Cannondale CAAD8 2300 (2013)

Cannondale Aluminum crafting and CAAD10 DNA in a class of its own

With someone's all-important first road bike purchase, it's the details that determine whether it gets ridden regularly or hung in the garage.

With its lightest-in-class frame, more forgiving Heads-Up Race geometry, CAAD10-derived tubeshapes and unmistakable Cannondale ride-feel, the CAAD8 is designed to turn people into cyclists.
