffness. the straight tubing on the Flash shaves the most weight possible by enabling the carbon fibers to pull absolutely straight, which increases the performance of the fiber.

no longer ConFineD to the Fringes oF the mountain Bike worlD, 29’ers are BeComing the norm, as likely now to turn uP at a worlD ChamPionshiP xC as they are unDerneath a long haul trail riDer. the Beauty is that the BeneFits are the same For all riDers: 29” wheels love to roll. anD roll. over everything.

roots, rocks, washboards, ruts, you name it. 29” wheels roll right over things that would stop a 26” wheel cold. the extra few inches of diameter make a bigger difference than you’d expect, helping you float over obstacles, increasing the bike’s stability, improving traction and braking, and offering a surprisingly comfortable ride. and because the bike rolls and floats, you conserve energy.

the way the wheels maintain momentum is simply amazing. you can charge through sections that you tip-toe through on little-wheel bikes, eat up rolling terrain and climb steep, loose stuff like a turbo diesel. the benefits of our exceptional lefty forks are amplified when used with 29’er wheels. lefty’s exceptional stiffness and light weight improve performance noticeably compared to other 29’er forks.

Complimenting our new full suspension Scalpel 29’er is our stable of 29’er hardtails:

the Flash Carbon is hands-down the lightest, stiffest and smoothest riding 29’er hardtail frame ever made. if you are looking for the ultimate 29’er race bike, look no further.

Flash Carbon and Flash Alloy 29’ers have a race-oriented geometry with short chainstays, a lower BB, and steeper head angles, designed to replicate the sharp handling, liveliness and incredible power delivery of their 26” wheeled counterparts.

the Trail SL 29’ers have a slightly longer wheelbase and slacker head angles for a stable, confidence-inspiring ride

the chain stays, seat stays and seatpost on the Flash all feature our trademark SPEED SAVE technology. Flattened cross-sections and sophisticated carbon layup allows the SPEED SAVE features to act like a micro-suspension system, deflecting vertically to absorb trail shock and vibration, while staying extremely rigid laterally for power transfer and confident cornering.

6. oPtimizeD harDPoints

Flash uses postmount disc brake mounts to save the weight of the adapter and reduce the system weight of the complete bike. our alloy dropouts and disc mounts are lighter and stiffer than most carbon dropouts, but still have the capability of dissipating heat from the disc brake mounts during race-like conditions. weight saving direct-mount front derailleur point is compatible for shimano and sram.

7. SYSTEM INTEGRATION

the Flash is designed around 2x10 drivetrains, ultralight Lefty forks and BB30 hollowgram sl cranks for the lowest possible overall system weight and highest possible performance.

Quick iS A fASt And nimble flAt bAr bike with PerformAnCe AS SnAPPy AS itS lookS And hAndlinG AS SuAve AS itS tube ShAPeS. PACked with multiPle PerformAnCe And Comfort feAtureS like SAve vibrAtion dAmPinG And CArbon blAded forkS, the Quick iS reAdy for ACtion. whether SPeedinG down the weSt Side bike PAth or CruiSinG A weSt CoASt ChArity ride, Quick GetS it done with Style And fineSSe.

teChnoloGy hiGhliGhtS

1. flAt bArS rule

Quick proves that freedom, style and performance aren’t mutually exclusive concepts. the Quick offers great handling and upright comfort without sacrificing great looks and ride-all-day performance.

2. CArbon or Alloy

Quick comes in a choice of frame materials: cannondale’s proprietary carbon layup delivers light weight performance and tube shaping and styling for design savvy speedsters everywhere. the alloy versions, the Quick SL and Quick showcase our almost 30 years of aluminum craftsmanship.

3. SuPer liGht weiGht

At just 1350 grams, the Quick carbon’s frame rivals many high-end race bikes. this light weight makes the bike nimble, and responsive handling while SAVE vibration damping features ensure comfort and predictable handling on rough city streets.

4. Quick SL vs Quick

the Quick SL features an integrated seat binder which blends seamlessly into the top tube for a clean look. the Sl’s refined

butting and stylish hydroformed tube shapes shave nearly 200 grams off the standard Quick frame.

5. SAVE rear stays

optimized chain stay and seat stays shaping provides lateral rigidity while providing vertical compliance for bump absorption and comfort with no loss in power transfer.

6. Smooth weldS

Alloy models feature true smooth welds, rather than the sand, putty, and paint “smooth welds” of our competition. cannondale’s trademark double-pass smooth weld technology eliminates the stress-risers and weak points found on traditionally welded frames, enabling us to build lighter, stronger frames.

7. BB30 system on carbon models

designed by cannondale 10 years ago, the ultra lightweight, ultra stiff BB30 bottom bracket system has become an industry standard for power transfer, light weight and performance.

8. CArbon blAded forkS

Carbon bladed forks on most models maximize weight saving while providing vibration damping to take the edge off city riding.

9. rACk And fender reAdy

Quick Alloy models are rack and fender ready for the challenges and demands of city riding.

ACCordinG to the editorS:

“the Quick carbon’s frame is more than just a carbon-tubed bike. it’s heavily shaped with aero influences, internal cable routing and stealth bomber angles. in person, it’s really sharp, and does indeed feel like it weighs under 20lbs like they claimed.”–Bikerumor.com, USA 3/11

“yes, it’s rare that the word cool and hybrid are used in the same sentence, but the Quick 4 is exactly that, a sporty, cool hybrid you’ll be proud to show-off.” –Bicycle Buyer, UK Spring/Summer 11

“Cannondale sees the commuting sector as a place to weave in the company’s performance technology heritage.”–Bikeradar.com, UK 3/11

tAndem riderS hAve A little SeCret they’ve been keePinG from everyone: CombininG two wheelS And four leGS iS PoSSibly the moSt fun Anyone CAn hAve (on A bike).

not only does it allow two people of differing abilities to ride together, but it channels the power of two riders into one effort producing more speed, more thrills and definitely more enjoyment.

designing a great tandem frame, though, can be a challenge: a long wheelbase structure has to resist the phenomenal amount of torque and lateral forces produced by two riders pedaling in sync.

recognised industry-wide as the standard in tandems, we only make one model and we make it without compromise. it’s the lightest, most laterally and torsionally rigid tandem on the market. it’s designed and made that way because we want the stoker and captain to be able to get out of the saddle confidently knowing that there’ll be no squirrelly flex; we want them to be able to bomb the descents with responsive handling and sure-footed tracking; and we want effort to equal speed and performance. what you put in is what you get back and more with nothing lost along the way.


1. the liGhteSt, moSt riGid tAndem on the mArket

unmatched aluminum crafting and frame rigidity produces the lightest, most laterally stiff and torsionally rigid tandem frame on the market. what else would you expect from the company that pioneered performance aluminum?

2. oPtimized CoCkPitS

taller head tube and shorter top tube give the captain better control and more comfort while the stoker gets increased stand over clearance.

3. reCtAnGulAr boom tube

At the heart of the frame is a box section boom tube, super stiff for no flex or loss of power transfer.

4. POwERPyRAMiD down tube

A crafted down tube places material where it’s needed while shaving it from where it’s not: smaller diameter with thicker wall at the head tube and larger diameter to allow thinner wall at the bottom bracket area, the PowerPyramid saves weight while increasing torsional rigidity at the power points.

5. overSized ChAin StAyS And droPoutS

while the box section boom tube is the heart of this frame, it’s nothing if we don’t also extend our thinking all the way to the rear wheel with massively oversized chain stays and dropouts to carry drive loads more efficiently.

6. oPtimized 6061 Aluminum

drawing on our 30 years of aluminum construction experience, the tandem features sophisticated 6061 aluminum tubing heat-treated to a t6 hardness for durability and increased rigidity.

7. Smooth weldS

A true smooth weld, rather than the sand, putty, and paint “smooth welds” of our competition, cannondale’s trademark double-pass smooth weld technology eliminates the stress-risers and weak points found on traditionally welded frames, enabling us to build lighter, stronger frames.

8. brAke oPtionS

Si disc brake mount with optional v-brake mount studs on seat stays.

front wheel on Solo fork models mounts directly to the fork with a 5mm bolt. Super secure for riding it also gives additional peace of mind when leaving your bike locked up.

4. rider tAilored Geometry

our engineers and product managers spend a lot of time making sure that a bike’s given geometry is perfectly suited to the intended user. Bad Boy, not surprisingly, has some attitude in its more-aggressive-than-most urban geometry. Closer in ride feel to a mountain bike with a quick responsiveness, Bad Boy still gives good rider visibility in traffic.

SuperSix wOmEnS IS OuR SALuTE TO ELITE wOmEn RACERS EvERywHERE, OuR wAy Of gIvIng ProPS to thoSe who flew the flAG for uS in the PASt. it’S our wAy of reCoGnizinG the PhenomenAl thinGS women CAn do when Given the riGht toolS for the job.

So with our SuperSix womens, we’re stepping up to the plate and providing women cyclists with the high performance, super lightweight, properly fitting, ass-kicking bikes that they’ve always wanted.

loaded with all the carbon technology and performance of the SuperSix you know and love, SuperSix women’s has the geometry, fit and component specifications specifically for women. Put yourself first.

TECHnOLOgy HIgHLIgHTS

1. deSiGned by women for women

when it comes to riding, we design bikes that take a woman’s physique into account. what does this mean? it means we offer bikes with female specific geometry to account for shorter torsos and longer legs. this translates into a shorter top tube for our shorter reach, a taller head tube to balance proportionately taller seat height, and a fork rake which minimizes toe overlap, to name a few.

2. Comfort iS PerformAnCe

narrower bars, brake levers and controls closer to our hands and wider saddles are just some of the specific component changes we make on our women’s bikes. Attention to details translates into comfort, efficiency, energy saving, increased fun and ultimately more time on your bike, which is what it’s all about. the goal is better fit. the result is better comfort and performance.

3. liGht And Stiff

extremely lightweight (950 g) with great lateral and torsional stiffness but with an incredible road feel and liveliness often lost in carbon frames.

4. Co-Cured monoCoque front triAnGle

monocoque front triangle with optimized carbon layup, rear stays and size-specific alloy-faced full carbon dropouts are each molded as a single piece with precise radius-matched interfaces. Precise radius matching allows for maximum contact and support with the mating surface. the parts are joined by co-curing/carbon overwrapping. A more complex and expensive process, co-curing creates lighter, stiffer and stronger structures than the lugged or internal lugged junctions found on many other carbon frames.

5. BeatBox

massively oversized Beatbox BB area delivers torsional rigidity needed to turn the twisting loads from the cranks into forward momentum.

6. ASymmetriC ChAin StAyS

the drive side chain stay is oversized and shaped to resist the axial loads of the drivetrain, while the non-drive side is engineered for rigidity and greater weight saving.

7. deeP rAdiuS heAd tube

deep radius head tube and 1-1/8” to 1-1/2” tapered carbon steerer

8. overSized down tube

oversized down tube is round where it meets the bb for maximum torsional stiffness.

9. ovAlized toP tube

laterally ovalized top tube for increased rigidity while cornering and sprinting.

10. BB30 On ALL SuperSixeS

BB30 is the epitome of System integration, invented by Cannondale 11 years ago to take crank and frame performance to the next level. the light weight and efficiency of BB30 is found on all SuperSix bikes.

3. overSized ShAPed down tube

the oversized round down tube flares to meet the head tube for maximum stiffness.

4. ShAPed toP tube

the massive, horizontally ovalized top tube measures a huge 47.5 x 42 mm where it meets the head tube, narrows through the middle for knee clearance, then widens again to meet the seat stays.

5. SPeed SaVe STAyS

the chain stays and seat stays are shaped and butted to allow them to flex vertically but stay extremely stiff laterally. the wide spacing of the seat stays where they meet the top tube improves lateral stiffness.

6. hollow forGed brAke bridGe

light and stiff, little details like this really add up.

7. ASymmetriC ChAin StAyS

the driveside chain stay is oversized to better resist the loads from the drivetrain, while the non-drive stay is optimized for weight savings.

how do you improve on CaaD10? make it in a CaaD10 Womens. why? because ride quality is crucial for smaller, lighter riders. As any women who’s suffered over rough roads on some ultra-stiff “high-performance” frame knows, the appeal of an efficient bike quickly dims if you have to waste all your energy fighting being bounced around. the simple, elegant and incredibly effective SpeeD SaVe vibration elimination rear stays of the CaaD10 work constantly to absorb shock and vibration, keeping the rider rested and in control.

weighing in at just 1020 grams for a 48cm frame, complete with hardware, the CaaD10 is not only the lightest aluminum road frame ever created, it’s lighter than most of our competitors’ elite carbon frames.

forget about diamonds, CaaD10 is a woman’s best friend.

“As the female Synapse range matches the unisex line-up bike-for-bike, it really does offer all of the female-specific advantages, with none of the drawbacks.” –Cycling Active (UK), 5/11

“The Synapse is an incredible all-around bike that caters to the rider who wishes to kick ass in comfort.”–ROAD, USA 5/11

life CAn be hArSh. your ride Shouldn’t be.

The Synapse Women’s has been our top-selling women’s bike for the last three years, and for good reason. its combination of feathery weight, insightful geometry and thoughtful component choice creates a bike that is equally at home on a long autumn century ride, a sprint triathlon or anything in between. for 2012, we’ve improved on the award-winning Synapse Carbon by adding our new three point SaVe pLuS Comfort System to its successful monocoque mainframe. made up of redesigned rear stays, a new offset dropout fork and an interchangeable dual flex seatpost, the SaVe pLuS system adds enormous vertical compliance and comfort, while retaining the light weight, torsional rigidity and lively ride-feel of the previous version. while the proven geometry and positioning of our Synapse stays the same, the new Synapse is loaded with improved performance features.

AwARDS





narrower bars, brake levers and controls closer to our hands, and wider saddles are just some of the specific component changes we make on our women’s bikes. Attention to details translates into comfort, efficiency, energy saving, increased fun and ultimately more time on your bike, which is what it’s all about. the goal is better fit. the result is better comfort and performance.

3. heAdS-uP PerformAnCe Geometry

Compared with our women’s elite race geometry, the Synapse geometry features a taller head tube (1-2 cm taller), a gently sloping top tube, slightly relaxed head angle and a longer wheelbase. this combination provides a more upright riding position and a lively, yet stable feel. it’s confidence inspiring and relaxing but avoids the sluggish feel and awkward handling of many “comfort” road bikes.

4. SaVe pLuS REAR STAy mICRO-SuSpEnSIOn SySTEm

An all new carbon lay-up and exaggerated vibration-absorbing tube shapes give the SaVe pLuS chain stay/seat stay system 13% more vertical deflection than the previous version, while actually improving the frames lateral and torsional stiffness.

5. SaVe pLuS muLTIfLEX InTERCHAngEbLE SEATpOST SySTEm

fine tune your ride-feel to match your weight, terrain or preference by choosing either the firm-flex or soft-flex version of the SaVe pLuS seatpost shaft. the quick-change removable seatpost head allows you to switch back and forth between posts without having to remove and readjust the saddle each time. Compatible with 2009-2011 Synapse frames for owners who wish to upgrade.

6. SaVe pLuS fuLL CARbOn fORk

The Synapse SaVe pLuS full carbon fork is completely redesigned for 2012. offset dropouts allow the fork blades to have the vertical compliance of a shallow rake fork, without sacrificing the Synapse’s nimble, precise handling. refined carbon lay-up and SaVe shaping further enhance the fork’s vertical compliance.

7. Co-Cured monoCoque front triAnGle

monocoque front triangle with optimized carbon layup, rear stays and size-specific alloy-faced full carbon dropouts are joined by co-curing/carbon overwrapping. A more complex and expensive process, co-curing creates lighter, stiffer and stronger structures than the lugged or internal lugged junctions found on many other carbon frames.

8. BB30 SySTEm

BB30 on all carbon Synapses. BB30 is the epitome of System integration. Cannondale invented the BB30 standard 10 years ago to take crank and frame performance to the next level and our hollowgram Sl crankset remains the lightest, stiffest production crankset on the market.

9. double-Sided derAilleur hAnGer

the new double-sided, replaceable derailleur hanger is considerably stiffer than single sided hangers for crisper, more precise shifting response.

while its Synapse Carbon sister may win more accolades, Synapse alloy benefits from the same high performance features and design but because we know that once you ride Synapse Alloy you’re gonna ride it everywhere, we equip it with great add-ons: rack mounts, fender clearance and long-reach brakes that expand its versatility without sacrificing its sporting soul.

when it comes to riding we design bikes that take a woman’s different proportions into account. what does this mean? it means we offer bikes with appropriate geometry and custom selected componentry to ensure correct fit, comfort and performance.

2. AerodynAmiC

An ultra narrow frontal area and wind tunnel-proven tube shapes make the Slice one of the most aerodynamic frames ever tested by tour magazine.

3. aero SaVe mICRO-SuSpEnSIOn SySTEm

Cannondale’s designers know that all the aerodynamics in the world aren’t worth a thing if you can’t maintain the aero position, or if the ride leaves you so beat up that you can’t put out your best on the run. At the heart of the Slice’s remarkable comfort is the aero SaVe micro-suspension system. An elegant combination of directional tube shaping and extremely sophisticated carbon layup, the aero SaVe system allows the rear chain stays and seat stays to deflect together vertically to absorb road shock, while staying extremely stiff laterally and torsionally.

4. StAble Geometry

unlike the nervous, twitchy handling of some aero frames, the Slice’s geometry is designed to provide stable and confidence-inspiring handling while in the aero position, allowing you to relax and focus on your ride.

5. liGhter weiGht

Perhaps more important for women, as one of the lightest frames on the market, Slice’s nimble light weight allows you to put all your energy into pedaling fast rather than muscling your bike.

6. 650C wHEELS

650c wheels are the perfect fit for our size 47 frame. offering easier acceleration, weight saving and less toe overlap, they also produce a bike with a lower rider profile for increased aerodynamics.

ALTHOugH OvER THE yEARS, wOmEn HAvE bEEn HELD bACk by mAny THIngS, hiStoriCAlly, the biCyCle hAS not been one of them. unleSS you look At thoSe women who like to Go biGGer, ride lonGer, And ChArGe hArder.

for them, we offer Scarlet, a serious, dual-personality big mountain ride, from our stable of overMountain rigs.

with the dual travel shock technology of the DYaD rt2, Scarlet is the only 150/90mm, two-bikes-in-one women’s superbike on the market.

Climb like you’re on an xC bike; descend like you’re on a big mountain rig. Grimace less, smile more.

Scarlet. Adjust your attitude.


1. DYaD rt2 SHOCk

the new DYaD is the first shock that provides two completely different shock options in one package –elevate and flow. each mode has its own air spring volume, each with its own completely separate damping circuits. it is fundamentally like having two different shocks available to you at the flick of a switch.

in the 150 mm flow setting, the shock’s linear airspring technology (l.A.S.) provides a spring rate that is virtually identical to a coil spring and mates it with speed sensitive damping circuits tuned for maximum descending performance. in the 90 mm elevate setting, the air spring volume is reduced, providing a firm, progressive spring rate, mated to damping circuits optimized for trail riding and climbing performance.

2. Attitude AdjuSt

Attacking steep climbs requires a different attitude than charging aggressive descents but “Attitude” is also an aircraft term that refers to the angle of a craft relative to the horizon. Switching between the DYaD shock’s two settings radically alters Scarlet’s geometry and “attitude”: low and stable for flowing descents, steep and forward for efficient climbing.

DYaD’s dual modes counteract the inability of traditional shocks to account for changes in rider position and bike geometry when climbing. As the terrain points up, the bike and rider’s center of mass shifts rearward, compressing the shock and increasing the sag, forcing the rider to hunch forward to keep the front wheel weighted. the DYaD’s elevate setting reduces the sag, raising the bb, making the steering angle steeper, and keeping the rider in a position that more closely mimics their position on the flats.

3. enhAnCed Center StiffneSS-torSion Control SyStem (eCS-tC)

for instant response and perfect control, the Scarlet’s shock linkage and swingarm use 15mm thru-axles which are clamped on both sides, effectively tying the two sides together and dramatically increasing the system stiffness. ultra- wide bearing placement, double bearings at rear dropouts and a unique linkage-bearing preload system eliminate freeplay in the rear suspension, improving center-stiffness and enhancing control.

4. deSiGned to riP

The Scarlet features smaller sizing and almost a full inch more standover than the jekyll for confidence on the sketchy stuff.

5. Pull-ShoCk deSiGn

the pull-shock design of the Scarlet places the shock’s mass just above the bb keeping the bikes center of gravity low and centered and making the bike both extremely stable and supremely flickable. it also equalizes forces and concentrates stresses in the super strong bb node.

6. SmArtformed tubinG

Septuple-butted, heat-treated 6069 series aluminum. the down tube alone has seven different wall thicknesses, created by butting the tube along its length, then mechanically shaping the tube, then hydro-forming it into the final shape. labor intensive and difficult, it shows Cannondale’s continued mastery of the aluminum arts.

“Amazingly enough, everything that Cannondale say about the new overmountain line is pretty much dead on, they have redefined all mountain. these bikes seem so ahead of anything out there right now it’s hard to believe.”

“Cannondale has hit a home run this time. the industry will probably take a couple years to catch up.” –Decline Magazine, USA 5/11

7. box-SeCtion ConStruCtion

to maximize strength and stiffness while reducing weight in crucial high-load areas, the bb node, shock link and seat stay bridge are hollow, box-section construction. the two halves of each piece are forged, precision-machined, welded together and heat- treated, forming extremely stiff, strong and light structures. difficult, costly, and time consuming, it is details like this that make Scarlet truly exceptional.

8. x-12 THRu AXLE

Another example of our System integration philosophy, the x-12 thru axle and dropout system provides the stiffness of a 12 mm thru axle with the quick wheel changes and ease of use of a quick-release wheel. Compatible with 142mm and 135mm thru-axle wheels.

9. uninterruPted SeAt tube

forget interrupted seat tube designs; a full seat tube provides the maximum possible structural strength and allows for full seatpost height adjustment.

10. CLaSHniKoV TOp TubE

The Clashnikov top tube, with its distinctive vertically tapered seat tube yoke and massive diameter at the head tube delivers tremendous stiffness and strength to the top tube/seat tube and top tube/head tube junctions, while its ultra low standover height permits maximum maneuverability.

11. 1.5” Si HEAD TubE

Sometimes bigger really is better. Cannondale’s trademark 1.5” Si head tube provides exceptional stiffness for precise handling and burly, confidence-inspiring strength. the 1.5” steerers are significantly lighter, stiffer and stronger than tapered steerers.

12. full-Sized wAterbottle

the open front triangle, wide shock-link bearings and sculpted link allows the use of a full-sized waterbottle, perfect for short rides or extra capacity for full day epics.

Lexi, the SiSter of the rz one twenty, iS SYSteM inteGration AT ITS fInEST: A SImpLE yET EXTREmELy REfInED SIngLE pIvOT SuSpEnSIOn DESIgn THAT InCORpORATES wOmEn’S SpECIfIC gEOmETRy AnD fRAmE fEATuRES TO DELIvER the ultimAte women’S bike for mArAthon rACinG And All dAy ridinG.

our weight savings, which begin with the frame and continue with the ultra-light single-bladed Lefty suspension fork, allow you to put all your energies into pedaling fast rather than muscling your bike around. Go ahead, chick someone.


1. it’S All About you

Special attention has been paid to rider position on the Lexi to avoid the super-upright, dining chair feel and sluggish response of competitors’ offerings. the result is a balanced geometry and neutral riding position that splits difference between aggressive racing and relaxed all-mountain positions. because comfort and control translate into greater enjoyment and performance.


when it comes to riding, we design bikes that take a woman’s physique into account. what does this mean? it means we offer bikes with geometry and components made for women including a shorter top tube for our shorter reach, a lower standover height, brake levers and controls closer to our hands, and wider saddles.

Attention to details translates into comfort, efficiency, energy-saving, increased fun and ultimately more time on your bike, which is what, we think, it’s all about.

3. StAGed trAvel

Specifically-customized shocks are paired with a precisely engineered swing link to deliver 120mm of staged travel – plush in the early part of the stroke, more linear through the middle for efficient pedaling and smooth action, and firm at the end to prevent bottoming.

4. Size-SPeCifiC linkAGe

Suspension is a tricky thing. Subtle changes can have a big impact on the system’s performance. So rather than simply repositioning our shock mounts lower to gain the standover needed on smaller frames, we created an entirely different linkage so that the smaller frames maintain the leverage ratios and shock performance of the larger frames.

5. weiGht SAvinG LeftY

Cannondale’s super-rigid, single-bladed Lefty gives 120mm of stiction-free travel and considerable weight savings. it goes precisely where it’s pointed and is much easier to loft over obstacles.

6. SYSteM inteGration

true to Cannondale’s philosophy of the ride being more than the sum of the parts, the Lexi combines the benefits of some of our leading technologies: Lefty front suspension, opi Backbone, asymmetric swingarm and BB30 bottom bracket.

7. wAterbottle on All SizeS

uncluttered and open front triangle design leaves room for a waterbottle within hand’s reach on all sizes.

8. opi BaCKBone

with Cannondale’s one piece integration approach, we create lighter, stiffer, stronger parts by combining multiple pieces into a single unit. Lexi’s Backbone, the seat tube, bb shell and swingarm pivot are 3d forged as a single piece, eliminating excess material, and providing uniform grain alignment throughout for extreme strength in this crucial area.

9. SuPerb hAndlinG

the geometry splits the difference between our more aggressive Scarlet and racy flash. quick enough for technical trail riding, stable enough to keep you out of trouble when dropping that sketchy section at the end of an all day epic.

10. CannonDaLe SmARTfORmED ALumInum

whether it’s our trademark double pass smooth welds or the sophisticated butting and shaping of the tubes, the Lexi is a showcase of Cannondale’s years of aluminum mastery.

11. 1.5” Si HEAD TubE

our ultra strong 1.5” Si head tube features integrated bearings, eliminating the weight of headset cups and allowing full System integration with the unbeatable Lefty or standard 1.5” steerer forks. 1.5” steerers are lighter, stiffer and stronger than tapered steerers.

12. BB30 SySTEm

we know that a woman’s first few experiences out on the trail can spell the difference between a one-time buyer and a life-long cyclist, so we ensure that our bikes offer a refined geometry and exceptional component selection that allow riders to focus on enjoying the ride.

with features and technology derived from its upper end sibling, the flash, the trail series is perfect for turning new riders into cyclists.

The trail and trail SL share geometry but the Sl features a lighter, more aggressively butted tube set and a 1.5” head tube, to accept the stiffer, more precise handling 1.5” steerer forks.



when it comes to riding, we design bikes that take a woman’s physique into account. what does this mean? it means we offer bikes with female specific geometry to account for shorter torsos and longer legs. this translates into: a shorter top tube for our shorter reach, brake levers and controls closer to our hands, and a wide ergonomic saddle, to name a few.

2. Size-SPeCifiC SuSPenSion

because ride feel and response is key to your enjoyment, we’ve engineered size-specific springs so that the forks on each individual size are better suited to each rider and have a consistent response throughout the size range.

3. liGhteSt in ClASS frAme

lightest in class at 1600 g frame weight including paint and hardware.

4. StyliShly-ShAPed Aluminum

trail and trail SL’s 6061 aluminum tubing is crafted with mechanical forming technology which allows complex shaping and oversizing at the more stressed areas of the frame. the result is increased strength and remarkable weight savings that make for a lightweight, super enjoyable ride. the Sl version benefits from refined butting that saves almost 200 g.
