Cannondale CAAD8 105 Road Bike 2016
A bike that can genuinely do it all, the Cannondale CAAD8 105 Road Bike 2016 has something to offer everyone. This would make the perfect first road bike, winter training bike for someone protecting their Super Six Evo, starting triathlon bike, commuter or general multi-purpose bike.
The frame is integral to making the Cannondale CAAD 8 so multifunctional, as it is the lightest-in-class. Having a lighter bike means you can go faster for less effort as you are not transporting any extra weight. This saves you time on the commute or over the race course, time saved is always a bonus.
Additionally, Cannondale's Heads-Up Race geometry means you can set this bike up to give you an aerodynamic and aggressive position for racing or triathlons, or take a more relaxed approach a ride for miles in comfort.
Comfort is also incorporated into the frame design with the Save Stays optimising chain and seat stay shaping to offer the vertical compliance needed to keep you feeling fresh and relaxed. These profiles simultaneously offer the lateral rigidity to power away from a set of lights, or drop your rivals at will.
This top end model is decked out with Shimano's groundbreaking 105 5800 eleven speed components for silky smooth and precise gear shifting. The Maddux RS 2.0 rims pair perfectly with Formula rim brake hubs and Stainless Steel spokes to form wheels that are durable, lightweight and responsive.
