Cannondale Caad 8 2016 Specs

Cannondale s mastery of aluminum frames is evident when you inspect the shaped large diameter tubes with super thin wall profiles. Rated 5 out of 5 by m0rt from excellent upgradable with a fantastic ride originally picked because the geometry was spot on for me not so much the 2017 caad 12 since they reduced the head tube for the same frame size. Sizes 48 51 54 56 58 61cm frame size guide.

Cannondale caad8 sora 7 review.

Cannondale caad 8 2016 specs. Cannondale caad8 7 sora 2013. It s the most advanced best performing alloy race bike ever made. Cannondale caad 8 105 2011 rrp 1 000. Cannondale synapse 8 2300 2013.

Rear derailleur shimano 105. Cannondale have long had a good reputation for the quality of their aluminium frames and this frame reinforces that opinion. For nearly four decades our caad bikes have set the standard for high performance aluminum frames and the caad13 is the best one yet. Could have lived with all these bikes except the merida which had a vey harsh ride.

Double pass smooth welds taper butted tubes assymetric chainstays horizontally ovalised top tube and save synapse active vibration elimination vibration reducing stays to name. The ride is fantastic. There is no shortage of technology that has gone into this frame. Some other things have evolved over the last few decades too such as the cannondale developed bb30 bottom bracket which serves to emphasise the caad 8 s super sharp ride in the saddle or out.

In the end it came down to the caad 8 the trek 2 1 which i found very similar but settled on the cannondale due to its sharp handling and great looks. Fitting since aluminum is the 13th element. Drawing inspiration from the pro peloton and cannondale s racing history the caad8 105 is a high test road machine for the masses. Cannondale has always been renowned for their fat tubed and smoothly welded aluminum frames and the caad 8 was until a few years ago the cannondale s top end race offering.

Caad8 is built of a lesser quality aluminum than the caad10 and the tubes are not hydroformed mechanically shaped. The cannondale caad optimo with cannondale advanced aluminum design is an excellent value road racer bike ideal for new entrants. When other brands moved away from alloy cannondale persistently refined its caad range and it s paid off. Tested it against the giant defy 1 merida race lite 904 cannondale synapse trek 2 1.
