The finest alloy racing machine ever crafted, the CAAD12 is the crit hero's workhorse, a weekend warrior's wheelhouse, and an excellent all-around choice for riders of all levels. It's lighter, stiffer, and smoother than many carbon frames thanks to Cannondale's SmartForm C1 Premium Construction.  It comes outfitted with Shimano's trusty 105 drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes for incredible stopping power and control. Fast-rolling aluminum rims, dialed-in women's specific geometry, and a stiff aluminum cockpit make this one of the highest performing aluminum stallions ever made.
