CannondaleQuick (Fitness)
city
01
Origin
The Quick is Cannondale's fitness hybrid — built for the rider who wants road-bike speed on a flat bar with real-world practicality. Its SmartForm C3 alloy frame uses SAVE micro-suspension (small compliance cuts in the seatstays and fork crown) to absorb road buzz without a suspension fork. The carbon fork on top builds is borrowed from road DNA, while rack and fender mounts keep it genuinely commuter-capable. The range covers from single-speed simplicity up to 11-speed wireless shifting with tubeless-ready tires.
