The Cannondale CAAD 12 Disc Dura-Ace Road Bike is a top-of-the-line bike with a lightweight frame made from 6069 duralumin alloy. The frame is characterized by a whole range of patents and technologies that give it rigidity while maintaining a low weight.
The frame is made with SmartForm C1 Premium technology, which is one of the most advanced and most complex in the field of duralumin processing. By combining the removal of excess material, optimizing the shape of the tubes, hydroforming, tapering, mechanical forming and forging , an incredible lightness and rigidity of the frame is achieved. Another technology is SPEED SAVE, which works primarily through the balance between the rear frame triangle and the fork. The main idea is that the tube on the rear frame triangle is capable of vertical bending and thus absorbs shocks.
The second part of the SPEED SAVE system focuses on rider comfort. The seat tube has directionally optimized weaving of carbon layers, which allows it to be slightly deflected forward and backward. Here , vibrations are dissipated and shocks are reduced. In this combination, the frame is sufficiently rigid in the lateral direction, but at the same time it provides the rider with sufficient comfort even during long trips and thus delays fatigue.
Cannondale CAAD 12 Disc Dura-Ace has a front fork made of carbon with advanced dropouts and specific carbon braiding. Together with SPEED SAVE , a micro-suspension system is created, which allows the wheels to better cross rough surfaces, either when riding in a sitting position or in the saddle. The frame of the Cannondale CAAD 12 Disc Dura-Ace bicycle has a carefully processed thickness and shape of the tubes. The material is concentrated exactly where it is needed and at the same time every extra gram of the structure is removed. This maximizes the strength and rigidity of the frame. The Cannondale CAAD 12 Disc Dura-Ace road bike is equipped with top Shimano Dura-Ace components with 2x11 speeds. Shimano Dura-Ace is the top set of this brand and is characterized by low weight and excellent ergonomics. Furthermore, Shimano Dura-Ace stands out not only for its long service life, but also for its uncompromising shifting accuracy and perfect workshop processing.
A pair of Shimano Dura-Ace 9170 hydraulic disc brakes will provide you with certainty and almost absolute control in the SJE walls, which thanks to the Ice-Tec cooling will keep you going even on long mountain descents and retain their braking effect even in adverse weather conditions. Cannondale HollowGram Si cranks made with patented 3D technology ensure efficient power transmission. The converters are mounted on a forged duralumin carrier and provide excellent rigidity and weight. Cannondale HollowGram Si carbon rims, which are entwined on DT Swiss Aerolites aero spikes with light hubs and high-quality industrial bearings, have uncompromising acceleration and stiffness while maintaining low weight. You can also rely on Mavic Yksion Elite 700x25c tyres, which excel in universal use. The Cannondale CAAD 12 Disc Dura-Ace road bike will satisfy riders with racing ambitions who are looking for a bike with a frame that is lighter, stiffer, and at the same time more comfortable than most carbon frames and equipped with high-end components.
