Cannondale Slice Black Inc. Triathlon Bike 2016

Cannondale Slice Black Inc. Triathlon Bike 2016

Too often Triathlon and Time Trial bikes are either aerodynamic or easily adjustable, but rarely both. But this Cannondale Slice Black Inc. Triathlon Bike 2016 is that rarest of breeds. Not only this, but it is also mind-blowingly light, comfortable, stable and precise to give a bike that is designed for use in the real world and not just a lab.

The BallisTec carbon technology has been perfectly used to give the lightest triathlon frame on the market at just over 1020 grams. This translates into superb climbing and acceleration which you can really benefit from on the road.

Commonly it is accepted that you will be uncomfortable on this aerodynamically styled type of bike. Not here though with the Aero Save micro-suspension system allowing you to be comfortable enough to get the maximum out of yourself. Cannondale achieves this with supremely thin Naero Tech seatstays and AeroPlane twisting planar chainstays in conjunction with the offset dropout Aero SAVE fork to prevent you from being affected by road buzz or lumps.

The wind tunnel tested aerodynamics start with the Truncated Aero Profile tube shapes that cheat the wind without being heavy or floppy. There is also the Pressure-drag reduction channel behind the seat tube reducing pressure drag from the gap between the rotating wheel and the frame.

Cannondale have taken the stress and hassle out of travelling with, and unpacking, your Slice with direct mount Shimano brakes, normal cable routing, standard stem and steerer as well as vertical rear dropouts.

So whether you are looking to save real time and effort during the bike leg of your triathlon or Ironman, or just looking to obliterate the opposition in a time trial, then the Cannondale Slice Black Triathlon Bike 2016 is the ultimate bike for you.
