Cannondale CAADX 105
CAADX means this is a Cannondale Advanced Aluminium Design Cross bike.
This means that it's a very nice mixed-terrain machine, not unlike a Cannondale road race bike but slightly more 'heads up' (upright). What's more, it boasts the eyelets and clearance required to fit mudguards and rack so you can use the the Cannondale CAADX Tiagra as a general purpose tourer/commuter bike.
- Cannondale trademark taper-butted smooth-welded aluminium frame - world renowned for its light weight and its quality.
- The Hourglass stays and the carbon fork contribute towards a forgiving ride.
- Asymmetric chainstays reinforced on the drive side strengthen the frame.
- The asymmetric chainstays also mean the rear wheel can be stronger because it require less dishing.
- The BB30 bottom bracket's 30mm diameter aluminium spindle saves weight while the oversized BB shell provides a larger interface with the down tube, seat tube and chain stays. The resulting improvement in torsional stiffness rewards you with an immediate and noticeable power response every time you put pressure on the pedals.
- Shimano 2x10 shifting ensures exceptional gear shifting performance.
- The FSA Gossamer chainset with 36/48 chainrings and the Shimano 12-28 cassette yield an excellent gear spread.
