2014 Cannondale CAAD10 - The One, The Only, The TEN

The Legendary CAAD10 Needs No Introduction. 

Lighter, stiffer and smoother than many of its carbon competitors, it is simply the world's finest aluminum road racing machine.


The CAAD10 boasts the most sophisticated, highest performance aluminum race bike ever made. Its geometry is virtually identical to the SuperSix EVO for razor-sharp cornering and aggressive race positioning.

Its SmartFormed 6069 frame weighs just 1150 grams, and relies on the most advanced aluminum manufacturing in the world. A complex mix of hydroforming, mechanical shaping, taper-butting, double-pass smooth welding and heat treating produce a frame that is both lighter and stronger.

The stays have been designed in SPEED SAVE format, with a flattened shape and internal butting adding to vertical flex, yet keeping lateral and torsional stiffness. This lets the rear wheel track the ground, improving speed, cornering, grip and comfort.

The fork also has a SPEED SAVE design, and at 360 grams features a 1 1/8" - 1 1/4" tapered steerer and offset dropouts, allowing for more fork angle and compliance without affecting handling. The SPEED SAVE fork is tuned to work in conjunction with the SPEED SAVE stays as a micro-suspension system.

Sitting on top of the frame is a Fi'zi:k Arione CX saddle on a Cannondale proprietary seatpost: the C2 (27.2x300mm). Mavic Aksium rims and hubs keep you rolling on Mavic Aksion folding tires.

Aspiring racers, fast club riders and anyone else looking for a high-performance alternative to carbon - You have found your bike.
