The Cannondale CAAD Optimo 2 delivers a true taste of race-bred performance without the premium price tag. Drawing on the same DNA that powers Cannondale’s pro-level SuperSix EVO, the Optimo brings exceptional agility and comfort to everyday road riding.
At its heart is a SmartForm C2 Alloy frame, engineered for stiffness and efficiency while keeping weight low. Cannondale’s SAVE rear triangle subtly absorbs vibrations, improving comfort on longer rides without dulling road feedback. A >full carbon fork complements the frame’s precision handling, providing smooth, predictable steering and reducing road buzz.
Shifting is handled by Shimano Tiagra’s 10-speed groupset, offering slick, dependable performance for everything from steep climbs to sprint finishes. The FSA Omega compact chainset pairs perfectly with a himano 11-32T cassette, giving a versatile gear range that’s equally suited to challenging club routes or fitness training rides.
Stopping power comes from Promax RC-476 dual-pivot calipers, offering consistent and balanced braking control. Rolling beneath you, the RS 3.0 wheelset is lightweight yet durable, wrapped in Vittoria Zaffiro 700x25c tyres for all-round grip and dependability on mixed road surfaces.
Finishing touches like fender mounts make the CAAD Optimo 2 a practical choice for UK conditions, while Cannondale’s own alloy finishing kit keeps weight low and performance high.
Whether you’re upgrading from your first road bike or looking for a capable training companion, the Cannondale CAAD Optimo 2 offers race-winning pedigree and real-world value — the perfect gateway to faster, more confident road cycling.
