CannondaleSuperSlice
Origin
The SuperSlice arrived in 2016 as Cannondale's modern aero TT/triathlon platform, replacing the long-running Slice and giving the brand a credible disc-brake time-trial bike. It was raced by EF Pro Cycling at the WorldTour level. The third-generation SuperSlice, unveiled in February 2026 alongside the SuperSix EVO Gen 5, was billed by Cannondale as 'the fastest TT bike we've ever made,' rebuilt on Series 0 carbon with a Delta-steerer front end, threaded BSA BB, UDH and class-leading 32mm tyre clearance.
Specifications
- Frame
- Carbon — Series 0 (LAB71 Gen 3, lightest Cannondale carbon) / Hi-MOD & Carbon on earlier Gen 2 builds. Aero-optimised TT tube shapes; size-M frame 1,122g, total frameset (frame+fork+seatpost+basebar) 2,026g.
- Weight
- kg
- Drivetrain
- Frameset only — buyer-specified. Electronic groupsets ONLY (mechanical not supported). SRAM and Shimano electronic compatible (e.g. SRAM Red AXS / XPLR). Chainring max 64T (1x) or 60/46T (2x). UDH rear dropout (SRAM T-Type compatible).
- Brakes
- Hydraulic disc, flat-mount. 12x100 front / 12x142 rear thru-axles. (Earlier SuperSlice generations also offered rim-brake versions.)
- Wheels
- Not supplied — frameset only; buyer fits deep-section aero wheels. Disc-brake hubs, thru-axle 12x100 front / 12x142 rear.
The verdict
- Class-leading aero: 14% less drag / 10W saved at 50 km/h vs the previous SuperSlice — a genuine, measurable TT advantage
- Highly adjustable fit: 100/120mm cockpit reach, 0–30° extension angle, 45mm seatpost fore-aft (74–77° seat angle) suits both TT and steep triathlon positions
- Series 0 carbon keeps weight low (1,122g frame / 2,026g frameset) despite deeper aero tubes — sub-9kg complete builds are achievable
- Modern, serviceable standards: BSA 68mm threaded BB (no more press-fit creak) and UDH rear dropout
- 32mm tyre clearance — best-in-class for a TT bike, allows fast wide aero tyres for comfort and grip
- Frameset-only — Cannondale offers no complete build; the rider must source groupset, wheels, saddle, making real-world cost €12,000+
- Electronic groupsets ONLY — mechanical shifting is unsupported, locking out cheaper/simpler builds
- Very high price: ~€6,999/$6,999 for the frameset alone, premium even by TT standards
- Extreme niche — pure TT/triathlon use; useless as an everyday or training bike, and irrelevant in markets with little TT racing (e.g. the Baltics)
- Critics note the aero development story (CFD hours) is now table-stakes rather than a true differentiator at this price point
