Twelve years later they rolled out the first large-diameter aluminum road bike and began rewriting what a race frame could be — stiffer, lighter, and shaped unlike anything the steel era had produced. That unconventional streak never left. Today Cannondale supplies EF Pro Cycling with the SuperSix EVO LAB71, the brand's flagship race machine built under its top-tier R\u0026amp;D program. At RA Cycles, the collection spans the full lineup: the SuperSix EVO for road racing, the Synapse for endurance, the SuperX for gravel, the Scalpel and Habit for mountain, the Moterra Neo for e-MTB, and the CAAD13 for riders who want an aluminum race bike that doesn't apologize for it. Builds from $2,800 to $15,000.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cannondale-supersix-evo-hm-disc-frameset","title":"Cannondale SuperSix EVO HM Disc Frameset","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCannondale SuperSix EVO HM Disc Frameset\u003c\/strong\u003e is the build-your-own foundation for a race bike that has proven itself at the highest level of the sport. EF Education–EasyPost race the SuperSix EVO on the WorldTour across stages where light weight and sharp handling matter most — punchy climbs, technical descents, and the kind of breakaway attacks where every gram of rotating and total mass is accountable. The fourth-generation platform behind this frameset carries those same priorities: BallisTec Hi-MOD carbon construction, aerodynamically tuned tube profiles, and geometry refined over successive generations to handle as well under pressure as it does on a neutral training ride. For a rider who wants to specify every component themselves, this is the starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe frame is built from Cannondale's BallisTec Hi-MOD carbon, the brand's premium fiber designation, which uses a greater proportion of high-modulus fibers compared to the standard BallisTec layup found in lower-spec SuperSix variants. The more significant engineering choice is that Cannondale designs a unique tube geometry and carbon schedule for each individual frame size. A 48cm and a 61cm are not scaled versions of the same structure — each is specifically tuned for the stiffness, compliance, and weight requirements of a rider at that end of the size range. This size-specific approach means the frame accelerates and responds consistently regardless of which size is on the road, rather than asking smaller or larger riders to accept a chassis calibrated for the middle of the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eAerodynamics were developed through CFD analysis and wind tunnel testing, applied to a frame whose primary mission is lightness rather than pure drag reduction. The downtube, chainstays, and seatstays carry controlled aero cross-sections that reduce drag under real-world riding conditions — where wind arrives at varied angles and rider position changes constantly — rather than optimizing purely for steady-state tunnel measurements. The handling geometry balances two qualities that frequently trade against each other: the agility to respond instantly on a climb or through a tight corner, and the stability to hold a confident line at high speed on a descent. What reviewers and racers consistently describe is a frame that commits to a line rather than requiring correction, whether accelerating out of a hairpin or holding speed on a long exposed descent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eInside the frame, Cannondale's Switchplate system manages integrated cable and hose routing in a clean, purpose-built channel that handles mechanical and electronic drivetrains without awkward housing transitions at the head tube. The frame is SmartSense compatible, meaning Cannondale's automatic lighting system integrates directly for riders who want it. The bottom bracket shell uses BSA 68mm threading — a traditional standard that avoids the creak and service complications associated with press-fit systems and keeps compatibility options wide open. Syntace thru-axles run front (12x100mm) and rear (12x142mm), with flat-mount disc caliper mounts at both ends. An integrated seat binder in the rear keeps the frame profile clean without a separate collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe frameset ships with the Cannondale C1 Aero 40 Carbon seatpost and an integrated headset (1-1\/8\" to 1-1\/4\" tapered), covering the essential components for a build. Front derailleur mounting is braze-on, required for any 2x drivetrain; builders running 1x electronic setups can skip it entirely. Tire clearance is 34mm on 700c wheels, expanded from 30mm on the previous generation — enough to run narrow 25mm race rubber in competition and step up to 28–32mm for training or variable surfaces without swapping frames. Six sizes cover 48cm through 61cm. The frameset is available in Laguna Yellow and Smoke Black — two clean colorways that suit the frame's race-focused character without over-announcing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cannondale","offers":[{"title":"Laguna Yellow \/ 48cm","offer_id":43651183804460,"sku":"C11182U2048","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Laguna Yellow \/ 51cm","offer_id":43651183837228,"sku":"C11182U2051","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Laguna Yellow \/ 54cm","offer_id":43651183869996,"sku":"C11182U2054","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Laguna Yellow \/ 56cm","offer_id":43651183902764,"sku":"C11182U2056","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Laguna Yellow \/ 58cm","offer_id":43651183935532,"sku":"C11182U2058","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Smoke Black \/ 61cm","offer_id":43509064335404,"sku":"C11182U1061","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Smoke Black \/ 48cm","offer_id":44044910034988,"sku":"C11182U1048","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Smoke Black \/ 51cm","offer_id":44044910067756,"sku":"C11182U1051","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Smoke Black \/ 54cm","offer_id":44044910133292,"sku":"C11182U1054","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Smoke Black \/ 56cm","offer_id":44044910166060,"sku":"C11182U1056","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Smoke Black \/ 58cm","offer_id":44044910329900,"sku":"C11182U1058","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/31085_fbe35d35-79c1-4c9d-8ba1-4315727ab039.jpg?v=1758346348"},{"product_id":"cannondale-superx-carbon-3-bike","title":"Cannondale SuperX Carbon 3 Bike","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCannondale SuperX Carbon 3 Bike\u003c\/strong\u003e is Cannondale's entry point into the SuperX platform — a gravel race bike with genuine cyclocross DNA, redesigned from the ground up for competitive gravel. The SuperX lineage was built on CX podiums before Cannondale pivoted it into one of the more purposeful gravel race frames on the market. The Carbon 3 puts that platform in reach of a broader range of riders: a full SuperX carbon frame and fork, Shimano GRX 820 mechanical shifting, Vittoria Terreno tubeless-ready tires, and DT Swiss G1800 wheels. This is not an all-road bike or a bikepacking rig. It's a race bike built to run 40mm tires on unpredictable terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe SuperX carbon frame is built with Cannondale's Proportional Response construction, meaning the carbon layup is tuned individually for each frame size rather than scaled from a single schedule. Smaller frames get a construction optimized for their stiffness and weight requirements; larger sizes get theirs. Dedicated flex zones in the seat tube, rear triangle, and top tube work as a system to generate vertical compliance on rough surfaces — structural decisions, not passive material choices. That compliance runs through the cockpit as well: the Cannondale C1 Aero 27 Carbon seatpost (D-shaped, SmartSense compatible) handles the final link between frame and saddle. Tire clearance runs to 48mm in the frame and 51mm in the fork, which gives the SuperX room to run genuinely capable rubber across varying terrain. An integrated top tube bag mount sits flush when not in use, and the frame carries a lifetime guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Delta Steerer system routes housing cleanly through the headset and into the frame, eliminating external cable loops at the stem and keeping aerodynamic lines across the front end. The result is a cockpit that functions closer to an aero road bike than a conventional gravel machine — and one with fewer surfaces for mud and grit to accumulate during long events. Handling character is defined by OutFront Geometry: a slack head tube angle paired with a 55mm fork offset positions the front wheel further forward than most gravel bikes, building stability on rough descents and loose surfaces without dulling steering through corners. Chainstay length is a consistent 422mm across all six sizes — 46 through 61 — keeping the rear end compact and the handling consistent regardless of which size you're on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eShimano GRX 820 is the top tier of Shimano's gravel-specific mechanical groupset, and the Carbon 3 runs it throughout: front derailleur, rear derailleur, hydraulic brake levers, and GRX 820 crankset. The crankset runs a 48\/31T chainring configuration, mated to a Shimano 105 R7100 12-speed cassette in an 11-36T spread. The cassette is 105-spec rather than GRX — a cost decision that doesn't affect shift quality, which comes entirely from the derailleurs and levers. That gearing range covers extended climbing without becoming awkward on fast flat hardpack, a spread that works well for mixed-terrain events where a single race might demand both. Shimano CL800 160mm rotors front and rear handle braking through the GRX 820 hydraulic calipers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eDT Swiss G1800 wheels arrive tubeless ready, paired with Vittoria Terreno T50 tires in 700x40 — also tubeless ready from the factory. The Terreno T50's tread pattern is designed to roll fast on hardpack while maintaining traction on loose dirt, a balanced choice for race-day conditions that can't be predicted in advance. The cockpit is built on Cannondale's own components: C1 Conceal alloy stem at -6 degrees, C2 Compact alloy handlebar, and 3.5mm Cannondale bar tape. The Prologo Dimension AGX STN saddle is a gravel-specific design with cutout relief. Six sizes cover 46 through 61, giving riders at both ends of the range access to the same geometry and the same compliance character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cannondale","offers":[{"title":"Raw \/ 46cm","offer_id":44109797163052,"sku":"C17045U1046","price":3999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Raw \/ 51cm","offer_id":44109797195820,"sku":"C17045U1051","price":3999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Raw \/ 54cm","offer_id":44109797228588,"sku":"C17045U1054","price":3999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Raw \/ 56cm","offer_id":44109797261356,"sku":"C17045U1056","price":3999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Raw \/ 58cm","offer_id":44109797294124,"sku":"C17045U1058","price":5499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Raw \/ 61cm","offer_id":44109797326892,"sku":"C17045U1061","price":5499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/cannondale-superx-carbon-3-bike-1847899.jpg?v=1771293748"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/collections\/cannondale.jpg?v=1719337937","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/collections\/cannondale-bikes.oembed","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
