COMPLIANCE:
The hourglass-shaped seat stays lend compliance for greater rider comfort over the long haul, but yield nothing to energysapping lateral movement.
GEOMETRY:
A slightly more upright riding position gives riders comfortable, predictable handling. The geometry straddles Elite and Performance ride characteristics for the best of both worlds.
MANUFACTURING QUALITY:
Cannondale’s trademark double-pass smooth-welded technology virtually eliminates the stress risers possible on machine-welded frames and gives the frames a finished, handcrafted aesthetic.
