Time to Level Up!

Light, Fast, Built to Last

Cannondale’s C3 alloy frame delivers an easy-to-handle and sporty ride that feels zippy and fun. Lightweight and built to last — kind of like that one pair of jeans you can’t stop wearing (if your jeans came with a lifetime warranty).

Shifting Made Simple

Ditch front derailleur and the clunky front shifters. The 1x drivetrain lets you focus on getting rad, not fiddling with gears. With fewer moving parts, it ensures smooth, reliable shifting for effortless climbs and descents.

We’ve Got Your Back(side)

Comfortable, confidence-boosting geometry and responsive handling mean more smiles per mile, whether you're cruising or charging.

Features
