Cannondale CAAD10 2015

“Lighter, stiffer, and smoother than many elite carbon frames”. This is the slogan of the Cannondale CAAD10 2015, the new model of the American bicycle manufacturer’s most popular aluminum frame series. CAAD10 is lightweight, stiff, and fast. Its EVO-like geometry gives you razor-sharp cornering and aggressive race positioning.

For the first time ever, this year also two disc-brake build options are available.

Cannondale is producing award-winning CAAD (Cannondale Advanced Aluminum Design) series of road bikes since 1983. It is the first United States-based bicycle producer to supply frames under its own name to a European professional team (Saeco). Saeco was a top-level European team, with the world’s fastest sprinter Mario Cipollini on the squad. Cipollini raced an “R4000” model (CAAD3) in the 1997 season.

Perhaps the Saeco team’s most memorable moments were Cipollini’s 4 consecutive stage wins in the 1999 Tour de France. The image of Mario Cipollini approaching the TV camera right after a win to say, Cannondale makes the best bikes!” propelled Cannondale’s popularity among road racing cyclists.
