The Cannondale CAAD Optimo 4 delivers an authentic road racing experience for riders who want quality performance without the elite price tag. Inspired by the award-winning SuperSix EVO, it brings Cannondale’s precision engineering and responsive handling to a more accessible platform.
The lightweight SmartForm C2 Alloy frame is a masterpiece of aluminium craftsmanship. Carefully shaped tubing maximises stiffness where it counts while saving weight elsewhere, giving you an agile and efficient ride feel. Cannondale’s SAVE micro-suspension technology subtly absorbs road chatter, keeping you comfortable over long distances without sacrificing feedback or control.
Up front, the CAAD Optimo full carbon fork adds precision and confidence through corners. Its tapered steerer improves front-end stiffness, ensuring the bike responds instantly to every steering input — perfect for twisty club routes and spirited training rides.
The Shimano Claris 8-speed groupset provides reliable and easy-to-use shifting, ideal for new and progressing riders alike. Paired with the FSA Tempo compact chainset (50/34T) and an 11–30T cassette, it delivers a wide gear range for both challenging climbs and fast descents.
Braking comes courtesy of Promax RC-452 dual-pivot calipers, giving consistent power and control when you need it most. The RS 3.0 wheelset with Formula hubs and Vittoria Zaffiro tyres balances low weight with durability, offering smooth rolling and dependable grip in all conditions.
Every finishing touch, from the Cannondale 4 alloy seatpost to the ergonomic compact bars, contributes to a confident and comfortable ride position. Thoughtful extras like fender mounts make the CAAD Optimo 4 versatile enough for year-round UK riding.
Whether you’re tackling your first sportive, joining local club rides, or simply chasing speed and fitness, the Cannondale CAAD Optimo 4 gives you a true taste of race-level performance — refined, fast, and remarkably fun to ride.
