Cannondale Road Bikes - What Kind of Rider Are You?

Before purchasing a new bike, it is important to know what kind of rider you are. The type of rider you are determines which bike and accessories fit you best. Now most road riders fit into one of four categories: cyclocross rider, elite road rider, performance road rider, and the multisport rider.

1. Cyclocross Road Rider: If you like the fall chill and a mud covered bike, this is you. The cyclocross rider loves the Cannondale Cyclocross series. The frame is light weight and all aluminium, which helps make it a true multi purpose bike.

2. Elite Road Rider: If you daydream of riding the best climbing bike all the way to the top of the Tourmalet or racing ahead on a super efficient bike, then you are an elite road rider. There are more bikes to choose from in this category, which is the Six, SuperSix, and Caad9.

The Six line is the bike of choice for racers world wide. They are full carbon and have the pro-Tour features that the other Elite bikes have.
The SuperSix is constructed entirely of HI-MODulus, unidirectional carbon fiber that delivers a precise and efficient ride when it really counts.
The last line for the elite rider is the CAAD9 line. It is an aluminium bike that mixes comfort with race winning characteristics.

3. Performance Road Rider: The performance rider demands high performance with high comfort as well. The recommended bike for this group is the Cannondale Synapse, which is ultra comfortable and has a variety of frame materials and paint jobs to choose from.

4. Multisport Road Rider: Finally, the multisport road rider has Kona to think of. For this group, the Cannondale Slice is the way to go. Its race proven design puts the rider in a lower position allowing minutes to fall off of their best times.
