Cannondale CAAD 2015
World-leading aluminium frames
The CAAD is an entry-level aluminium road racer, for anybody wanting a way into the sport; it can also be a fast and fun sportive bike. It’s claimed the Cannondale’s CAAD10 aluminium frames (using Smartform alloy) can perform as well as carbon fibre, but without the carbon price tag.

Features
Race geometry, but comfortable
The CAAD has an aggressive race geometry, with a longer top-tube and shorter head-tube; great for competitions. However, the frame is more forgiving that a pure-bred race machine like a SuperSix, giving you a more relaxed position for added comfort. That makes it an ideal sportive bike for those that are looking to bring down their PB’s.

Racers of all kinds
The incredibly light and stiff aluminium frames make the Cannondale CAAD (especially CAAD 10) a fantastic criterium or sportive race bike, with their superb handling properties. The CAAD range turns mere riders into race-ready ‘cyclists’.
