Cannondale CAAD14 3

The Cannondale CAAD14 3 sets the standard for what you can expect from an aluminium road bike. This model combines low weight with direct power transfer, allowing you to tackle every bend with confidence. Thanks to its high-quality finish and focus on speed, you will experience handling characteristics normally found only on expensive carbon frames.

High-quality aluminium frame and sleek geometry
The CAAD14's frame is made of SmartForm C1 Premium Alloy that creates a lightweight yet stiff construction for optimal performance. The geometry is designed for speed and control, with the full-carbon fork effectively absorbing vibration from the road surface. Thanks to the integrated cable routing, the bike not only looks sleek but also catches less wind. The thru-axles increase frame stiffness, which you will notice immediately as you accelerate for a sprint or steep climb.

Reliable Shimano 105 groupset and hydraulic disc brakes
The Shimano 105 R7100 drivetrain gives you 24 gears so you can always find your preferred rhythm on flat terrain as well as in the mountains. With the compact 50/34 crankset and 11-34 cassette, you have a great range for smooth climbing on challenging rides in the Alps or Ardennes. Shimano’s hydraulic disc brakes deliver consistent braking power in all weather conditions so you are always in full control during fast descents on dry or wet roads, which increases your safety and confidence on the bike significantly.

Reliable wheelset and comfortable finish
The Cannondale RD 2.0 Disc rims and Shimano hubs are built for durability and everyday use. For this CAAD road bike, Cannondale selected Vittoria Zaffiro tyres with a width of 28 mm; they offer a great balance between low rolling resistance and high comfort on rough road surfaces. The Prologo Nago saddle and Vision Trimax handlebars make for an ergonomic riding position on long days in the saddle. The grippy handlebar tape with 3.5 mm thickness offers excellent cushioning to help prevent hand fatigue on rough roads.
