When it comes to Cannondale bikes this is what every savvy cyclist should know: Cannondale bikes are durable, comfortable, and safe. After reading this you will know how you can get the best offers for Cannondale bikes. Cannondale has been one of the leading manufacturers of high performance bikes worldwide for the last ten years. The company started in 1971 in Connecticut USA and was originally a maker of bicycle transporters and trailers. Later on it expanded into the bike manufacture and more recently into cycling accessories and clothing. One of the big reason Cannondale bikes are such a success is that not only that they build bikes for professional cyclists who race in competitive races but they also build bikes for the ordinary people who like to go site seeing on their bike or just move around in the city. Cannondale bicycles are extremely durable.   The aluminum used in the Cannondale bikes is the Optimo aluminum which is actually a mixture that contains more silicon and lower magnesium content than other manufacturers. Due to this mixture the aluminum gets more elongating property and tensile strength. Because of the higher elongation the welded frames becomes less susceptible to any breakage or cracks as it has the stretching capacity. This innovative and superb technology let Cannondale bikes extremely light weighted while maintaining its frames stiffness. The weight saving feature of this Cannondale road bike is greatly impressive noting that it prides itself as having the lightest crank set among all road racing bicycles today. It totally outperforms the traditional systems by utilizing 30-mm aluminum spindle and ceramic bearings that are much less resistant and heavier than the Cannondale’s frame. Cannondale bicycles design put a lot of thought to the cyclist comfort. Not only their considerably lighter weight that make them much easier to commute and handling , also the special Optimo Si and hourglass (S-bend)  butted seat stays will make them the perfect solution for any long ride. With the use of Optimo Si and hourglass butted seat stays, the Cannondale road bikes definitely possess lateral rigidity while providing comfort to the cyclists at the same time. Cannondale are safe which make them perfect for bicycle touring. Bikes that are used for the touring should have some specific characters. Cannondale bicycles include specific features such as longer wheelbase which increases their stability and larger width tires. Another important feature in the Cannondale bikes is a tread pattern that would be durable for longer period of time and should withstand heat and cold and control over a wider variety of sand or stone commonly on terrain. In addition Cannondale has developed a special suspension fork which is known as the Lefty. There are about 88 needle bearings which are used to reduce the friction and make the travel smooth. Now that you know what makes the Cannondale bikes durable, comfortable and safe you will be happy to know that one of the company goals is to make them affordable.
