Description
The Cannondale CAAD8 Claris Road Bike 2016, inspired by its bigger brother the CAAD10, offers a high performance alternative to carbon at an affordable price. If your looking to step up from your early road riding days but not wanting a full elite race fit and geometry, the lightest-in-class frame with a slightly more forgiving Heads-Up Race geometry makes the CAAD8 the perfect choice.
Featuring the most advanced aluminium manufacturing in the world, the SmartFormed 6061 Alloy Construction on the CAAD8 frame results in a frame that is strong and light, weighing in at only 1150g for the anodised version, size 56cm.
Race orientated SPEED SAVE technology features in the fork with BallisTec Carbon and offset dropouts delivering optimal vertical compliance with razor sharp handling. The SPEED SAVE fork works in conjunction with the rear triangle of the bike, which also features SPEED SAVE Micro-Suspension technology in the chainstays, seatstays and seat tube, which absorbs road vibrations and maximises torsional rigidity resulting in a bike that not only feels more comfortable but also rolls better, accelerates better and corners faster without affecting power transfer.
Finished off with 8-speed Shimano Claris shifters, brake levers and front and rear derailleurs, the CAAD8 Claris Road Bike is the perfect choice if your an aspiring racer, looking to up your game on club rides or simply looking for a bike that bridges the gap between an out and out race bike and a comfort endurance machine.
