Cannondale Bikes - What you need to know !


Cannondale Bikes 

A legend re-born

For much of the 1970s, 80s and 90s, Cannondale bikes occupied a particular niche in the American bike market owing to their distinctive outsized aluminium frames. With a cult following, the large aluminium tubing provided the super-lightweight and stiff geometry loved by a particular generation of road and mountain bikers. 


 
Began in Connecticut, Cannondale started out in 1971 as a manufacturer of backpacks and bags before branching out with their highly distinctive bikes.

Since coming under new ownership, Cannondale continue to make distinctive, technologically-advanced bikes. The aluminium frames are now complimented by carbon fibre and composite materials, and their wide range of mountain and road bikes are admired for their sleek, hi-tech looks, top-quality components and their capable performance. 
 
Cannondale mountain bikes have captured 11 World Championships, 17 World Cup Series overall titles, 16 National Championships, and two Olympic medals as well as overall victory in the Cape Epic stage race.


 
The company's road racing bikes have won 11 stages at the Tour de France, 27 stages at the Giro d'Italia, two Giro d'Italia overall victories, a Professional World Championship title, and two Italian National Championships.


 
In pioneering the unique ‘Lefty’ fork, Cannondale added to the distinctiveness of their strong mountain bike product range, which includes the mighty Claymore, versatile Cannondale Trail and agile Flash.
In keeping with the heritage of the brand, Cannondale road bikes including the Synapse, Slice and Supersix, all cut a distinctive dash.

Wheelies also stock a wide range of ultra-modern Cannondale helmets, pumps, computers, lights, bags and tools.
