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.

computers, lights, bags and tools.
