Cannondale CAAD 12 Disc Ultegra 2018 Jet Black road bike

Road bike, SmartForm C1 Premium aluminum frame, Shimano Ultegra, Mavic Aksium wheels, hydraulic disc brakes, carbon fork

The Cannondale CAAD 12 Disc Ultegra road bike is built on a lightweight 6069 duralumin alloy frame. Several technologies and patents that characterize the Cannodale brand are used in the construction of the frame.
One of them 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.
Cannondale CAAD 12 Disc Ultegra has a carbon front fork that has advanced dropouts and a specific carbon weave. Together with SPEED SAVE, a micro-suspension system is created, which allows the wheels to better cross rough surfaces, whether when riding in a sitting position or in the saddle.
Not only the construction of the frame is interesting, but also the processing of the material from which the frame is made. This technology is called SmartForm C1 Premium and it is a complex and advanced processing of duralumin. By combining the removal of excess material, optimizing the shape of the tubes, hydroforming, tapering, mechanical forming and forging, the incredible lightness and rigidity of the frame is achieved.
For the Cannondale CAAD 12 Disc Ultegra bicycle frame, attention is paid to every detail, including precise work with the thickness of the tubes and their shape. 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 Ultegra road bike is equipped with high- quality Shimano Ultegra components with 2x11 speeds. Shimano components stand out not only for their long service life, but also for shifting accuracy, low weight and perfect workshop processing.
A pair of Shimano R8020 hydraulic disc brakes will give you confidence on the descents, 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 derailleurs are mounted on a forged duralumin carrier and bring such stiffness and weight that they surpass Shimano Dura-Ace, but at the price of Ultegra.
Fast acceleration will be supported by light and reliable long-lasting Mavic Aksium Disc Centerlock wheels, entwined on steel aero spokes with light aluminum hubs with high-quality industrial bearings.
You can also rely on Schwalbe Lugano Folding 700x25c tires , which excel in universal use.
The Cannondale CAAD 12 Disc Ultegra road bike will satisfy riders with racing ambitions who are looking for a bike with a frame that is lighter, stiffer, yet more comfortable than most carbon frames, and equipped with quality components, including effective brakes that will hold them in any conditions.
