2011 Cannondale CAAD10

The 10th generation is here. CAAD has a long heritage with Cannondale, and the newest version is the best yet. Cannondale Advanced Aluminum Design (CAAD) stems from the basic principle that technology and advanced manufacturing technique will make a faster, smoother, lighter… better bike. This is no exception. The CAAD10 is a major departure from the CAAD9 that has been on the market for a few years. Cannondale has incorporated the SAVE technology found in the Synapse series to make CAAD10 more comfortable and better handling on the road. They also took a tapered steer tube design to increase handling and stability similar to the SuperSix. The new top tube is absolutely massive! Stiffness, lightweight, yadda yadda. Who says aluminum is dead? Long live the CAAD!
