Relaxed Race Geometry
The CAADX has a slightly taller head tube and slightly slacker head tube angle than the SuperX, providing a more upright position and stable handling.
SAVE Stays
The flattened shape and refined butting of the stays offer significant vertical compliance for comfort and control over rough surfaces, while remaining laterally rigid for solid power transfer and confident handling.
Smooth Welds
A true smooth weld, rather than the sand, putty, and paint smooth welds found on other bikes, Cannondale's trademark double-pass smooth weld technology eliminates the stress-risers and weak points found on traditionally welded frames, enabling us to build lighter, stronger frames.

Comments about cannondale CAADX TIAGRA:
Great platform to tailor the bike to your needs. Save your money to buy this over the 105, and upgrade to your needs.
Tektro CR520 difficult to adjust. Pad friction is dangerous.
The rear derailleur cable has a partial sleeve which can collect dirt.... better to leave this off at the factory from the beginning.
Sammy Slicks good for dry conditions, not so wet.
Jagwire STI compatible adjusters are a great addition, not found on the competition. However, the competition has adjusters for the brake cables
Hubs roll fast and smooth.
love the paint scheme on it.
Overall, the best value in the CAADX lineup. Buy this and use the saved money to tailor your bike to your specific needs/tastes.
