Tried and true. Cannondale pioneered the use of aluminum more than 25 years ago and has refined tube shaping into a literal art form in the decades since. Ride with confidence on the purist's choice.
UNMATCHED ALUMINUM PERFORMANCE
Nobody does aluminum as well as Cannondale. The CAAD9 road frame is the pinnacle of 25 years of engineering and design experience, delivering comfort with thoroughbred, race-winning characteristics.

POWER PYRAMID DOWN TUBE
Cannondale's proprietary PowerPyramid down tube tapers from the head
tube to the bottom bracket. Thicker tube walls are used at the head tube
for impact resistance and lateral stiffness, while an oversized tube
diameter with thinner walls are used at the bottom bracket for
resistance to the twisting torsional forces of pedaling.
|
STAGE-WINNING FRAME DESIGN
Sprinters have piloted this exact frame design to multiple stage wins in pro-Tour races. Durable, dependable alloy design with trademark Cannondale ride characteristics make the CAAD9 a wise choice for serious racers on a budget.

WEIGHT: Don't see a weight listed for this bike? Wondering why that is? Well, we used to list our weights based upon medium or 56 cm frame and err on the side of caution when we know there will be variances due to welds, paint thicknesses, etc. But some of our competitors are weighing their small or extra small frames and rounding down. Then you're left wondering what's going on and making important buying decisions based upon faulty information. That's not right.
So because weight is too important to you as a consumer, we encourage a healthy bit of skepticism over published weights. Go to your local dealer, see it, feel it, weigh it and test ride it for yourself. We're that confident. You should be, too.

SPECIFICATION CHANGES & UPDATES
We do our best to ensure web content accurately reflects exact product spec. However, as changes occur, there may be brief delays in site updates. We reserve the right to make spec changes to improve products without prior notification, which may cause short-term differences in the information listed on the web.

Because our Cannondale Retailer Shops are all independently owned and operated, prices and availability will vary from Dealer to Dealer, from State to State, from Province to Province and from Country to Country. We highly encourage you to contact your local Cannondale retailer to test ride your bikes of choice and inquire about their pricing and availability. Please review our policies for more information.
