Cannondale Advanced Aluminum Design

We’re CAAD to the core. It’s in our DNA. We’ve been pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with aluminum longer than anyone, and with CAAD14, we’ve taken all those decades of experience, all the learnings, all the Grand Tour wins and World Championships, and distilled them into something special. This is high-performance aluminum as it was meant to be.

Raw Performance within Reach

The classic frame silhouette offers a unique aesthetic, staying true to aluminum instead of trying to mimic carbon shapes, while CAAD14 builds on the material’s natural strengths to deliver a fast, responsive ride. Paired with the performance and quality you expect from Cannondale, it offers exceptional value and stands as the perfect entry into Cannondale’s high-performance road riding.

Not Carbon. Not Sorry.

CAAD14 delivers the ride that made Cannondale famous – the perfect blend of smooth and snappy. Explosive, immediate and alive, with razor sharp handling and instinctive response, CAAD14 is built to take the inside line, crush town line sprints, and dance away on climbs.
