CANNONDALE 2026 700U CAAD14 2 ROAD BIKE

A pure aluminum race bike, with SRAM Rival AXS & DT Swiss E 1800 wheels.

Not Carbon. Not Sorry.

A lineage of fast aluminum shaped over decades—smooth welds, clean geometry, road-true handling. CAAD14 is built for the pure feel of road riding: the pull, the side-glance, the shoulder-to-shoulder sprint, the arms-up finish.

Model Description

CAAD14 2 runs SRAM Rival AXS wireless shifting on a SmartForm C1 Premium frame that remains faithful to classic CAAD proportions—direct, balanced, and lively under load.
