Cannondale SuperSix EVO Hi-MOD Ultegra 2016 - Road Bike
Be the first past the finish with the newly re-designed Cannondale SuperSix EVO Hi-MOD Ultegra. An award-winning race design is matched to performance spec. This is a steed for serious road racers, enthusiasts and riders seeking superior carbon performance.
New for 2016
The SuperSix EVO Hi-MOD has undergone a bit of a redesign. The frame is now lighter. Improvements to the Speed Save micro-suspension offers 15% more vertical compliance in the rear stays. The fork is 21% more compliant, keeping your muscles fresher for longer.
A wider BB30A bottom bracket improves stiffness by 11% and a redesigned headtube increases front-end stiffness by 12%. A narrower seatpost offers more deflection increasing rider comfort and tube profiles have been changed to improve aerodynamics by offering a lower frontal area.
Frame & Fork
Key to the ride characteristics is the Elite Race Geometry with a low head tube, steep head angle and short wheelbase. This combines in a race bike that’s nimble in the corners and aero on the flats to slip through the air.
Cannondale’s EVO Hi-Mod BallisTec Carbon frame uses a higher proportion of high modulus fibres for a lighter frame that is just as stiff as the EVO, it’s also Di2 compatible for potential future upgrades.
To be a road race machine then lateral and torsional rigidity is essential. Upfront a tapered head tube creates a stiffer junction for precision cornering, whilst the BB30 bottom bracket area is rock solid for efficient power transfer.
To keep you in the saddle for longer the SuperSix EVO Hi-Mod comes with intelligent compliance features such as Speed Save micro-suspension. Subtle flex zones are built into the seat and chainstays which allow them to flex slightly and absorb road buzz. The BallisTec carbon composite fork also features these zones. Deflection in the fork is matched to the rear triangle for balance.
Components
Only performance level spec can match the quality Hi-MOD frame. Here you’re getting the pro level Shimano Ultegra 11 speed groupset. Cannondale’s Hollowgram Si mid compact chainset is very stiff and lightweight. A great addition is the OPI SpideRing, forged and machined from a single block of alloy to reduce weight and improve your shifting performance.
Mavic Ksyrium wheels are ideal for fast-paced road cycling. They’re lightweight and tough for eating up the miles.
Key Features :
- The best all-around road racing machine on earth.
- An amazing blend of stiffness, compliance, light weight and aerodynamics.
- Incredible handling, thanks to the tuned balance of stiffness and flex.
- Hi-MOD Ballistec Carbon - Cannondale's proprietary carbon construction method allows us to achieve extreme light weight with amazing strength, while precisely controlling flex throughout the frame for the best possible ride-feel and handling.
- Speed Save Micro-Suspension - Completely reworked flex zones in the chainstays and seatstays allow the rear wheel to track the ground, improving speed, handling and comfort. Tuned to work with the SPEED SAVE Fork. New 25.4mm SAVE seatpost and directional carbon layup in the seat tube allows additional comfort when seated. All told, the new EVO's comfort is improved by over 20%.
- All-New Speed Save Fork - Radical one-piece BallisTec carbon construction. Continuous, uncut carbon from tip of dropouts to top of steerer, 1-1/8"to 1-1/4" tapered steerer with in-molded crown race. 290 grams. 6.1% increase in lateral stiffness. 12.5% increase in compliance. Tuned to work as a system with the rear triangle.
- Delta Seat Tube - For increased stiffness, the seat tube flares to a dramatically wide, ovalized section where it meets the BB.
- Tap ( Truncated Aero Profile) Tube Shapes - Downtube, seat tube, fork blades and upper seat stays have a truncated aero profile which improves aerodynamics, without sacrificing stiffness or weight.
- Continuous Carbon - A continuous network of high modulus stiffening fibres runs around joint areas and along the outer edges of the frames tubes, connecting all parts of the frame and allowing precise tuning of stiffness and ride quality.
- 28C Tyre Clearance - The new EVO is designed to accept up to 28c tyres for reduced rolling resistance and improved comfort over rougher roads.
