Cannondale bad boy or quick. We got the opportunity to test ride the cannondale bad boy 4 2018 and here us what we thought. The cannondale company describes itself as a manufacturer of high performance high end bicycles. Made of aluminum and carbon fiber cannondale bikes are lightweight and sturdy. Bad boy rolls big volume tires on 650b wheels that are fast rolling and nimble handling with crazy cornering grip and pothole erasing comfort.
The cannondale quick althea and treadwell series feature c3 aluminum while the cannondale bad boy series comes with a c2 aluminum frame. Cannondale has been building agile bikes for decades so it comes as no surprise that bad boy 1 follows the same path. Cannondale has fitted shimano easy fire ef505 gear shifters on the bad boy 3 to compliment the 2 8 shimano drivetrain and provide a clear optical display of derailleur position. All the series except cannondale althea have the traditional metal frame of a hybrid bike.
The cannondale bad boy 4 sits at the bottom of the company s hybrid range with an aluminium frame and a rigid fork. Cannondale s hybrid range is vast with the quick series of bicycles. The quick cx and bad boy are two of the company s recreation bikes. The cannondale bad boy hybrid bike range has been re designed from the ground up.
However the althea comes with a step through design that is with ride easy geometry. The range now use a 650b platform adding extra stiffness and durability to the range. Rims are cannondale c2 for the bad boy 3 and 4 while the 1 and 2 get cannondale c1 rims. The bike you see here is the 2016 model.
This gives the bad boy a much more nimble feel allowing quick changes of direction in tight city street situations. The flagship bicycle in this hybrid bicycle is the bad boy. The head tube and down tube of the bad boy 1 are 3d forged from a single piece of aluminum for high strength and a sleek look. They provide quick and easy click shifting between the 16 gears using just a thumb and forefinger while leaving optimal space for the integrated brake levers.

All models get the one sided lefty hub in front which makes fixing a flat super easy as you don t have to take the wheel off.
