2014 Cannondale Slice RS 3 Ultegra Review | Finish Line Bikes

This Clock-Crushing Aero Sled Takes the "Narrower is Faster" Concept to New Extremes




With Cannondale's slippery carbon frame that is nearly invisible viewed from the front and that smooths the road for even more free speed and top comfort with their AERO SAVE stays. You also get their high-tech external-steerer carbon fork that hides from the wind, Vision's aero wheels with fine Schwalbe tires, a precision Shimano drivetrain and trick Cannondale brakes hidden from the wind. Plus, this wind-cheater boasts FSA bars, a carbon seatpost and Fizik's Arione Tri2 seat so that you can find your perfect aero tuck to blow by the competition on your way to the podium.


Based on the concept that Narrow is Aero, everything on the Slice RS, from the radical steerer-less fork to the windshadow brakes to that crazy looking seat post, is designed to minimize the surface area presented to the wind.

It works so well that the Slice RS can save up to 20 seconds in 40k compared to our competition. And with features like our AERO SAVE anti-vibration technology, and CFit modular fit system, it’s a time-slicing machine that’s as comfortable as it is aero.






Cannondale SliceFEATURES:
 
Cannondale's Slice aero frame features a wind-cheating elliptical down tube and their Speed Shadow seat tube that tucks the rear wheel neatly into the tube’s slipstream for awesome aerodynamics. The frame also boasts sleek aero seatstays with bends to damp road vibrations so you feel great as you set new personal records.




BB30BB30 is an oversize bottom bracket standard that boosts stiffness and decreases weight. BB30 bottom bracket bearings are pressed directly into compatible frames, meaning there are no heavy external cups to thread in. And, BB30 cranksets feature 30mm-diameter spindles (standard spindles are smaller) for greater pedaling efficiency and increased power transfer.




Cannondale's AERO SAVE stays create a micro suspension system that allows the rear wheel to track the ground, improving comfort, control, traction and handling. Designed to help European pros carry speed over cobbled roads, this system allows the bike to roll faster, accelerate better and corner harder without affecting pedaling efficiency so your ride is both faster and more enjoyable.
