Cannondale SuperSix 2012When the Supersix was launched four years ago it rewrote the standard for carbon road performance. As BikeRadar put it " whether you're an aspiring racer, you're about to tackle your first sportive or you just want a bike with a sublime balance of speed and comfort, this could be the bike for you". This is a bike that has grabbed award after award and little wonder - the SuperSix is a bike that climbs brilliantly, offers razor sharp handling and responsiveness, but is super smooth to leave the rider fresh over long days in the saddle. " A fine bike with a beautiful blend of stability, comfort and responsiveness. I have seldom ridden a machine this good. It is beautifully constructed with some good lateral thought and simple but effective engineering" RoadCyclingUK Click here to skip technology background and go straight to bikes. |

Cannondale SuperSix 2012 - HighlightsLIGHT AND STIFF Lightweight with great lateral and torsional stiffness but with an incredible road feel and liveliness often lost in carbon frames. The co-cured monocoque front triangle with optimised carbon layup, rear stays and size-specific alloy-faced full carbon dropouts are each molded as a single piece with precise radius-matched interfaces. Precise radius matching allows for maximum contact and support with the mating surface. The parts are joined by co-curing/carbon overwrapping. A more complex and expensive process, co-curing creates lighter, stiffer and stronger structures than the lugged or internal lugged junctions found on many other carbon frames. OVERSIZED TUBESETS - the oversized 61mm diameter down tube is rounded where it meets the BB for maximum torsional stiffness, while the laterally ovalised top tube for increased rigidity while cornering and sprinting. The massively oversized BeatBox BB area delivers torsional rigidity needed to turn the twisting loads from the cranks into forward momentum. ASYMMETRIC CHAIN STAYS - the driveside chain stay is oversized and shaped to resist the axial loads of the drivetrain, while the non-driveside chain stay has optimised material placement for weight saving and power transfer. HOURGLASS SEAT STAYS - allow the vertical compliance necessary to maintain confident control over less-than-perfect surfaces, and the comfort required to be able to deliver maximum performance after long days in the saddle. DEEP RADIUS HEAD TUBE - increases the cross section of the crucial top tube/down tube/head tube junction for incredible torsional rigidity, and positions the lower headset bearing in line with the down tube for added strength. Molded carbon headset cups replace aluminium for weight savings. TAPERED STEERER FULL CARBON FORK - the full carbon fork with a 1-1/8" to 1-1/2" tapered carbon steerer provides incredible strength and maximum torsional stiffness for precise steering and wicked sprinting. BB30 SYSTEM - found on all SuperSixes, BB30 is the epitome of System Integration. Cannondale invented the BB30 standard 10 years ago to take crank and frame performance to the next level. Now an industry standard, BB30 is still the best combination of light weight, stiffness, and ankle/heel clearance. " Pro racing heritage shows in the poise and handling of the brilliant frameset" Bike Radar " Very good frame and strong spec make for a fast and lively ride; impressive value for money " RoadCC "Multi award winning SuperSix offers lightweight, quality and comfort.
