Additional Information
| SKU | C11RA87C5 |
| Manufacturer | Cannondale |
| Model | CAAD8 7 Sora |
| Features | Heads up Race Geometry, proven race geometry but with a slightly taller head tube for a more relaxed riding position. Cannondale’s trademark double-pass smooth weld technology eliminates the stress-risers and weak points found on traditionally welded frames, enabling us to build lighter, stronger frames. Hourglass seat stays offers significant vertical compliance for comfort and control over rough surfaces, whist retaining rigidity for solid power transfer and positive handling. 4. Asymmetric Chain Stays are oversize and reshaped driveside chain stay to better handle the loads from the drivetrain. 5. Externally Machined Head Tube,, excess material is precisely machined out of the low stress areas of the head tube, saving significant weight with no loss of strength. 6. Taper-Butted Tubes like the legendary CAAD frames of the past, the CAAD8 features 6061 aluminum which has been taper-butted and heat-treated to a T6 hardness, allowing a lighter, stronger frame. |
