We've mentioned aero efficiency, but how does the new machine stack up with weight and compliance? Attaching standard stems is still possible thanks to a few shims, which were less finickity than I had imagined to set up. The new 'Delta Steerer' is no longer round, but a triangular design which allows cables to pass either side of the steerer. The new Cannondale is undoubtedly sleek - but the American brand has also implemented lots of improvements and changes beyond what meets the eye.Ĭannondale has also taken a new approach to internally routed headsets. The product of all this redesign is a much more refined-looking machine, which Cannondale claims saves 17 watts at 45kph when compared to the previous generation. One touch I personally love is the fork blade - the through-axle is only visible on the side it's tightened from, which makes for such a clean look. Cannondale says the design is the result of hours of wind tunnel testing and the use of computational fluid dynamics - software that can cycle through hundreds of virtual designs and test them for aerodynamic efficiency.
