S.A.V.E. FEATURE Shaped chain stays and a moderate bend in the seat stays provide sophisticated vibration damping, with lateral flex resistance for excellent climbing and sprinting characteristics. We call it Synapse Active Vibration Elimination.

MADE IN BEDFORD Impressive performance comes from shaped tubing that is designed and manufactured right here in America. We've built upon more than 25 years of bicycle manufacturing to offer the high-performance alloy CAAD9.

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.
