Cannondale CAAD13 Force eTap AXS 12-Speed Disc Road Bike 2020
Billed as the finest aluminium bike that Cannondale has ever made, the new CAAD13 Force eTap AXS 12-speed Disc Road Bike is light, comfortable, delivers precision handling and is characterised by a clean, sleek look. Race-ready, the frame uses truncated airfoil tube shapes that reduce drag by up to 30%, and this is complemented by an integrated frame, fork and seatpost design that reduces clutter. The most striking feature of the new CAAD frame profile is the dropped seat stays that allow for additional flex in the seat tube and seat post to smooth out rough roads. Drag is further reduced by the addition of a new lower bottle cage mount that positions your drink out of the wind and the internal routing with a configurable SwitchPlate port on the downtube keeps your cables tidy and easy to maintain.
The frame has space to accommodate up to 30mm wide tyres that will feel plush and comfortable, and with new mudguard mounts, this is not only a bike for thrashing in a crit race but training hard through winter as well. The Force eTap model also features an integrated wheel sensor that delivers speed, distance and maintenance reminders through the Cannondale App.
Supported by SRAM's performance Force eTap AXS groupset, the 12-speed 10-33 cassette will have plenty of range for both climbing and powering the flats, and the hydraulic disc brakes are powerful regardless of the conditions, inspiring confidence on all Parcours.
