· BallisTec
Carbon
Cannondale's High Strength carbon construction method allows us to achieve extreme light weight, without sacrificing stiffness or strength.

Frame Options
· EVO
Nano: The lightest production frame on the planet utilizes advanced high
modulus BallisTec Construction and nano tech resins for maximum weight savings.
· EVO
Hi-MOD:
The frame that started it all in 2012. High modulus BallisTec construction delivers extreme light weight and stiffness.

· EVO
Carbon: By using a higher percentage of intermediate-modulus fiber to tune the
stiffness, we are able to expand the EVO line with a super high-performance,
sub-950 gram frame. Offered both with and without internal rear brake routing.
· SPEED
SAVE
Micro-Suspension Rear Stays Subtle flex zones built into the chainstays and seatstays allow the rear wheel to track the ground, improving speed, handling and comfort. Tuned to work with the SPEED SAVE Fork.

· SPEED
SAVE Fork This 315 gram fork features full BallisTec carbon
construction, an 1-1/8"to 1-1/4" tapered steerer for the best balance
of weight and stiffness, and offset dropouts, which allow for more fork angle
and compliance without affecting handling.
· Reduced
Frontal Area
Compared to the oversized competition, the EVO's downtube is close to 20% smaller, the headtube 11% smaller, and the fork blades 15% thinner. This means less frontal area and less drag. In fact, tests show that EVO has a mere 14g more drag than the best "aero" frames without their added weight and harsh ride.

· Continuous
Carbon
A continuous network of high modulus stiffening fibers runs around joint areas and along the outer edges of the frames tubes, connecting all parts of the frame and allowing precise tuning of stiffness and ride quality.
