This is for the core—the local heroes, the crit assassins, the working-man racers with chiseled legs and dreams of glory, because they know that when it comes to pure performance for the buck, nothing can touch CAAD12. Lighter, stiffer and smoother than most carbon frames, it’s not just the finest alloy racing bike ever made, it’s the only choice for those who know.
Lighter, stiffer and smoother riding than many carbon frames, CAAD12 is simply the most sophisticated, highest performing aluminium race bike ever made.
THE ALUMINIUM EXPERTS
After more than three decades of pioneering innovation, no one does aluminium like Cannondale. Nothing is lighter, stiff er and smoother than CAAD12’s SmartForm C1 Premium Construction.
LIGHT MAKES RIGHT
At under 1100 grams (for both rim brake and disc versions) CAAD12 wipes the tarmac with a lot of premium carbon frames.
SMOOTH LIKE OVERSIZED ALUMINIUM
CAAD12’s SPEED SAVE Micro-Suspension delivers a ride quality that even competing carbon bikes can’t match.
EXPLOSIVELY STIFF
With its oversized BB30a bottom bracket junction, asymmetric chainstays and flared Delta seattube, CAAD12 is a sprinter’s dream.
POINT AND SHOOT HANDLING
With its stiff and smooth-riding frame and Elite Race geometry, CAAD12 handles like a slot car.
Racers, fast club riders and anyone else looking for a high-performance alternative to carbon.
A flat back for flat out speed. Elite Race Geometry for a responsive and nimble ride in all handlebar positions to set you up for the win.
Our most premium alloy construction, Flow-Modeled Design and high-strength 6069 aluminium for the ultimate in aluminium performance.
One-piece, BallisTec carbon fork. Continuous carbon fiber construction from dropout to top of steerer delivers great structural integrity. Crownrace-less design saves weight and improves fiber path for amazing strength-to-weight. The Hi-MOD version weighs just 290 grams. Disc Brake CAAD12 uses our proven full carbon disc fork, with post mount.
Sculpted and flattened seatstays and chainstays flex to absorb shock.
CAAD12’s minimalist flat-mount disc mounts are not only ultra light but also incredibly strong. They’re such an advantage that we patented the design!
For increased stiffness, the seat tube flares to a large ovalized section where it meets the wide BB30a bottom bracket shell.
