New Cannondale SuperSix EVO in competition?

With the start of the cycling season at the Tour Down Under, we have seen the EF Education-Easy Post cyclists on a new bike that could be a revamped Cannondale SuperSix EVO, which, judging by the finish of the team's bikes, is expected to be imminent.

More aerodynamic and comfortable for the new Cannondale SuperSix EVO

Many changes are immediately noticeable on the Cannondale SuperSix EVO that the EF Education-Easy Post cyclists are using on the Australian roads, whether it be the women's team that has just started their season at the Tour Down Under a few days ago or the men's squad that is already doing the same.

While the overall lines of the bike are similar to the current model, its head tube quickly stands out with a much deeper profile in line with the current aerolight bike trends, which aim to enhance aerodynamics in the area that first impacts the wind and, in turn, reduce weight in the rear part of the bike where the gain in resistance is not as noticeable.

In fact, the rear part appears much more streamlined, suggesting that Cannondale has reduced the weight of the rear triangle. Particularly striking is the design of the seat tube, which has been significantly flattened in its cross-section, very much in the style of what can be seen in the endurance model Synapse, and whose mission is to enhance the absorption of irregularities.

This is certainly a feature that will help compensate for the fact that the seat post also seems to be more streamlined than its predecessor and, therefore, less absorbent. In any case, the level of finishes observed suggests that these are already definitive versions, so the official launch of this new Cannondale could be imminent.
