Like most things Cannondale, the SystemSix is a considered beast. Cannondale have spent time and considerable resources in order to bring the absolute best aero bike to market. The SystemSix is so called because it unites 6 key elements of bike design in an integrated aero-philosophy: Frame, Wheels, Fork, Seatpost, Handlebar and Stem. Each is optimised to bring aerodynamic advantage beneficial to the complete bike system. The result is a frameset that is the fastest aero platform available today.
Not just 'by the numbers', but in real world, day-to-day, club-ride terms. Not just in a straight line; not measured purely at Pro performance levels; but in a host of environments and conditions that the average club cyclist performs at and can therefore benefit from.Its unique fully integrated design delivers more speed, in more situations, than any other bike on the market today. For race day fast. And everyday fast. It's the world's fastest bike.
This race-bred speed machine is absolutely the lowest-drag, most efficient, all-around fastest UCI-legal road bike on the market today. Not only the fastest in the windtunnel. Not only the fastest for a select few riders in a select few scenarios, but the fastest for anyone interested in going faster, just about everywhere youd want to go faster. It's free speed and it is the culmination of a multi-year, systemwide approach to efficiency and real world performance. Proving just what can be accomplished when the entire machine - not just the frame and fork - is optimized for fast. Delivering real speed, for real riders.
The Cannondale SystemSix produces the least aerodynamic drag of any road bike on the market. Because of all the resistive forces your power has to overcome to make speed, aerodynamic drag is the biggest hurdle. It is more important in most situations than all the other resistive forces (weight, rolling resistance, bearing friction, etc.) combined. Even in those few scenarios where its not THE most important thing, its still a very important aspect. So cutting drag translates into more speed, with less effort, in all the places youd expect and a lot of places you wouldnt..
Completed with Shimanos ever-reliable Ultegra Di2 Groupset, the System six provides the slick, instant shifting expected from a bike of this calibre, while the hydraulic disc brakes ensure modulated, sharp stopping power in any conditions.
Rise to Speed anywhere. The KNOTT 64s brilliance is its breadth of ability. With supernaturally balanced performance, youll find your fast on any road. The KNOTT 64s will reliably deliver performance in a variety of conditions, and theyre also just plain reliable. Strong spokes, DT Swiss hub internals, and hand-built precision mean you can go hard on any ride or in any race, season after season. High-performance tire technology has evolved, and HollowGram is here for it. Tubeless compatibility, 21mm internal widths, and hooked sidewalls are part of every package. Its all optimized around modern road tires, for that ideal blend of ride quality, aerodynamic efficiency, and low weight. Its one thing to cut through the wind. Its another thing to master it.
Condition
The bike is in fantastic condition overall with a few minor imperfections. Shifts are crisp all round with sharp braking as expected and bearings are nice an smooth across the bike.
