DescriptionCANNONDALE CAAD OPTIMO 2 ROAD BIKE 2022Utilising a lightweight SmartForm C2 aluminium frame with refined tube shapes, precision butting and double-pass welds, the Cannondale CAAD Optimo 2 Road Bike affords a responsive and enthusiastic ride experience. The frame also exhibits dropped seatstays and SAVE engineered flex zones to donate fatigue-reducing compliance over rough road surfaces. The full carbon fork is light, laterally stiff and damps road vibrations, and combines with the frame via Cannondale’s Elite Race geometry to ensure nimble handling and a powerful, comfortable riding position.The wheels are robust to cut down on maintenance time but are low in weight to enhance acceleration. A Shimano Tiagra 10-speed gear set up donates smooth, crisp shifting and provides ratios suitable for tackling any topography. Traditional caliper brakes are easy to operate, and stiff aluminium handlebars guarantee sharp direction changes. Mudguard eyelets on the frameset complete the package, expanding this bike’s versatility to winter training.HIGHLIGHTSA high performance road bike at an incredibly attractive price pointThe SmartForm C2 aluminium frame has refined tube profiles, precision butting and double-pass welds to deliver low weight and responsivenessDropped seatstays and SAVE engineered flex zones at the rear of the frame deliver comfort over rough surfacesA lightweight full carbon fork damps road vibrations and is laterally stiff for out-of-the-saddle effortsMudguard and rack eyelets on the frame and fork extend this bikes versatility to dedicated winter trainingElite Race geometry grants nimble handling and a powerful, efficient riding positionStrong but light wheels are reliable and fastShimano Tiagra 10-speed gears change crisply and provide plenty of ratios for rides across varied topographyTraditional caliper rim brakes are low maintenanceA 6061 alloy handlebar and stem combine to offer excellent stiffness and steering precision
