Cannondale SuperSix Evo Hi-Mod Ultegra Road Bike 2016

Cannondale SuperSix Evo Hi-Mod Ultegra Road Bike 2016

Plugging a serious gap in their SuperSix range from last year, the Cannondale SuperSix Evo Hi-Mod Ultegra Road Bike 2016 brings the superb, new and improved SuperSix High-Modulus frame to a price point for those that cannot stretch to Dura Ace or Di2, but still want all the benefits of one of the best performing frames on the market.

Having won so many awards for last years frame, improving on it must have been difficult, but Cannondale have certainly managed it. Improvements have been made in the stiffness of the bottom bracket, headtube and fork to give you even better response and performance. This has not come at the cost of comfort, as compliance where it is needed has gone up by 20% to keep you fresher for longer and allow you to sustain your best efforts. Thankfully, Cannondale have been able to tackle aerodynamics, without making a ridiculous and impractical looking bike.

Clever Truncated Aero Profile (TAP) tube shapes allow you to cheat the wind for an added six watts of saved even over last year's model. All of these advancements have not come with a weight penalty though, as amazingly Cannondale have managed to save an additional 70 grams from the system weight. Considering all of these together, really emphasises the jaw dropping quality of this super bike that you will really be able to notice.

Speed is at the heart of the new SuperSix EVO BallisTec Carbon SPEED SAVE frame. This is paired with a Pressfit BB30 bottom bracket and the exceptionally smooth, lightweight and stiff Cannondale HollowGram Si crankset. Shimano's excellent Ultegra 6800, 11-speed groupset and offers precise and fast shifting.

High performance comes straight out of the box thanks to the Mavic Kysrium wheels. These are new from Mavic for 2016, so it is great to find them in this build. A race-ready setup does not mean it is an uncomfortable one. Fizik are well established in the cycling industry, producing saddles for the likes of Tour de France champion Chris Froome, and they have added their Arione R5 saddle complete with MG rails to shave some grams off and add comfort.

This Cannondale is equally at home on climbs, bunch sprints or just clocking up some serious miles on. If you are looking to find some serious speed, then this Cannondale SuperSix Evo Hi-Mod Ultegra Road Bike 2016 could be the bike for you.
