SAVE Technology


One of the characteristic features of Cannondale is being always on the peak of innovation, wants to offer something different from other Brands. This is reflected in the timeless bikes and materials with new and exclusive technical solutions. The issue that will concern us is the unmistakable stamp of the history of Cannondale bicycles.




   
The SAVE technology used by Cannondale to rear triangle of the bike -scissors and the seat posts. The construction of the triangles is a specific process that the shaping of the inner side is flattened while the other tube is molded as cylindrical. In this way, scissors and seat posts absorbs much of the shock during pedaling in the roadway.




   SAVE technology used in reverse once the parallel tube of rear triangle that managed to dampen the rigidity and eventually to transfer more power to the pedal. The horizontal pipe is always at the top of the dent while in parallel is on the sides of.
The simultaneous use of the rear triangle and seat posts produce the optimum results after depreciated vibrations and simultaneously transfer the maximum power to the pedal while cycling.



The use of SAVE technology in the seat post as an idea sprang simultaneously with the birth of Flash model. It is headed by German engineer Peter Denk. Cannondale bicycles manufactured from carbon fiber (Carbon) tried and finally succeeded in creating one of the most advanced and rigid mountain bikes, but also strengthened in order to achieve the maximum comfort for the rider.




SAVE Technology (Synapse Active Vibration Elimination) was born and placed in road bikes and specific in Synapse. Applied to the rear triangle, there we have a flat section in the center of the scissors to damp the vibration of the ground. This technology, then made ​​the jump to mountain bikes with the Flash model and under the same principle applies to the seat post publishing Carbon.

   
Although it seems a simple solution, the secret of success lies in a slight - slight bending of the seat for granted that offers a combination of high strength and low weight. Undoubtedly, the arrangement of carbon fibers and quality play a pivotal role in this.

   
After testing in various terrain and conditions manages to offer amazing comfort while cycling. The bike is stiff and with a level of comfort as if it had rear suspension. With SAVE technology succeeds without the disadvantages of the suspension for instance, weight.

   
The flattened shape of scissors works in bending.
In rough paths smoothes the rough terrain as well, especially if the cyclist develops high speeds. Facing biggest obstacles weakens significantly jerks as if he had the bike suspension.

  
These 20mm bending characterize the SAVE seat, offer advantages not only in terms of comfort , but also in terms of performance, helping us to focus the cyclist pedaling and move faster. Moreover, we note that they need to exercise great power on the pedals at any point realize just rocking or movement in this direction.
Even when we try jumping maintain constant motion and strength.

  
If the above add a light seatpost (240gr), its performance is beyond any doubt unrivaled.

  
By using improved many features of the bike, but the main drawback remains the extent to which it is made and specific seat post is only available for SAVE seat posts 27,2mm diameter and 420mm length. So this revolutionary technology will not be appropriate for many bikes from mountain bikes. Also, it is compatible with all companies that manufacture saddles as it comes in two versions which do not fit some rails. Thus, it is perfectly compatible with saddles as Cannondale, Fi'zi: k, WTB or Prologue, but others will not cooperate.

  
Tests have been conducted with different saddles including Gobi XMK: virus. The saddle is intended for users «Chameleon», ie aimed at more flexible drivers spend time either on the saddle or standing. Comfort and performance are two characteristics of this technology.

  
This is a low saddle weighing about 229gr and grace on the wing and tail Flex technology incorporating allow a small bend of the same left , right and backwards offering exceptional comfort without sacrificing high performance.


  
Technology SAVE divided into three broad categories and used as shown in detail below:

1.- Aero SAVE
     
Used by bicycles Slice.

2.- Speed ​​SAVE
     
Models used by Super Six EVO, CAAD10, SuperX and Flash models.
      
3.- SAVE Plus
     
Utilized by Synapse Carbon and Synapse Alloy.

                                     
AERO SAVE
Aerodynamic system AERO SAVE companion saving energy and cushioning using slippery aerodynamic shapes. In a class with many mechanical and human excesses with harsh riding conditions, AERO SAVE technology offers a clear advantage: the absorption of many different vibrations of the road and stay significantly longer time to
aerodynamic position (aero).
                            
Get better control on uneven surfaces, so the bike has to be less stress to continue the fight. It is not a secret weapon Chrissie Wellington.

The technology used in AERO SAVE bikes SLICE.


                                                    
SPEED SAVE
This technology is much like posting cars for F1. The characteristics of the SPEED SAVE from engineering point of view that is not just simply want to make the bike more comfortable, but actually help you roll - scrolling faster. Placing special emphasis on low weight and torsional stiffness, the SPEED SAVE delivers improved rolling speed, better acceleration, and incomparably higher cornering speeds without negatively affecting the transmission of electricity.

This technology is used on bicycles Super Six Evo, CAAD10, SuperX and various model versions Flash.
                                            

                                                      
SAVE Plus
Comfort in the race. An update to a more targeted system output started this technology. The SAVE PLUS provides the rider even more cushioning and protection in relation to the technology SPEED SAVE.
Ideal for transport or racing at high speed over the cobbled (Pave) of Northern Europe.

SAVE Plus technology being used for the Synapse Carbon and aluminum.

  
The use of technology SAVE longer exists on all bikes Cannondale, with enviable results. The Cannondale Pro Cycling uses this technology models Super Six Evo & Synapse by which the struggle of the top riders like Peter Sagan, Elia Viviani and Ivan Basso.
