![]() To keep cyclists safe zipping around the city all models include subtle reflective graphic detailing all around the frame for visibility from all sides. ![]() ![]() Add to that a comfortable, upright position and the Quick is both fast and easy to ride in town. The slacker head angle and longer front end gives these bikes the same mix of stable, yet agile handling of their higher-end bikes. The bikes use what Cannondale calls OutFront Steering Geometry, which they developed on the latest Scalpel platform. All of the bikes in the line-up use shaped and butted 6061 aluminum frames, with the top four versions getting an even lighter SL edition of the frame that sheds and extra 200g and includes a tapered steerer fork with carbon legged forks to keep them light and agile. The new Quick aims to be the lightest bike in its class. Jump past the break to get a look at the details, and some of the many build options Cannondale has at every price level, from really low-cost up to a Shimano 105 build with hydraulic disc brakes… As more folks take up cycling to improve their health, or even just see a bike as a more rational way to get back and forth from the gym, a bike like the Quick offers a lot of promise. The latest Cannondale Quick tries to solve all of those concerns in a light, fast moving bike that they think will help motivate those cyclists who just want to get out and improve their fitness. The result is often an overbuilt bike that can stand up to almost any riding abuse, but ends up being rather heavy and with a harsh ride. While most traditional hybrids blend the durability and upright ride of mountain bikes with the smooth, narrower tires of a road bike, there tends to be a lot of compromise getting something in between.
