Description
Prospective riders with an eye for a bargain will certainly notice the Cannondale CAAD Optimo Claris Road Bike which offers serious bang for your buck. The combination of a superb aluminium frame with a full carbon fork and reliable Shimano components makes this a fantastic first road bike.
Benefit from the trickle-down effect of Cannondale's decades of alloy research and refinement, with the CAAD Optimo. With a frame formed of SmartForm C2 aluminium, it borrows key features from Cannondale's all-out aluminium race machine, the CAAD12. Created using Cannondale's Tube Flow Modeling design process, it's lighter than plenty of its competitors while offering a more enjoyable ride too. Much of that is down to the SAVE micro-suspension technology incorporated into the tube shaping. Road vibrations are significantly reduced to keep the rider fresher for longer.
The elite race geometry puts the rider in a position that maximises the return on their efforts, making the back more streamlined and aiding handling on tight corners.
Shimano supplies the shifters and derailleurs, with their Claris components delivering an effective and reliable 2x8-speed setup. With the FSA Tempo alloy crankset, you get compact 50/34t chainrings which, in combination with the 11-30t cassette, provide enough gears to tackle any gradient.
