The CAAD13 is the speediest, smoothest, best handling, finest performing aluminum race bike on the planet. It is the ultimate alloy race machine, with exceptional efficiency and superb handling.
The Cannondale CAAD13 Disc is the ultimate alloy race machine.
For nearly four decades, our CAAD bikes have set the standard for high-performance aluminum frames, and the CAAD13 is the best one yet. It’s the most advanced, best performing alloy race bike ever made. Fitting, since aluminum is the 13th element.
With slick integration, dropped seat stays and truncated airfoil tube shapes that generate up to 30% less drag than a comparable round tubes, the CAAD13 is fully optimized for the pure pursuit of speed.
The Cannondale legacy was built on aluminum. We revolutionized bike design with our oversized aluminum frames back when steel was king, and we haven’t stopped improving, refining and re-inventing since.
Versatility is bundled into CAAD13’s speedy pedigree with clearance for 30mm tires, fender compatibility and Speed Release thru-axles, it’s built to roll on any road, in any weather.
Light, smooth, and fast, CAAD13 out-performs many competitors’ carbon frames – at an aluminum price. With a superb ride quality, exceptional handling and wide-ranging versatility, CAAD13 delivers.
