THE IMPRESSIVE FOURTH-GEN

SuperSix EVO HI-MOD models start at £8,250, so this new carbon frame provides a more affordable option. While the HI-MOD has an astonishingly light 770g frame (fully painted and hardware fitted, 56cm) this frame's not too much weightier, at 930g. The EVO 3 is made using a more economic carbon, but visually and design wise they are identical.

That means you'll still find all the clever details of the EVO design. Up front, for instance, is the Delta fork steerer and head-tube design. This new triangular-shaped steerer has allowed Cannondale to greatly reduce the head-tube sizing while still allowing for fully integrated cable routing.

On the more expensive models, that means Cannondale's own one-piece cockpit, but here you get Cannondale's Conceal ONE stem and Vision's brilliantly shaped Trimax aero road bar. This fully conceals the brake hose routing front and rear for a clean look that also improves the aerodynamics.
