Latest incarnation drags the SuperSix kicking and screaming into the aero age
Cannondale has finally revealed the highly anticipated update to its all-rounder road bike, the SuperSix EVO. And it’s a radical departure from the previous, classically slim-tubed race machine launched back in 2015.
The SuperSix EVO has been hailed as the standard by which all other road bike handling and geometry has been measured. It’s a platform with a long history and an even longer palmarès. So how do you improve on that?
The new SuperSix EVO started life when Cannondale’s design team (the same people responsible for the aero SystemSix) sat down to sketch out their take on a modern race bike. This was, in their words, a completely separate project. But as work went on it became obvious this new platform was destined to fill a SuperSix-sized hole in Cannondale’s range. Making the new bike even better created specific engineering challenges as the team aimed to decrease frame weight while increasing comfort, keeping the characteristic EVO handling, making it mechanic friendly, developing proportional sizing, reducing aerodynamic drag and adding features such as thru-axles and other peripheral hardware.
