SmartFormed Stealth Alloy
Our most sophisticated aluminum crafting techniques and Stealth fighter-inspired tube shapes deliver light weight, style and performance.
Unique Fork Options
The radical-looking, lightweight single-bladed HeadShok Solo DL50 offers 50 mm of fluid travel, hydraulic damping and convenient lockout, while the non-suspension Solo or Fatty rigid forks are super light and precise.
Rider Tailored Geometry
Bad Boy, not surprisingly, has some attitude in its more-aggressive-than-most urban geometry. Its position and angles deliver quick responsiveness, while still giving good rider visibility in traffic.

It's not my first bike, or even my only bike, but it's become my favourite. Unbeatable stand-out style statement, great handling, excellent brakes and running gear ... and it looks awesome just standing still!

Comments about cannondale BAD BOY 5:
I tricked this bike out every way possible with carbon fiber, did FSA-SLK cranks, stem, seat post, handlebars and accented with red cables, red disc brakes, red nipples on wheels, red Crank. Brothers pedals. It looks awesome and I have found many guys asking me about the bike. The only negative stock feature was the tires which I replaced with the Michelin Pilot Sport which give a little more grip and looks cool at night with the reflective sidewalks.

I bought this bike to commute to work and also get a good cardio in. I put about 100 miles a week on it. I ride on roads, trails, gravel and paved. This bike has all the gears you need. The brakes are great, very solid equipment stock. I bought the bike at Toga bike shop in Nyack. I have dumped the bike and it took it well. The mechanics at Toga are great too. Buy through a reputable bike shop and you won't have to worry.. Worth the price, you'll have for a very long time.
