Cannondale System Six Aero Bars
Engineered to work together to defeat the giant of aerodynamic drag.
Cannondale system six aero bars. The systemsix name comes from what cannondale calls its six point design. Cannondale claims it s a six point design process. Within that it broke the bike into three. A closer look at cannondales new handlebar system designed for the systemsix.
And they have done it the systemsix race bike of the year. Cannondale hollowgram save systembar product no. This works especially well with shimano di2 cables. The frame fork seatpost stem handlebar and wheelset with each element optimized to be as efficient as possible to create what cannondale claims is the fastest road bike on the planet.
For example the specialized s works venge weighs a slim 6 9kg. The hollow head tube extension and shape match gated spacers offer improved cable routing. At 7 6kg on our scales the systemsix isn t as svelte as the other aero bikes launched this year. Fsa s aero brand bars and stem as standard.
A holistically designed six point system frame fork seatpost bar stem wheels. The tyre and wheel system is designed together. Cannondale developed the systemsix with the aim of exploiting every one of the latest technical advances and relaxations of uci regulations to deliver the fastest all round aero bike in the world. As its name suggests the systemsix was designed around optimizing six separate elements in its pursuit for all out speed and aero efficiency.
Frame fork to minimize drag the frame and fork feature highly truncated airfoil shapes engineered to maintain flow attachment across important yaw angles. Aero considerations on the frame fork wheels seatpost bar and stem. The first two bikes in the range have vision carbon aero bars while the hi mod bikes have cannondale knøt systembar for an even smoother look as well as improved airflow. In fact on average an aero bike will be faster up anything less than a 6 gradient and even steeper for stronger riders.
