Cannondale CAAD Optimo Frameset

The 2017 Cannondale CAAD Optimo Frameset marked the introduction of a highly capable aluminum road frame, succeeding the beloved CAAD8. This frameset is designed as the perfect entry point into the world of performance cycling, utilizing the advanced technologies of its more expensive sibling, the CAAD12. The foundation is laid with lightweight SmartForm C2 aluminum featuring the refined tube profiles and 'double-pass' welds that Cannondale is known for. This results in a frame that delivers exceptional stiffness and efficiency, essential for quick acceleration and precise handling.

A crucial feature of the CAAD Optimo is the integration of the patented SAVE micro-suspension technology in the rear triangle. This technology uses specifically designed flex zones in the chainstays and seatstays to absorb vibrations and shocks from the road surface. This significantly increases comfort and control, allowing you to ride longer and with less fatigue. The frameset combines this with the proven Elite Race Geometry, directly derived from Cannondale's top models, ensuring a responsive and agile riding experience.

The 2017 Frameset comes complete with a lightweight full carbon fork with a tapered steerer tube. This ensures sharp steering precision while also helping to keep the overall weight down. Thanks to its versatile design, the CAAD Optimo is not only suitable for racing performance but also practical for commuting or winter training due to the subtly integrated mounting points for fenders and a rack. This makes it a durable and reliable foundation for both novice and experienced cyclists looking for a premium aluminum road frame.
