Aluminium is the 13th element on the periodic table so its fate that the Caad 13 is a masterpiece of engineering & design & the most impressive aluminium bike on the market today. Until the Caad 13 came along the Caad 12 was considered the best alloy bike in the world! The Caad 13 is faster, more comfortable, capable & beautiful. The Caad 13 competes head to head with a carbon road bike on every level but the price! The Frame is made from Smart form C1 alloy construction. Which means no expense is spared to ensure every ounce of unnecessary material is removed while creating a frame strong enough to meet Cannondales lifetime warranty. An all-new tube shapes focus on aerodynamics. Delivering the weight & stiffness of a round tube but with up to 30% less drag. Consideration has been paid to smaller speed details such as two locations for a water bottle cage on the down tube. The Caad range is known for intuitive handling, the Caad 13 improves on this sharing the same geometry & rider position to the Supersix Evo. Giving quicker, precise handling & a high-performance riding position. Comfort has been enhanced upon, a new configuration of SAVE micro-suspension technology in the tubes, drop rear seat stay, knot 27 seat post & integrated seat binder work together to absorb the impact of bumps in the road. This is an enhancement on the Caad 12 which was known for being a smooth ride already! Other features are a full carbon fork. Massive tyre clearance with space for 30mm tyre & room to spare. Note:the rim brake version is limited to 28mm tyre clearance still good for comfort & grip. Internal cable routing with a switchplate system similar to the Synapse & Supersix Evo to easily configure all different setups. Speed release thru front & rear axels enabling rapid wheel changes if needed.
