ALLOY PERFORMANCE:

The CAAD9 is the best alloy bike at any price. Cannondale's quarter century of aluminum design experience means the CAAD9 is the most refined and technologically advance alloy frame on the planet. In short, it outperforms lesser carbon frames.

BB30:

Now on the CAAD9! The BB30 was invented to give riders everywhere more power from every pedal revolution. Shave weight, maximize pedaling effort and ride faster. With the Hollowgram Si SL, it’s the lightest crankset/BB combo in the world.

VERSATILITY:

As an Elite frame in Cannondale’s road line, the CAAD9 has Pro-Tour geometry that’s at home in continental pelotons. But it’s equally suited for multi-day charity rides and remains a cult favorite when knocking elbows at the local crit race.

About Cannondale

There is no more innovative company in the bicycle world than Cannondale. The history of this company is marked by leaps in bicycle design, component integration, and performance at all levels. We concentrate on Cannondale's road line, believing they offer some of the best bikes in the world at very reasonable prices. Many of these bikes are still Made in the USA, and are unmatched when it comes to their stiffness to weight ratio. We don't ignore Cannondale's mountain bikes, and our plans for 2008 are to re-invest in selling the MTB line with the introduction of the new Cannondale Rize.
