Cannondale Super X Ultegra 2016 - Cyclocross Bike
If you’re after a purebred cyclocross race bike, the Cannondale Super X Ultegra is for you. BallisTec Carbon, Speed Save vibration technology and disc brakes combine into the ultimate race machine.
You can buy the 2016 Super X Ultegra through a 0% Tredz Finance package.
Frame & Fork
The Super X is light. In fact, it’s lighter than most road bikes thanks to the high quality BallisTec carbon composite frame material. This high strength material is also very impact resistant. An interconnecting network of stiffening fibres distribute forces more evenly throughout the frame.
A key feature is Cannondale’s Speed Save technology in the rear triangle and fork. Speed Save eliminates vibrations in the rear triangle with the use of flattened chain and seatstays, built with a complex carbon layup. The system provides vertical compliance whilst maintaining lateral rigidity.
Speed Save works with the fork to create a micro suspension system that can absorb trail shock and vibration. That means you can keep putting the power down while your competition are forced to stand up and coast. The fork is full BallisTec Carbon.
A tapered head tube creates a stiffer junction upfront that improves steering precision. Stiffness is increased in the bottom bracket area with the BB30 for improved power transfer.
The Super X range is disc specific which allows the frame designers to engineer more compliance into the seat stays and give you extra mud clearance. A flatter profile top tube makes the cyclocross bike easier to shoulder on the run sections.
Components
New for 2016 is the Shimano groupset (both Super X models have moved away from SRAM) with hydraulic disc brakes.
The Super X Ultegra comes with a 2x11 Shimano Ultegra groupset. Ultegra offers pro level performance and is just one step down from the Dura Ace setup that elite professionals use. Ultegra matches Cannondale’s Si chainset perfectly. Si is an ultra lightweight and stiff chainset which runs on high quality bearings.
Shimano hydraulic disc brakes offer superior braking power and control through good modulation in all conditions.
Mavic Aksium disc wheels offer reliable performance in the worst weather conditions you’ll face.
