The aluminium frame is super stiff with an oversized bottom bracket, asymmetric chain stays & flared seat tube so you can get maximum power in sprints on your local club ride or crit. Cannondale have combined this with their SAVE micro-suspension to make the aluminium CAAD12 smoother riding than many carbon bikes. Best of all the frame weights in at just 1098g with an extra 330g for the forks. The CAAD12 Ultegra sits in the middle of the CAAD12 range is the great value for your money.
