Sport/Performance

Make your own luck. This is the speediest, smoothest, best-handling, finest-performing aluminum race bike on the planet. 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. Highlights - Ultralight SmartForm C1 Premium Alloy Frame w/full carbon fork - Shimano Ultegra hydro disc group / Cannondale 1 crank - Fulcrum Racing 900 RB wheelset Where it thrives - In competition, the open road What it's built for - Speed, agility, handling The Aluminum Experts Cannondale forged its legacy in aluminum and CAAD13's SmartForm C1 Premium Alloy is the lightest, most sophisticated aluminum construction available. 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 27 KNØT seat post. Clearly Capable The new frame design has clearance for some seriously big rubber. 30mm tires fit with ease, for new levels of comfort and capability on any kind of road. HollowGram SAVE SystemBar Svelte stem and bar profile reduces drag and absorbs shock for added speed and comfort. Two-piece design allows interchangeability and 8° of pitch adjustment to perfectly fine-tune rider position. HollowGram 45 SL KNØT Carbon Wheels An evolution of our wide, ultra-fast, low-drag rim profile with a light, versatile 45mm depth. Maintains high aerodynamic efficiency even with big tires. Speed Release Equipped The Speed Release thru-axles allow faster, easier wheel changes and are compatible with most standard thru-axle wheelsets. Fender Up Fully fender ready. A removable fender bridge on the rear stays is there when you need it, gone when you don't.

Synapse Carbon is a road bike that’s light, stiff, fast, and surprisingly comfortable. It's performance-focused, but with a slightly more upright geometry, perfect for long days in the saddle and confident handling on all road surfaces. Micro-Suspension in the rear triangle and fork keeps you comfortable and in control, while the frame's BallisTec Carbon construction and full carbon fork deliver exceptionally low weight for this category and result in a high-performance feel. With clearance for tires up to 32mm wide and subtle, hidden fender mounts for exploring the wilder side of endurance riding, the Synapse Disc is ready for adventure. - BallisTec Carbon frame, internal cable routing, flat mount disc - Full carbon thru-axle fork - Shimano Tiagra 10-speed drivetrain - Vittoria Zaffiro 28c tires
