Cannondale Womens Road Bikes 2011 Super Six and Synapse

Cannondale is a well recognised brand in the world of cycling today, started in 1971 in Pennsylvania, United States of America. Cannondale’s women’s range of bikes in 2011 consists of performance road and elite road. They are targeting the beginner/amateur market and one bike to the athlete/competitive/pro market. The elite road range actually consists of one bike the SuperSix Womens Ultegra, whilst the performance range has Synapse Sora, Tiagra and 105. The bikes are very similar to the equivalent mens bikes, with different paint jobs and the frame sizes are slightly smaller at 44cm, 48cm, 51cm and 54cm.

The differences between the two ranges is clear as they are for different types of riders, find the details below:

Cannondale Synapse 2011 Range

Essentially the same bike with the different paint job the Synapse Sora, Tiagra and 105 are the same bike except for the groupset. The Tiagra comes with a triple chainset and 10 speed at the back so 30 gears in total. The Sora only comes in a 51cm frame size and you can choose either a triple or compact chainset. The Synapse 105 comes with a compact FSA Gossamer chainset and 10 speed at the back. So in essence the more you pay the better components you get with the bike. The are very well priced in the market and ideal for people getting into the sport or occasional riders.

Cannondale Super Six Ultegra Road Bike 2011

This is a different bike entirely. It has race pedigree and the mens bike has been ridden to many race wins. The womens bike is based on the same concept and is a full carbon bike, including seatpost, stem, headset and cranks. It comes with the full Shimano Ultegra groupset minus the crankiest which is FSA SL-K Light Carbon BB30. Itb runs on mavic wheels made up of Mavic Aksium Race Rims and Mavic Ksyrium Equipe MY11 spokes and nipples.

If you were wondering why we have included bike weights it is because Cannondale now don’t publish these as they were based on a specific sized bike and one weight does not fit all. They suggest going and trying the bikes and getting a feel for them.

Summary: Cannondale have produced a number of great womens bikes for the market to cater for all.
