Attention road bike fans: Cannondale's SuperSix EVO has been considered one of the most agile and lightest road bikes on the market for years. With the recently released latest generation, Cannondale sets new standards in terms of weight, aerodynamics, and performance feel – whether you're chasing KOM/QOM titles in competition or simply have faster/further/higher on your personal agenda.
Here we introduce you to three versions of the new SuperSix EVO – from the premium top model to a strong mid-range option and a price-performance recommendation. This way, you can find out which model version fits your budget, compare, and decide on the right machine for the 2026 season (or dream a little). Of course, we have also compiled a comparison of the equipment at the end.
A new SuperSix EVO – why the whole thing?
The 5th generation SuperSix EVO is here to win
“The lightest frame we have ever built...”, many claim this, especially when it comes to a road bike update. But Cannondale has really trimmed the weight.
Here are some numbers:
- The top model LAB 71 SL competes with only 6.4kg competition weight
- 915 grams of that belong to the frame (56er, painted)
- The fork weighs 427 grams
|
An aero with road bike weight or rather a road bike with aero optimization? Officially the latter. The weight disadvantages of the aero are history with this update. |
- The fact is: The SuperSix EVO plays with the wind instead of fighting against it. Extensive tests in the wind tunnel and comprehensive CFD analysis provide flow-optimized tube profiles. Maximum efficiency is the result. Crisp climbing, breathtaking sprints, and explosive attacks secure you the crucial tenths of a second.
- Especially in terms of aerodynamics, the devil is in the details. And it's the details that really give the EVO a boost: An aero-optimized bottle holder (of course with aero bottles) or an aerodynamically adapted mount for your navigator (aka. Garmin, smartphone, Wahoo, or whatever rides along) on the integrated cockpit.
- Tire clearance... always an exciting topic. For more flexibility, there is up to 32mm clearance here (depending on the model variant).
Top model, mid-range, budget bike – what's the difference?
How do the individual model variants differ – between which there is a hefty 10,000 euro price difference?
