Are We Getting A New Cannondale Supersix?

[Dan Gerous]

For me, geo change seems good. 3mm higher stack and 3mm shorter reach in size 54 so I can get closer to fully slammed, maybe a slightly longer stem depending on the bar's reach. Slammed is a good thing with those headset spacers!

Fork rake for a 54 though goes from 4.5 to 5.5 but with a slacker headtube angle, same trail value. Wheelbase grows too, should be very stable at high speed...

I could live with that change on my size but 15mm taller for the 58cm frame is bulls--t. I though this was meant to be a race bike...

Maybe it's having Damon Rinard who was at Cervélo... these bikes had realllllllly long headtubes, fine for old rich dentists but maybe not the best for more aggressive, fit riders and racers...

Or it's from the fit data of the Guru bike fit system? Let's face it, most consumers ride with a lot of headset spacers but at least you had to option to get lower.

Would still get the Ultegra one if it looked better.
Looking forward to all the tech.
Cannondale R&D usually give great insight.

The geometry is more aggressive, so sad to see that. I can't find my size.

No it isn't. In a 58cm frame -->

SuperSix Evo Gen 3: Stack = 594mm. Reach = 395mm
SSE Gen 2: Stack = 584mm. Reach = 399mm
SSE Gen 1: Stack = 577mm. Reach = 399mm
CAAD9: Stack = 579mm. Reach = 399mm

Gen 1 SSE is almost identical to the CAAD9. The later two generations of the SSE have got taller and in the latest 3rd gen shorter in reach!

For the new one to fit me I'd need it slammed with a -17 110mm stem . At the moment my CAAD9 is slammed (on a #slamthatstem bearing cover) with a -6 stem (100mm)

I'm also a 58, and I don't like the slack seat tube angle paired with the proprietary seatpost that appears to only be offered in a setback version. I ride tilted forward and with low bars, usually using a zero setback post, so this bike is off my list.

First UK store I've seen with them:

https://www.7hundred.co.uk/56534/premiu ... black.aspx

And... Cannondale gave them a smack down and they pulled down the 2020 bikes... well at least until tomorrow!

(Good find with some good info while it lasted though)

They eventually made a no setback seatpost for the SystemSix, they'll sell a lot more Evos and CAAD13s than SystemSix so hopefully they thought of that and will have a zero setback post available from the start.

I hope so too. Upgrading the seatpost from aluminum to carbon and 0-setback would be the first upgrade I'd make to the CAAD13.

No more 25.4mm seatpost??

Physics schmysics.... I’ll never be throwin’ a leg over something that’s butt ugly.

You & me both

30w is huge, even at 30mph, even for amateurs! Yes most don't ride at these average speeds, but we do go faster than that sometimes during rides

It is true I do go that fast & faster every day on my rides but....by that point I am usually not even pedaling

[wrenegade]

from looking at Cannondale's own aero data from a few pages back it's a bit disappointing to see that Cervelo was able to make the R5 as fast as it is with a pretty traditional looking frame. I was hoping Cannondale might be able to do something similar albeit with a flatter top tube and fully integrated cables.

This thing surely is fast, especially as a disc model, but it's unfortunately not something I think I'd be interested in buying since is both pretty unnattractive and not particularly light. If this thing builds up to ~7kg, and a Venge can be built up to ~7.2kg or so in a similar size, but is quite a bit faster, I'd rather go full aero. Maybe it's irrational, but I'd give up 10w for 200-300g and hopefully a more traditional looking frame, just with the modern clean integration. I can't wrap my head around going from a 6.3kg bike to over 7kg. Oh well, guess I'm holding onto my '14 SS Evo for a while longer.

For me, Cannondale just cannot get the colour and graphic design right. It's all wrong. Not complementary to the frame shape at all.

Not for me

Oh dear. Just saw a photo of one of these on a shop floor with mechanical and it's sooooooo hard for me to understand how you can buy one of these bikes with the sleek integrated front end (whether EVO3, SystemSix, etc) and then ruin it with mechanical cables... I die a little bit inside each time I see this.

So I am probably having a senior moment here, but in comparing the geometry charts for a 56cm EVO1 (I have a 2015 EVO) and the new EVO3, it seems that the EVO3 has 3mm more BB drop (vertical distance between dropouts and BB) AND a 3mm higher BB height (distance between ground and BB). Unless I am missing something, isn't this impossible?

Tire height aside, dropout height (distance between ground and dropouts) is not something framebuilders can choose - it is the same for all 700C bikes. So all you can really choose is the BB height in relation to this fixed dropout height.

If you lower the BB, you increase BB drop (and make for a more stable, but perhaps sluggish handling bike) but now you have greater risk of pedal strikes, particularly with longer crankarms or wider spindles/Q-factor.

If you raise the BB, you decrease BB drop (and make for a less stable, but perhaps more nimble handling bike) and you have less risk of pedal strikes.

If all that is correct, how can you lower the BB 3mm (relative to the dropouts) and then have 3mm more clearance between the BB and the ground?

[Calnago]

That’s why I really put a lot more weight on BB drop than BB height, which some manufacturers use. BB drop is not dependent on tire size. BB height is, so you can’t say “Tire height aside...” when discussing BB height. Theoretically you could increase BB drop and, by putting some stupid fat tire on, increase BB height if the difference in tire size is greater than the increase in BB drop.

Looks pretty bad like that
