The Cannondale CAAD14 3 is a performance-focused road bike built around a responsive SmartForm C1 Alloy frame for riders who value speed, precise handling, and the direct feel of aluminum. Its race-oriented geometry and integrated cable routing create a clean, streamlined platform for fast training rides, group rides, and competitive road cycling.

A full carbon Delta Steerer fork complements the alloy frame, while the Shimano 105 mechanical 2×12-speed drivetrain provides smooth and dependable gear changes. Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes, 700c wheels, wider-tire compatibility, and an ergonomic cockpit complete a versatile road bike designed for hard riding and everyday performance.

Key Features

• SmartForm C1 Alloy Frame: The aluminum frame is engineered for responsive acceleration, efficient power transfer, and precise road handling. Integrated cable routing gives the bike a clean and streamlined profile.
• Full Carbon Delta Steerer Fork: The carbon fork features a specially shaped Delta Steerer that allows the cables to route internally through the front of the bike. Its design keeps the cockpit tidy while supporting responsive steering characteristics.

• Integrated Conceal Cockpit: A Cannondale C1 Conceal stem works with the Vision Trimax Compact handlebar to create a clean and ergonomic front end. Hidden cable routing contributes to the bike's streamlined road-racing appearance.
• BSA Threaded Bottom Bracket: The 68 mm BSA threaded bottom bracket provides a practical and service-friendly drivetrain interface. Its conventional threaded construction helps simplify routine maintenance and component replacement.
