Cannondale SuperSix EVO 5 – Carbon Road Bike with Shimano 105 Di2

The Cannondale SuperSix EVO 5 is a high-performance carbon road bike designed for cyclists seeking speed, aerodynamic efficiency and precise handling.

Built around the advanced SuperSix EVO Carbon Gen 5 platform, it combines a lightweight aerodynamic frame with the Shimano 105 Di2 12-speed electronic groupset and Vision TC45 carbon wheels.

This configuration is designed for climbing, fast road rides, demanding training sessions and competitive racing.

SuperSix EVO Carbon Gen 5 Frame: Lightweight and Aerodynamic

At the heart of the Cannondale SuperSix EVO 5 is its fifth-generation carbon frame, engineered to combine low weight, stiffness and reduced aerodynamic drag.

The frame features optimized tube profiles, integrated internal cable routing and race-oriented geometry designed to deliver responsive and precise handling.

It also incorporates a 68 mm BSA threaded bottom bracket, 12 mm thru-axles and a UDH-compatible derailleur hanger.

Advanced Aerodynamics with Delta Fork Design

The SuperSix EVO Carbon Gen 5 fork features Cannondale's Delta steerer design, allowing internal cable routing while reducing bulk around the front of the bicycle.

This solution creates a clean, aerodynamic cockpit without compromising the steering precision expected from a performance road bike.

Shimano 105 Di2 12-Speed Electronic Shifting

The Cannondale SuperSix EVO 5 is equipped with the Shimano 105 Di2 12-speed electronic groupset, designed to deliver fast, accurate and consistent gear changes.

The drivetrain includes a Shimano 105 Di2 R7150 rear derailleur, Shimano 105 Di2 R7170 front derailleur and Shimano 105 Di2 R7170 shift/brake levers.

The Shimano 105 R7100 52/36T crankset, paired with an 11-34T cassette, provides a versatile gear range for flat roads, rolling terrain and challenging climbs.

Vision TC45 Carbon Wheels with 45 mm Rim Depth

The Vision TC45 I23 carbon wheels are one of the key highlights of the SuperSix EVO 5 specification.

Featuring a 45 mm aerodynamic rim depth and a 23 mm internal rim width, they are designed to balance aerodynamic efficiency and confident handling.

The bike comes equipped with Schwalbe One TLR 700x28c tires, which are tubeless ready.

Cannondale C1 ConcealBar Carbon Cockpit

The Cannondale C1 ConcealBar carbon handlebar is paired with the Cannondale C1 Conceal aluminum stem, creating an aerodynamic cockpit with concealed cables.

The handlebar features a 40 mm flare, 80 mm reach and 130 mm drop, with handlebar width varying according to frame size.

This setup supports an efficient racing position and precise control during demanding road rides.

Shimano 105 Hydraulic Disc Brakes

The SuperSix EVO 5 features Shimano 105 R7170 hydraulic disc brakes with 160 mm Shimano CL700 Centerlock rotors at both the front and rear.

The braking system delivers consistent stopping power and modulation, particularly useful on descents and in changing riding conditions.

Comfort and Control with Fizik Vento Antares R7 Saddle

The Fizik Vento Antares R7 saddle features an ergonomic design with a central cutout to help reduce pressure in sensitive areas.

The Cannondale C1 Aero 40 Carbon V2 seatpost completes the build, maintaining an aerodynamic profile consistent with the frame design.

Proportional Response Geometry and Clearance for 32 mm Tires

Cannondale Proportional Response technology uses size-specific frame engineering, adapting geometry and carbon construction to different frame sizes.

The frame also offers a maximum stated tire clearance of 32 mm, maintaining at least 4 mm of clearance on each side.

This allows riders to choose wider tires than the standard 28 mm setup, provided they meet the manufacturer's compatibility requirements.

Who Is the Cannondale SuperSix EVO 5 For?

The Cannondale SuperSix EVO 5 is ideal for performance-oriented cyclists looking for a carbon road bike with electronic shifting and carbon wheels.

It is well suited to gran fondos, demanding training sessions and competitive road racing, combining aerodynamics, lightweight construction and versatility.
