Cannondale F-SI Hi mod Ultimate 2021 is a world-class carbon hardtail that can convey to its owners the experiences that the best mountain bike world cup riders experience every day.
FRAME
The F-Si Hi-mod Ballistec Carbon carbon frame is one of the lightest in its class, and thanks to the special layering of carbon fibers, it can boast traditionally excellent strength and stiffness. In conjunction with the brand new Lefty Ocho Carbon front fork, it can handle much more off-road than you would expect from a racing hardtail of this category. The geometry with a short rear structure, a more relaxed head angle and a large offset of the fork axis will guarantee that you won't be surprised by anything on the racing tracks.
The Hi-Mod Ballistec Carbon frame is made of light and at the same time very strong Hi-Modulus carbon fibers, which allow tuning the overall driving characteristics of the bike down to the smallest details. Compared to its predecessor, it is a full 80 grams lighter, and with a total weight of 900 grams, it is the lightest frame Cannondale has ever produced. Extreme rigidity while maintaining only a very low weight and maximum driving comfort, that's what it's all about!
The key point of the entire frame is the rear structure with the so-called asymmetrical integration of the drive. Thanks to the displacement of the drive system by six millimeters to the right, the rear structure has been significantly shortened, and thus also a significant improvement in the bike's handling both on and off-road. At the same time, this solution made it possible to maintain sufficient passability for the use of wide casings and sets with two converters. Sufficient comfort is guaranteed by the sophisticated Save Micro Suspension system, which uses directionally optimized carbon fiber weaving and enables controlled fore-aft movement of the seat tube of the frame. The seat tube and with it the entire rear frame triangle work in a vertical direction and effectively dampen vibrations and other small impacts. The result is not only better traction and higher speed, but above all a noticeable reduction in rider fatigue even on really long tracks.
FORK
The frame is completed by the brand new Cannondale Lefty Ocho Carbon front fork, which stands out for its stiffness, low weight and precise driving performance in all circumstances. All this while maintaining uncompromising steering precision, which is unparalleled in the category of cross-country forks. With a lift of 100 mm and the possibility of remote locking, it will serve great not only on racing circuits, but also on your favorite trails or anywhere else. The pronounced forward offset of the fork axis together with the lower head angle creates the so-called OutFront geometry, which provides enough stability on descents and which does not lose any of its famous agility on climbs.
GEOMETRY
The geometry of the new F-SI is defined by a very short rear structure, a significantly offset front fork axis and, last but not least, a noticeably lower head angle. Such geometry will provide enough stability even on the most demanding descents, it will surprise you with perfect traction in all aspects on exits, and at the same time it will not lose that playfulness and agility that puts a smile on your face in the terrain. Extending the reach and stack values contributes to greater comfort behind the handlebars.
EQUIPMENT
A 12-speed Shimano XTR set with a cassette with a range of 10-51 teeth takes care of fast and, above all, precise gear changes. Shimano XTR hydraulic disc brakes with rotors with a diameter of 160 millimeters on both wheels ensure precise and reliable stopping power.
The real decoration is the light and at the same time stiff wheels woven on carbon Hollowgram 25 Carbon rims. On the rims, we find Schwalbe Racing Ray and Racing Ralph tires with Snakeskin side protection and a soft Addix Speedgrip Compound. Wide carbon handlebars help maneuverability, comfort is guaranteed by a carbon seatpost and a Prologo Dimension NDR saddle with thyrox rails.
