Cannondale CAAD Optimo Disc 105 Road Bike 2018

Sitting at the top of the Cannondale CAAD Optimo range is the Cannondale CAAD Optimo Disc 105 Road Bike 2018. Comprising of the same lightweight, stiff aluminium frame and geometry as its bigger brother, this bike is ready for anything, but there’s a few components that set it apart from the Tiagra version.

The frame is constructed from Cannondale’s SmartForm C2 Aluminium construction that’s lighter and provides a greater ride feel than many of Cannondale’s main competitors, and Cannondale’s Elite Race Geometry provides the same ride performance, alongside race handling as the CAAD12 and SuperSix EVO - making this bike ideal for training and first timers looking for a bit more performance.

SAVE is just one technology that has trickled down to the Optimo Disc Tiagra has in-store, and due to specifically engineered flex zones in the rear triangle and fork, the bike can absorb more shock and road vibrations for better comfort and control.

Integrated mudguard and pannier rack mounts add to the bike's versatility, allowing you to strap on your gear and head out for weekend-long adventures, without the worry of having to leave something behind. This also makes it ideal for commuting/wet weather training.

Cannondale have incorporated Shimano 105, 5800 11-speed gearing into the CAAD Optimo Disc 105, and it provides you with a wider range of gearing to test yourself on a vaster variety of terrain. Whether you’re trying to get to work quicker or you’re training early morning on the hills, Shimano 105 5800, 11-speed has you covered.

Tektro Spyre C cable disc brakes are also another area where the Optimo excels. Their disc frames were designed specifically around the advantages of disc brakes, and therefore work alongside Tektro to create better modulation and control - this means disc brakes on the Optimo don't just offer more stopping power, they offer better stopping power as well.

Finished with a range of capable and durable components such as a Cannondale Stage Ergo saddle, a Cannondale C3 seatpost and a Cannondale C3 handlebar, the Cannondale CAAD Optimo Disc 105 Road Bike 2017 is the ideal road bike for anyone looking to step into the world of cycling, or for experienced riders looking for a highly-durable winter training bike.
