Cannondale CAADX Sora Cyclocross Bike 2016

Cannondale CAADX Sora Cyclocross Bike 2016

All of Cannondale's bikes are incredibly versatile for this year, but none more so than the Cannondale CAADX Sora Cyclocross Bike 2016. The geometry is race orientated without being extreme; the bike is light, stiff and comfortable as well as incorporating rack and fender mounts; whilst disc brakes give you all weather dependable stopping power. Ultimately, this makes the bike equally at home on the race course at the weekends as it is tackling your daily commute during the week. You could even don some slicker tyres and rack up some winter training miles, the possibilities really are endless.

The CAADX gains versatility over the SuperX with its longer head tube giving you a slightly more relaxed and upright position for all day comfort by taking the pressure off your lower back, as well as improving handling.

The superb technology in the SuperX is not ignored though. The CAADX uses the Save Stay design of flattened shape and refined butting of certain tubes to provide vertical compliance for comfort whilst simultaneously enhancing lateral rigidity where it is required to give you the response you want when you put the power down.

Once you are done on the race course, the mounts for full fenders or rear racks means you can equip yourself for commuting in as much comfort as possible even when the weather turns.

Whatever riding you decide to do on your CAADX Sora, the cable actuated disc brakes will give you inspiring confidence. This comes from their excellent all modulation and dependable all weather performance.

You should be excited by the new terrain that this CAADX is going to open up for you to explore or race over.
