Cannondale CAAD9 Review

Cannondale CAAD 9 6

The Cannondale CAAD9 series of road bikes are Cannondale’s top of line aluminum road bike frames. Canondale offers one of the very few aluminum American made frames on the market and on top of that they are value priced with entire bikes starting at only 899 dollars. The middle of the line 2009 CAAD9 model is the 6, it is flanked by either the higher end mainly Shimano 105 ‘5′ and the entry level CAAD9 7 with mainly Shimano Sora components. The CAAD9 6 is offered in white and grey color schemes and is available in a double or triple crankset option. The CAAD9 series of road bikes offer a veristile performance minded frame-set that are just as comforatable in a weekend crit as they are riding out on a metric century on the weekend.

The ‘6′ is a well packaged performance road bike / budget minded racer. It comes stock with a full Shimano Tiagra component groupo save for the cassette and brakes, which are supplied by Sram and Tektro respectively. The ‘6′ also comes equiped with Shimano wheels and a carbon/aluminum fork to soak up the bumps. Though the bike is only speced with modest entry level components; its combination of an elegant paint job and stiff and responsive chasis make for a bike that rides and looks like a much higher end and more expensive machine.

CAAD 9 Cannondale Custom Light Bike

SuperCoolBiker — Sun, 03 May 2009 01:35:32 +0000

Cannondale’s CAAD9 is the companies flagship aluminum road bike. The frame alone weighs 1250 grams and this particular build is based upon a 54cm frame. Cannondale offers the CAAD9 frame in three mid level road bikes and also as a frame set available with Cannondale’s BB30 bottom bracket system. I have built this custom CAAD9 bike to weigh in at 15lbs or under. It is currently a work in progress and I will be posting pictures of the bike as it is finalized. Parts Spec includes: Alpha Q – fork, seatpost, stem, Zipp – cranks and handlebars, Reynolds – wheels, Ciamillo/ Zero Gravity Red Devil Special Edition Negative G – road caliper brakes, SRAM Red and Force – drivetrain and shifters.
