Not much between the two performance wise. I rode the Cadence every day for a couple of weeks before switching back to the Absolu. The Cadence feels a bit less compliant giving a more immediate road feel, while the Absolu is super smooth over rough roads. Both frames share the same rear triangle but still the ride feels quite different.
The Cadence makes a great race bike, it feels stiff and nimble. The Absolu is more refined and comfortable.
I rode both of them with the Shamals.
