Product Details

Cannondale CAAD Optimo 2 Road Bike

Utilising a lightweight SmartForm C2 aluminium frame with refined tube shapes, precision butting and double-pass welds, the Cannondale CAAD Optimo 2 Road Bike affords a responsive and enthusiastic ride experience. The frame also exhibits dropped seatstays and SAVE engineered flex zones to donate fatigue-reducing compliance over rough road surfaces. The full carbon fork is light, laterally stiff and damps road vibrations, and combines with the frame via Cannondale’s Elite Race geometry to ensure nimble handling and a powerful, comfortable riding position.

The CAAD Optimo 2 wheels are robust to cut down on maintenance time but are low in weight to enhance acceleration. A Shimano Tiagra 10-speed gear set up donates smooth, crisp shifting and provides ratios suitable for tackling any topography. Traditional caliper brakes are easy to operate, and stiff aluminium handlebars guarantee sharp direction changes. Mudguard eyelets on the frameset complete the package, expanding this bike’s versatility to winter training.

Rim brakes aren't dead. This bike hits the spot for good kit at an affordable price. Ditched a disc brake gravel bike and very pleased with this. Simple maintenance, good looks and does everything a road bike should.
