Make Your Own Luck
CAAD13 is the ultimate alloy race machine. With exceptional efficiency and superb handling.
With every new CAAD we design, speed increases. The same can’t be said for weight. Drag-reducing tube shapes and sleek integration keeps the CAAD13 light but make it much, much faster. Dropped rear stay configuration and ample room for bigger tires delivers the best possible blend of stiff efficiency and unbeatable comfort in an alloy road racer.
See the Collection
For nearly four decades, our CAAD bikes have set the standard for high-performance aluminum frames, and the CAAD13 is the best one yet. It's the most advanced, best performing alloy race bike ever made. Fitting, since aluminum is the 13th element.

Technology
Speed of Light
The frame features highly truncated airfoil tube shapes that offer the same weight, and equal or better stiffness, than round tubes, but can reduce drag by up to 30%.
Smoother Than Ever
CAAD bikes have always been known for their surprisingly smooth ride. CAAD13 is even smoother, thanks to the newly designed SAVE rear triangle, integrated seat binder and KNØT 27 seat post.
Clearly Capable
For comfort and capability on all kinds of roads, CAAD13 will easily fit the largest tire size the brake caliper will allow (28mm for most brakes).
Fender Up
Subtle fender mounts for wet weather riding and training.
