Cannondale CAAD12 Disc Road Frameset 2016

Cannondale CAAD12 Disc Road Frameset 2016

The CAAD10 frameset, that this Cannondale CAAD12 Disc Road Frameset 2016 replaces, was one of the bestselling alloy framesets on the market. Considering the simultaneous increases in stiffness and ride quality this is an even more exciting a proposition.

A lot of this development comes from Cannondale's new Flow Modelling process. This has allowed Cannondale to shave off some serious weight. This in itself would give you a tangible performance increase, but Cannondale have not stopped there, with vertical compliance being increased for better ride quality, without compromising the stiffness that Cannondale has become known for. This sets their bikes and frames apart as superb race machines.

Another area that has improved the 'on bike' experience is the updated Speed Save micro-suspension system that offers you 50% more compliance, where you need it to be comfortable. Add into this the full carbon fibre fork and you can see how serious Cannondale have been about making this exceptionally fast.

One of the most striking features of this bike are the braze-on disc mounts that actually allow the disc frame to weigh in a few grams lighter than the rim brake version.

All of the above features mean swinging a leg over this frameset will make you want to go fast. You will be delighted that Cannondale have built it to their elite race geometry to help you out even further in your quest for speed. This means it almost mimics the SuperSix EVO Hi-MOD, with a low front end and short wheelbase to give you an aggressive position, with superb handling abilities.

Undeniably then, this bike is perfect for those who enjoy going fast, be that an aspiring racer, competitive club rider or anyone looking to push their boundaries.
