Totally redesigned for 2012, the new Cannondale CAAD8 5 105 2012 Compact Road Bike draws on decades of aluminium engineering expertise to bring a remarkable level of performance to the entry-level road category. By far the lightest frame in its class, the Cannondale CAAD8 shares many of the features and tube shapes of our incredible CAAD10 and mates them with a slightly more forgiving Heads-up race geometry. The trademark smooth double-pass welds, compliant SAVE rear stays, efficient asymmetric chain stays, and unmistakable Cannondale ride-feel make it clear that, rather than being just another aluminium road bike, this is something special.
