Technology
Power Pyramid Seat Tube
The seat tube splits asymmetrically to meet the wide, 73mm BB30A for maximum stiffness with minimal weight.
BallisTec Carbon
Cannondale's proprietary high-strength, high-stiffness carbon construction. An advanced matrix of intermediate modulus fibers creates a frame that's light, durable and lively.
Fender Up
Fully fender ready. A removable fender bridge on the rear stays is there when you need it, gone when you don't.
