A very light and strong bike that took many protour victories.
Cannondale caad optimo upgrades. Cannondale 3 with intellimount alloy 31 8mm clamp weight. The geometry is similar to the caad 13 giving a fast and aggressive riding position. Frame is really stiff and handles well. Cannondale s legendary aluminium caad platform is revamped and reborn with the caad13.
2007 cannondale systemsix1 full dura ace. Cannondale caad optimo 105 road bike 2020 where performance begins. I d say the closest frame to a caad9 is the caad7 r2000 optimo circa 2000 2004. We take a look at the new bike and each build in the extensive 2020 range.
The premium fork of the six13 is 100 grams lighter than the premium fork that comes with a caad 7 8 bike frame. Cannondale has a long history of crafting high quality aluminium race bikes. I have a six13 team two carbon tubes and it rides fantastic the difference in weight is not that much compared to a caad 7 8. The caad 8 optimo 1 can be bought for 300 dollars leaving lots of room for drivetrain wheel upgrades.
I have no issues descending with the big boys on their new road bikes. The weight difference between caad 7 8 bikes and six13 bikes is in the fork and component selection. This is a really impressive revamp and an excellent alternative to carbon. The caad optimo s smartform c2 aluminum construction is lighter and has a better ride feel than the premium alloy offerings of cannondale s competitors.
Smartform c2 is the product of decades of alloy development and experience and far exceeds the performance of alloys used by most other brands whatever the price point. Straight from the box the optimo is race ready. The caad13 disc 105 represents far more than a quick update for cannondale s aluminium race bike drag has been reduced versatility has increased and the ride is more comfortable than ever. 14 5 kg 31 9 lbs bike and frame weights may vary in final production.
