Was £4,000 • Now £2,699 | Shop Now

So light. So fast. So aero. The evolution of speed.

The 2025 Cannondale SuperSix EVO 3 has just become one of the best value performance road bikes in the UK. With the arrival of the latest SuperSix generation, this outgoing model now sits at an incredible £2,699, a full 33 percent off its original £4,000 RRP. For a bike with this level of engineering, integration, and electronic shifting, the value is almost unmatched.

This is the same SuperSix EVO platform that has defined modern race bike performance: ultra light, wind tunnel refined, and razor sharp on the road. It is built to make you faster everywhere, on climbs, on the flats, through corners, and when you are emptying the tank on the final straight.

Thanks to the new model release, it is now available at a price that opens the door to both ambitious beginners and seasoned riders looking for a serious upgrade.

Why This 2025 EVO 3 Is Such a Standout Deal

The SuperSix EVO 3 was already a benchmark for real world race performance. At this new price, it becomes something else entirely: a gateway to top tier speed without the top tier cost.

  • For beginners, it is a chance to start your road cycling journey on a bike that handles beautifully, shifts flawlessly, and gives you room to grow for years.
  • For experienced riders, it is a rare opportunity to step into a fully integrated, electronic equipped race bike without spending deep into the £3 to £5k bracket.

This is a bike that punches far above its new price point, and that is exactly why it is turning heads.

Key Features

  • SuperSix EVO Carbon Frameset. Lightweight, meticulously shaped, and aerodynamically refined for pure speed and real world comfort.
  • Shimano 105 Di2 12 Speed. Wireless electronic shifting that is crisp, consistent, and race ready.
  • DT Swiss R470 Wheels. Durable, responsive, and confidence inspiring on fast descents and tight corners.
  • Vision Trimax Aero Bars and Cannondale C1 Conceal Stem. A fully integrated cockpit with hidden cables and low drag shaping.
  • Supernatural Handling. Neutral race geometry that feels intuitive for new riders and precise for experienced racers.

Tech Highlights

  • Delta Steerer Technology. Reduces frontal area for improved aerodynamics and seamless cable integration.
  • Threaded BSA Bottom Bracket. Simple, reliable, and easy to service.
  • Tyre Clearance up to 30 mm. Comfort, control, or maximum responsiveness, your choice.
  • SmartSense Compatible. Ready for Cannondale’s integrated light and radar system.
  • Aero Bottle Integration (Optional). Designed to work with ReGrip Aero cages and Gripper Aero bottles for even more speed.

Who’s it for?

The SuperSix EVO 3 is built for riders who want speed, whether that is your first proper road bike or your next performance upgrade.

  • New riders will appreciate the stability, comfort, and confidence inspiring handling.
  • Club riders and racers will unlock the aerodynamic efficiency, stiffness, and precision that the EVO platform is known for.
  • KOM hunters and performance focused cyclists will love how efficiently it turns power into speed.

This is a bike that rewards every watt, no matter your experience level.

Race Proven Performance

The SuperSix EVO platform continues to deliver at the sharp end of UK racing.

In 2025, Wheelbase rider James “Jimmy the Blade” McKay rode a Shimano 105 Di2 equipped SuperSix EVO to victory at the Lincoln Grand Prix, one of the toughest races in the National Road Series. The brutal cobbles of Michaelgate are a proving ground for both rider and machine, and the EVO delivered.

What that win proved:

  • Shimano 105 Di2 is absolutely race worthy
  • Performance does not require a premium price tag
  • A well engineered bike plus a strong rider equals results

The same core technology that crossed the line first in Lincoln is exactly what you will find on the SuperSix EVO 3.

A Frame Built for the Future

Ultra‑Light Carbon Construction

At just 2.9kg, the Amflow PR’s carbon frame sets a new benchmark for strength‑to‑weight performance. It’s stiff where it matters, compliant where it counts, and engineered to stay composed through rough, high‑speed terrain.

Progressive Geometry, Tuned to You

Riders can fine‑tune nearly every aspect of the bike’s handling thanks to:

  • 5 head‑tube angle positions
  • 2 bottom bracket height settings
  • 4 chainstay lengths

With up to 40 geometry combinations, the Amflow PR adapts to your terrain, your style, and your ambitions. From steep, technical climbs to fast, flowing descents, the bike’s adjustable platform gives you complete control over how it rides.

Power That Feels Natural – Until You Need More

At the heart of the Amflow PR is the Avinox Drive System, available in two configurations:

  • M2 Drive Unit – lightweight, responsive, and efficient
  • M2S Drive Unit – delivering up to 150N·m of torque and 1500W peak power

Despite its massive output, the system is engineered for quiet, seamless support. With noise levels as low as 45dBA, the trail feels more alive—wind, tyres, and terrain take centre stage again.

Ride Modes for Every Moment

  • Auto Mode adjusts assistance in real time based on terrain and rider input.
  • Boost Mode unleashes full power instantly for steep climbs or technical features.
  • High‑precision sensors ensure support feels smooth, linear, and intuitive.

800Wh Removable Battery

The new RS800 battery delivers up to 158km of range and weighs as little as 4kg. Its slide‑rail mounting system and Battery Lock make swaps fast, secure, and tool‑free.

Dual‑Battery Expansion

For ultra‑long adventures, the frame supports an additional 600Wh RS600 battery. Riders can set discharge priorities and monitor each battery independently via the Control Display or Avinox Ride app.

Fast Charging, Less Waiting

The compact 12A/508W GaN charger powers the system from:

  • 0 – 80% in ~1h 36m
  • 0 – 100% in ~2h 25m

Perfect for topping up during lunch breaks or between shuttle laps.

Battery Care for Long‑Term Health

Custom charging limits (70-100%) help extend battery lifespan and reduce degradation over time.

Smart Tech That Elevates Every Ride

Offline Navigation

Import GPX/FIT/TCX routes into the Avinox Ride app and sync them directly to the bike’s display. Once loaded, the bike navigates independently—no phone required.

Apple Find My Integration

Track your bike’s location and battery level through Apple’s Find My network. A built‑in buzzer helps you locate it quickly in crowded trailheads or car parks.

Smart Heart Rate Control

Set a target heart‑rate zone, pair a monitor, and let the drive system automatically adjust support to keep you in your ideal training range.

SmoothShift

Integrated with SRAM’s electronic transmission, SmoothShift lets you change gears while coasting—keeping your cadence and flow uninterrupted.

Premium Components, Trail‑Ready Builds

The Amflow PR comes in two high‑performance builds:

Amflow PR Carbon

  • Avinox M2 Drive Unit (110–125N·m)
  • FOX Float Rhythm & FOX AWL HD Sport suspension

New Amflow PX Carbon Series Avinox M2S Motor Unveiled

Amflow PX Carbon Series: Everything You Need to Know About the New Avinox M2S Motor

Smaller, Lighter Battery |  More Range | More Power | More Fun

Shop Amflow at Wheelbase.co.uk

Every so often, an electric mountain bike launch lands with enough force to shift the entire category. For 2027, that bike is the Amflow PX Carbon. With a completely redesigned chassis, a next‑generation battery system and the debut of the Avinox M2S motor, the PX Carbon series isn’t just an update — it’s a statement of intent.

This is the lightest, quietest and most powerful full‑power e‑MTB Amflow has built, and it’s already being talked about as one of the most important electric mountain bike launches of the year.

Launch highlights:

  • 150 Nm peak torque (23% more than the previous gen)
  • 1500 W peak power with a tuneable 10–60 sec Boost Mode
  • 130 Nm sustained torque for long, steep climbs
  • 3.18 kg battery weight — over 1 kg lighter than some rivals
  • 2.59kg M2S Drive Unit
  • 45 dB noise output — one of the quietest full‑power motors
  • Dual‑engagement helical gears for smoother pickup
  • More cooling fins for better heat management

The M2S is arguably the most powerful lightweight full‑power e‑MTB motor on the market.

New 700 Wh Battery With Bigger Real‑World Range

Amflow’s redesigned battery platform delivers more range from a smaller, lighter unit.

What’s new:

  • 21% smaller than the old 800 Wh battery
  • 20% higher energy density — industry‑leading
  • Up to 144 km range (test conditions)
  • Faster charging: PX Carbon: 80% in 1 hr 16 min
  • Reduced drivetrain friction thanks to new SRAM tech

You get more range, less weight and faster charging — a rare combination in full‑power e‑MTBs

New Display, Navigation & Connectivity

Touchscreen Control System

The PX introduces Amflow’s smartest cockpit yet, centred around a responsive touchscreen display and deep integration with the Avinox Ride App.

Smart Offline Navigation

  • Import routes from third‑party apps
  • Convert historical tracks into GPX/FIT/TCX
  • Sync routes with one tap
  • Navigate without a phone connection
  • Real‑time turn‑by‑turn guidance
  • Off‑course alerts

You can finally leave your phone in your pocket and still enjoy full navigation.

Smart Heart Rate Control

Set a target heart‑rate zone, pair a monitor, and the system automatically adjusts motor output to keep you in the optimal zone — ideal for training, pacing or managing fatigue on long rides.

Smart Companion

From ride data to system diagnostics, the PX integrates seamlessly into your daily riding routine, offering convenience and intelligence at every turn.

Lighter, Quieter, More Adjustable Frame

The PX Carbon chassis has been refined for better handling and more tuning options.

What’s new:

  • 20 kg total weight (PX Carbon & PX Carbon Pro)
  • 41% less motor drag
  • <45 dB noise output (down from 48dB)
  • 40‑point geometry adjustment
  • Adjustable chainstays, linkage flip chips and headset cups
  • Mullet setup as standard, with full 29er compatibility
  • Slimmer downtube fits the largest possible battery

The PX Carbon rides like a lightweight trail bike — but climbs like a full‑power machine.

Versatile Geometry to Conquer Any Terrain

Amflow has introduced one of the most adjustable geometry systems in the category.

What’s new:

  • 5 head‑tube angle positions
  • 2 bottom‑bracket height settings
  • 4 chainstay length options
  • Up to 40 total geometry combinations

This progressive system allows riders to fine‑tune the PX for steep enduro lines, fast flow trails, long climbs or all‑day adventure riding. It’s a bike built for riders who love the art of setup — and the freedom to adapt their ride to any terrain.

The Avinox M2S Motor: A New Benchmark for Full‑Power e‑MTBs

Engineered in Every Detail

  • Max Torque: 150 Nm
  • Peak Power: 1500 W
  • M2S Drive Unit Weight: 2.59 kg

The Avinox M2S Drive Unit delivers a huge leap in performance while remaining incredibly compact. Compared to the previous generation, power density increases by 45.9% and torque density by 21.6%, giving riders more output from a smaller, lighter package.

Surging Power, Naturally Refined

Power delivery is where the M2S truly stands out. Multiple high‑precision sensors and intelligent algorithms constantly adjust output in real time, creating a natural, linear pedalling feel that avoids the abrupt surges common in older systems.

  • Auto Mode adapts assistance based on terrain and rider position
  • Boost Mode unleashes full power instantly — 150 Nm and 1500 W — for steep climbs or technical bursts

The result is a drive system that feels intuitive, predictable and incredibly capable.

 

How the M2S compares to other leading motors

• Avinox M2S: 150 Nm / 1500 W
• Avinox M1 (previous gen): 120 Nm / 1300 W
• Specialized S‑Works: 111 Nm / 850 W
• Bosch CX: 100 Nm / 750W

It’s clear: the M2S now sits at the top of the lightweight full‑power e‑MTB class.

Full‑Power Performance Without the Weight Penalty

One of the biggest achievements of the PX Carbon series is how it blends full‑power output with lightweight handling.
At 20 kg, both the PX Carbon and PX Carbon Pro undercut many competitors while still delivering the torque and range expected from a full‑power system.

For context, the Specialized Levo’s motor weighs 4.38 kg — more than a kilogram heavier than the M2S. That difference is immediately noticeable on the trail. The PX Carbon accelerates faster, changes direction more willingly and feels more natural when the power is off, giving riders the best of both worlds: full‑power climbing and lightweight descending.

700 Wh Battery: Custom Cells, Higher Output

  • Rated Capacity: 700 Wh
  • Charge Cycles: 500
  • Battery Weight: 3.18 kg

The PX’s custom‑cell battery platform delivers high output with impressive efficiency. It supports super‑fast charging, allowing riders to top up during breaks and eliminate range anxiety on big days out.

Charge Fast, Ride Free

With 3× super‑fast charging, the PX can be recharged rapidly between rides — ideal for back‑to‑back laps, long weekends or multi‑stage adventures.

Smarter Tech: Navigation, Connectivity and Customisation

The PX Carbon series introduces a completely redesigned display system with a focus on navigation and connectivity. Full mapping and turn‑by‑turn navigation are now built in, with seamless Komoot integration for route uploads. Riders can customise the display layout, colours and data fields, and PX models include a SIM card for connected features such as live tracking and over‑the‑air updates.

PX Carbon vs PX Carbon Pro: Which One Is Right for You?

Both PX models share the same frame, motor and battery platform, but the builds cater to different riders.

Amflow PX Carbon Pro — £8,999

• Fox Factory Suspension
• Carbon wheels
• SRAM XO T‑Type AXS
• Magura Gustav brakes

This is the model for riders who want the very best components and maximum adjustability.

• Alloy wheels
• SRAM S1000 Eagle AXS

Amflow backs the PX Carbon series with one of the strongest warranty packages in the e‑MTB world.

Standard Warranty

• 5 years frame
• 2 years Amflow components

Save 44% | Merida Silex 8000 Di2 Gravel Bike

Merida Silex 8000 Gravel Bike

44% Off RRP | £4,800 | £2,699

GRX Di2 | Carbon Frame | Carbon Wheels

Shop Now

Every so often a deal comes along that genuinely stops you in your tracks. This is one of them. We are thrilled to offer the Merida Silex 8000 at an incredible price. Originally priced at £4800, this top tier gravel machine is now available for just £2699.

For riders who want a carbon gravel bike that blends adventure capability with cutting edge performance, the Silex 8000 is one of the most compelling platforms on the market. With its second generation redesign, updated geometry and premium component package, this is a rare opportunity to own a world class gravel bike at a truly exceptional price.

Built for the Road Less Travelled

The Silex story has always been about adventure. The original model broke away from traditional road and cyclocross influences and instead borrowed from modern MTB geometry. A long top tube, short stem and stable front end created a bike that felt confident, comfortable and incredibly capable off road. Riders and reviewers loved it, and it quickly became one of Merida’s most versatile platforms.

The latest generation builds on that success with a 1.5 degree slacker head angle, clearance for bigger volume tyres and a more refined front end. The result is a bike that feels planted on rough terrain yet still lively and efficient on long days out. It is no surprise that the Silex proved its pedigree when Matej Mohoric rode it to victory at the 2023 Gravel World Championships.

Premium Carbon Performance

At the heart of the Silex 8000 is Merida’s CF2 carbon II frame, designed for stability, comfort and durability. With five sets of bottle bosses, internal routing for dropper posts and dynamo systems, and compatibility with full luggage setups, it is built for everything from fast gravel loops to multi‑day expeditions.

The long top tube, short stem and stable front end deliver confident handling on rough terrain while maintaining the comfort and versatility the Silex is known for.

A revised fork design allows riders to switch to a suspension fork without altering the geometry. Hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors provide strong, consistent stopping power, while carbon models use CNCd aluminium Disc Cooler fins to reduce heat build up on demanding descents.

Shimano GRX825 Di2: Smooth, Fast, Reliable

Electronic shifting has become the benchmark for high performance gravel riding, and the Silex 8000 delivers with Shimano’s GRX825 Di2 groupset. With crisp, reliable shifting and a wide 48‑31 chainset paired with an 11‑36 cassette, it offers the perfect balance for steep climbs, fast descents and long rolling miles.

Hydraulic GRX820 disc brakes with 180mm rotors provide powerful, consistent stopping performance. On carbon models, the calipers sit on CNCd aluminium Disc Cooler fins, reducing heat build‑up by up to 35 percent — a real advantage when riding fully loaded or tackling long descents.

Easton EC70 AX Carbon Wheels

A bike at this level deserves a wheelset to match, and the Easton EC70 AX delivers. With a 24mm internal width and gravel‑ready strength, these carbon wheels offer fast acceleration, excellent compliance and confident handling. Paired with Maxxis Rambler 700 x 45C tyres, the Silex 8000 rolls smoothly over mixed terrain while maintaining grip and comfort.

What’s So Special?

A 44% saving on a bike of this calibre is exceptionally rare. The Silex 8000 is not just a high spec gravel bike — it is a proven platform with world championship credentials, modern geometry and a component package that will satisfy even the most demanding riders.

Whether you are planning long adventure rides, fast gravel loops or multi‑day bikepacking trips, the Silex 8000 is built to take you further with confidence and comfort.

And at £2699, it is one of the best value premium gravel bikes available anywhere.

NEW: Whyte Kado RSX V2

Whyte Kado RSX V2 2026: The Evolution of Capability

When Whyte first introduced the Kado platform, it set a new benchmark for what a full‑power eMTB could feel like—balanced, intuitive, and unapologetically capable. For 2026, the Kado RSX V2 takes that foundation and pushes it even further. This is Whyte’s most ambitious eMTB yet, built for riders who want a machine that can keep up with their imagination.

Whether you’re climbing into the clouds, dropping into technical descents, or stringing together all‑day epics, the new Kado RSX V2 is engineered to make every ride bigger, smoother, and more rewarding.

A New Standard in eMTB Control

At the heart of the RSX V2 is Whyte’s ultra‑low‑centre‑of‑gravity carbon chassis—now refined with updated layup techniques and the latest Shape.it Link V2 geometry adjust system. The result is a bike that feels planted and predictable at speed, yet agile enough to dance through tight, technical terrain.

Paired with Fox’s 2027 Float 38 Performance Elite fork and a custom‑tuned Float X Performance Elite shock, the RSX V2 delivers 160mm of controlled, supportive travel that thrives under aggressive riding.

This is a bike that encourages you to push harder, knowing it has your back.

Bosch’s Most Advanced Power System Yet

The 2026 RSX V2 arrives with Bosch’s fifth‑generation Performance Line CX motor, delivering:

  • 100Nm torque
  • 750W peak power
  • E‑MTB+ mode for adaptive, intuitive assistance

The new Kiox 400‑C 2.0″ full‑colour display is seamlessly integrated into the top tube, giving you crisp ride data without cluttering the cockpit. Power comes from an 800Wh PowerTube battery, with optional PowerMore 250Wh extender compatibility for riders who measure their rides in hours, not miles.

This is full‑power eMTB performance, refined.

Wireless Precision & Trail‑Ready Durability

The drivetrain is fully wireless thanks to SRAM’s AXS T Type 12‑speed system, delivering crisp, consistent shifts even under heavy load. Whyte’s own 155mm ISIS crank arms help reduce pedal strikes while maintaining smooth cadence on technical climbs.

A DT Swiss Hybrid H1900 wheelset handles the torque and impacts of eMTB riding, wrapped in a Maxxis Assegai / Minion DHR II combo for class‑leading grip and damping.

Stopping power comes from Magura MT7 brakes with 203mm MDR‑C rotors—reliable, powerful, and fade‑resistant on the longest descents.

Fit, Feel & Confidence

Whyte’s cockpit choices are dialled for control:

  • Race Face Turbine 800mm bar
  • Whyte 35mm stem
  • Whyte Enduro grips

The TranzX +RAD dropper offers size‑specific drop (150/170/200mm), ensuring every rider gets maximum clearance when the trail turns steep.

Everything about the RSX V2 is designed to feel natural, confident, and ready for whatever the trail throws at you.

What’s New for 2026?

The Kado RSX V2 isn’t just a refresh—it’s a meaningful evolution. Key upgrades include:

  • Fox’s latest 2027 Float 38 Performance Elite fork
  • Bosch Kiox 400‑C full‑colour 2.0″ top‑tube display
  • Bosch Gen 5 Performance Line CX motor with updated software
  • E‑MTB+ mode, 100Nm torque, 750W peak power
  • Two new colourways

These updates sharpen the Kado’s handling, extend its capability, and modernise the rider interface.

The Capability to Do Great Things

Whyte built the Kado RSX V2 for riders who want a bike that can do everything—and do it exceptionally well. It’s a machine that rewards ambition, encourages exploration, and feels just as composed on a quick after‑work loop as it does on a full‑day mountain mission.

If you can dream it, the Kado can do it.

Wheelbase Big Demo Weekend – Event Recap // Photos

What a weekend. The sun came out, the trails were buzzing, and the Wheelbase Big Demo Weekend once again brought riders together in Staveley for two brilliant days of mountain biking. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make it another hugely successful event. Seeing so many passionate, bike‑loving riders exploring the Kentmere Valley and testing the latest tech reminded us exactly why we run this weekend year after year.

A massive thank you goes out to Cube, Merida, Whyte, Yeti, Burgtec, Smith, Fox and Stashed for their support and for supplying such an impressive fleet of bikes and kit. Their teams worked tirelessly throughout the weekend to get riders set up, tuned in and ready to roll, and the event simply wouldn’t have been the same without them.

A Weekend to Remember

From the first group heading out on Saturday morning to the final ride wrapping up on Sunday afternoon, the atmosphere never dipped. Spirits were high, the sunshine stuck around, and the valley was filled with riders comparing notes, swapping stories and grinning from ear to ear as they put the latest mountain and e‑mountain bikes through their paces.

We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible guiding team. Their local knowledge, calm leadership and commitment to keeping everyone safe played a huge part in the smooth running of the weekend. Every group came back smiling, and that’s down to the guides who made sure each ride was enjoyable, well‑paced and confidence‑building.

Relive the Weekend

We captured plenty of moments across both days, and you can browse the full gallery over on our Facebook page.

We can’t wait to bring the same energy, the same world‑class brands and another huge fleet of bikes to one of the best riding spots in the country. Details to follow.

New Kids Bikes From Orbea | Kimu Range Range Overview

The All‑New Orbea Kimu Range

A fresh chapter for young riders

Orbea’s all‑new Kimu range marks one of the most exciting kids’ bike launches in years — not just a refresh, but a complete rethink of how children learn, progress and fall in love with cycling. Spanning balance‑bike beginners through to trail‑ready pre‑teens, Kimu introduces a unified platform built around confidence, progression and durability, with models that evolve as riders grow in size, skill and ambition.

“Kimu” means shoot or bud in Basque — a symbol of beginnings. True to its name, the range is designed to spark a lifelong passion for riding, giving kids the same quality, attention to detail and performance DNA found in Orbea’s adult bikes. From lightweight frames and kid‑specific ergonomics to innovative learning features and premium components, Kimu is built to support every stage of a young rider’s journey.

What’s New Across the Kimu Range

Orbea hasn’t simply scaled down adult bikes — they’ve engineered a dedicated kids’ platform from the ground up.

Purpose‑built ergonomics

Every contact point is designed for smaller bodies: narrow‑diameter grips, short cranks, supportive saddles and cockpits sized for natural posture. This makes the bikes easier to control, more comfortable and far more confidence‑inspiring.

Lightweight construction

A low bike‑to‑rider weight ratio is central to the Kimu philosophy. Alloy frames, carbon forks on higher‑end models and carefully selected components keep the bikes easy to manoeuvre, lift and accelerate — a huge advantage for young riders.

Big Wheel concept

Just like 29ers for adults, Kimu uses proportionally larger wheels for each age group. Bigger wheels roll smoother, offer more stability and help maintain speed, encouraging skill development on varied terrain.

Built to last

Internal cable routing, frame protectors, robust components and short derailleurs keep the bikes quiet, clean and protected from everyday knocks. Many models include adjustable‑growth stems and longer seatposts to extend the bike’s usable life.

Customisation

Every Kimu includes interchangeable protectors with unique designs. Kimu 16 and 20 also come with stickers and a name plate — small touches that help kids form a personal bond with their bike.

The Kimu Lineup

A complete progression from first glides to real trail riding.

 

Kimu 16 — Learning (Ages 3–6)

The perfect first bike, designed to teach balance, braking and pedalling in stages.

Kimu 16 introduces children to cycling in the most natural way possible. It begins as a balance bike, adds braking once confidence grows, and finally transforms into a pedal bike using Orbea’s clever foot‑support‑to‑crank system — all without training wheels.

NEW: CANNONDALE CAAD14 IS HERE | Not Carbon, Not Sorry

CAAD14: The Return of the Alloy King

If you know, you know. And if you know… this one’s for you.

The CAAD14 has arrived—Cannondale’s newest chapter in a story that started in 1983, when the brand lit the fuse on the aluminum revolution. Four decades later, the legend returns not as a tribute act, but as a throne reclaiming, corner‑carving, climb‑dancing reminder of what high‑performance alloy can really be. This is the bike for riders who feel the road, who want urgency in every pedal stroke, who crave that raw, electric connection that only aluminium delivers.

Carbon may dominate the pro peloton, but CAAD14 isn’t here to imitate. It’s here to celebrate the material that made Cannondale famous—big tubes, smooth welds, clean lines, and that unmistakable snap when you put the power down. It’s alive, unapologetic, and built for riders who want a bike with personality, not pretense.

The Ride: Not Carbon. Not Sorry.

CAAD14 brings back the ride quality that defined generations of Cannondale racers—explosive acceleration, razor‑sharp handling, and a sense of immediacy that makes every ride feel like a town‑line sprint.

  • Smooth yet snappy — tuned alloy that balances comfort with race‑ready stiffness.
  • Instinctive handling — the kind of precision that lets you dive inside lines and thread corners with confidence.
  • Alive under power — a frame that rewards every watt with forward motion.

This is the bike that doesn’t care about trends or coffee‑shop posing. It’s built to be ridden hard, pushed deep into corners, and unleashed on climbs.

Raw Performance, Refined Craft

CAAD14 doesn’t pretend to be carbon. It leans into what alloy does best.

  • Classic silhouette with modern shaping
  • Smooth welds that show off Cannondale’s craftsmanship
  • Clean, purposeful lines that highlight the material rather than hide it

It’s a bike that looks fast because it is fast—light, lean, and stripped of anything that doesn’t serve performance.

Frame weight: 1280g (CAAD14 1 RAW), 1410g (rest of line)
Fork weight: 397g
Max tire size: 32mm (with 4mm clearance)

Cannondale Advanced Aluminum Design

CAAD is in Cannondale’s DNA. No one has pushed alloy further, longer, or harder. With CAAD14, decades of innovation, race wins, and engineering breakthroughs are distilled into a frame that represents the pinnacle of performance aluminum.

  • Grand Tour–winning heritage
  • World Championship pedigree
  • Relentless refinement over generations

This is high‑performance aluminum as it was meant to be—responsive, durable, and unmistakably Cannondale.

Built to Last, Built to Ride

CAAD14 is designed for riders who want a bike they can trust for years of racing, training, and everyday riding.

  • Timeless design that won’t age out
  • Proven alloy construction that shrugs off real‑world use
  • Lifetime warranty because Cannondale stands behind the frame

It’s the kind of bike you’ll still be riding long after others have moved on to the next trend.

Easy to Own, Easy to Love

A performance bike shouldn’t be a maintenance headache. CAAD14 keeps things simple, serviceable, and future‑proof.

  • 68mm BSA threaded bottom bracket — reliable, creak‑free, easy to replace
  • UDH dropout — universal hanger compatibility and SRAM full‑mount readiness
  • 27.2mm seatpost — comfort, simplicity, and endless upgrade options
  • Delta Steerer — clean cable integration with SystemBar or standard stems

This is a bike built for riders who actually ride.
