CAAD12 Ultegra Alloy Road Bike (2019)

The all new CAAD12 is the perfect Road Race, Criterium or training bike; its traditional geometry makes it a popular work-man bike where the pure value for money can’t be beaten. Lighter, stiffer and more comfortable than most carbon frames, it’s the finest alloy race bike available to the market.

With a 1100g frame weight, the CAAD12 wipes the floor with most even high-end Carbon Frames; this is down to Cannondale using their SmartForm C1 Performance Construction. Computer modelling helps optimise the distribution of the material, determining the exact wall thickness helping reduce weight whilst maintain excellent stiffness in the relevant areas.

Utilizing the BB30a bottom bracket, asymmetric chain stays and delta seat tube dramatically increases stiffness, ensuring every ounce of your efforts is transferred to the wheels. Geometry is aggressive and virtually the same as the Super Six Evo, the aggressive position provides a responsive and nimble ride no matter what position you have your hands in.

Discover a sophisticated frame than beats most carbon frames hands down.
