Cannondale CAADX 105 Cyclocross Bike 2018
Made by the masters of aluminium, the Cannondale CAADX 105 Cyclocross Bike 2018 is a strong choice for the enthusiastic rider, looking for the next level of performance, or, perhaps their first dedicated, purpose made cyclocross bike. With a full Shimano groupset combined with the technical advances made in Cannondale's CAAD12 frames, this bike is designed to be an all-out cross circuit wonder.
With a geometry borrowing from Cannondale's high-end SuperX collection, this cyclocross bike features an innovative micro-suspension integrated into the shaping of the rear stays, which, flattened, serve to absorb lateral shocks often incurred over the course. Providing you with a comfortable ride thanks to the greatly improved comfort of this bike, you are assured of top rate braking responsiveness thanks to a full disc setup. Flat mounts sitting to the rear of your bike and assuring you of a strong, low profile braking experience, keeping control on your technical ride is purely down to your bike handling skills. With braking performance year round, regardless of the weather, your riding is guaranteed a precision at every turn.
A tapered steerer tube for the best possible front end feel when riding, this bike responds with immediacy to your lightweight inputs through the bars. A removable seat stay mudguard mount, you have the versatility to mount up something to keep the mud off. Still perfectly suited to exploring, adventure riding, or even commuting, this bike remains a great choice for the rider looking to change things up.
With a full Shimano 105 groupset, this cyclocross bike provides a wide 11-32 tooth rear cassette alongside a 46/36 chainset, giving you both ends of the spectrum for riding hard on the flat as well as high up the hill, you have the power to get around in good shape. Rolling on Schwalbe 35c tyres for added stability, this bike is a top choice for taking the plunge into the murky world of cross riding.
