Cannondale SuperSix 105 Review
Written by drbob on July 22, 2011 – 2:44 pm -"Quality setup, beautiful ride – all at a reasonable price" Last year’s Cycling Plus Bike of the Year was the Cannondale Six, so it should come as no surprise that its successor is another top quality performer with a refined ride. While £1,799 isn’t exactly cheap, you're getting an awful lot of bike for your dosh. A jack-of-all-trades? Perhaps, but the SuperSix has managed to master most of them. Super? We certainly think so. As usual with Cannondale, stiffness and efficiency are the watchwords, from the SuperSix’s oversized ‘BeatBox’ BB30 bottom bracket to its tapered head tube and super-size down tube. This might make it sound like a ruthless race bike that’ll beat you up on the road, but the stiffness is tempered by the fairly... more

Cannondale CAAD10 and SuperX for 2011
Written by drbob on July 4, 2010 – 4:15 pm -By James Huang, technical editor bikeradar.com Cannondale continue their touted aluminium legacy with all-new CAAD10 road models for 2011 Cannondale's long history of crafting cutting-edge aluminium road chassis will continue into 2011 with the introduction of an all-new CAAD10 that sheds 200g from the current CAAD9 for an impressive estimated bare frame weight of 1,050g (2.31lb). As expected, tube shaping is more advanced than on the CAAD9 for better stiffness in certain directions but more tuned flex in others. The giant hydroformed down tube flares vertically at the head tube, the broad top tube sports a new squared-off oval profile, the seat tube is flattened and ovalised below the front derailleur clamp, and the chain- and seatstays boast... more

Cannondale Scalpel Team Pro Review
Written by drbob on January 12, 2010 – 9:38 am -by charles Cannondale’s top of the heap XC Scalpel Team edition gets dirty. Doubt everything about the bike from the funky fork to a rear end missing at least two joints, but like everything else, a ride tells the story. Cannondale is “that other American brand”. Frankly they’ve always done a better job designing and building bikes than they have at marketing them. That’s a bold statement coming from a goober like me, especially when you consider that, along with prototype testing or R&D, a company’s marketing guys usually run the media show… But please understand that I don’t mean it as a swipe at Cannondale. Frankly, if a few companies engineers (the ones that actually have engineers that is…) spent more time in original... more

Cannondale System Six Carbon Superlight Road Bike Review
Written by drbob on January 3, 2010 – 7:36 pm -By BikeRadar "With its short head tube, direct steering response and exceptional willingness to respond to all-out efforts on steep gradients, the new SystemSix is sharper and more refined for speed than Cannondale's previous models, and closer to its competitors in terms of performance. " The heady days of the Saeco team's supremacy in the sprint may be over for Cannondale - certainly since Mario Cipollini bowed out - but the company is still very much at the cutting edge of bike technology. With benchmark setters like the R900 and the sublimely smooth Six-13 Team - used by the up-and-coming Barloworld squad - innovation and success is still a massive priority for the Cannondale crew. Not content with resting on their laurels, the people from... more

Cannondale SystemSix Liquigas Review
Written by drbob on November 16, 2009 – 11:43 pm -By Paul Vincent Cannondale's System Six Liquigas is a tour de force of US-made frame excellence coupled with great components and fine looks. The US-built, carbon/aluminium co-moulded flagship SystemSix is designed for riders who want something stiffer and even more exciting than the once range-topping Six-13. We'll find out whether this new lower price pointed version sets a new benchmark for value. Frame Producing an entirely US-made product to meet the needs of a partisan American consumer, when everyone else is sourcing from much cheaper Taiwan, is no mean feat for Cannondale. The entire production of their SystemSix frame is carried out in-house, where a CAAD 9-welded, aluminium rear triangle is mated to high modulus carbon top-tube, head-tube... more
