Nice bike! Once again, though, going to have to take that weight with a dose of skepticism. They didn't quite hold up to the last claim.

[spytech]

hmmm, is it really 655g?

[michel2]

nice looking rig tho !5.2 kilo wonder what thats gonna cost ...

[terminus]

ahhh! what is up with all these 10k+ grail bikes coming out!!

yep, confirmed on a scale! on a 48 size
jk btw

Looks pretty cool. We'll see about the weight. From the gist of the translation, I got that it had to do with the nano technology and perhaps the *lack* of a paintjob? French speakers chime in please

Hate to bust your balls but it was already mentioned and discussed in the 2013 Cannondale thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=104236

That's 5.2 with out pedals and cages I bet..

[leosantos]

seriously now, it's still exciting news! I bet this time it's actually gonna be <700gr for the 56 frame, and still less costly than cervelo's and other competitor's (maybe?) similarly equipped bikes. and a lot better looking imho...

just how real is that piece of news for you guys, is that publication any realiable at all? cant it be just bogus news? I dont think it is impossible at all, just a bit weird after only about a year that the evo ultimate has been on the market to make it outdated.. BTW, how do those guys get that kind o pic, a non studio shot with nothing to support the bike but even then it is perfectly straight and balanced??

[surfsjp]

It's real. I've heard it looks even better in person. Nothing outdated, just color changes for the new year.

Yes, those are definitely Enve 25s. See here: http://www.enve.com/wheels/road/25.aspx

I had a pair I just recently got rid of. Awesome wheels in the mountains - Wiggy used a pair in the Giro as well.

Would be nice, if they had a price reduction on the current evo HM and this became the new high end frame and charged the same for it (Current Evo HM). though i know it is not likely because there is an established market with people paying $10k for frames.

is this basically the frame they showed us last year when the EVo launched? they had a sub 700g frame but it didnt make it to production. i do not remember the reason why.

[leosantos]

when you say himod I guess you mean ultimate, right?

then I agree they'll keep the pricetag at around 12k usd, and it does make sense for them to discontinue the current ultimate , first because those DT wheels have been discontinued for a newer, 100 gr heavier set, and also because its spec would make even less sense at 12k from this year an next than it did last year...

I talked with my friend today whom owns an HI-MOD EVO, and I told him he should buy this one and sell me his old "heavy" one at a discount ... I know this is WW, but the money I save by doing this will allow me to go very light weight on components

More on topic, I think if anyone can pull it off it is C-Dale. I continue to be impressed with their R&D and output.
