Model Description This LAB71 SuperSix EVO finished in our Nimbus-effect Burnt Pewter paint is an ultra-premium race bike in every sense: in its build in its appearance and most importantly in its performance. We start with our most advanced carbon construction Series 0 then install only the best components like the latest wireless electronic SRAM Red AXS groupset – including power meter – plus our SystemBar R-One one-piece carbon cockpit and Reserve Turbulent Aero 42/49 rims laced to DT Swiss 180 hubs with SINC ceramic bearings. What it’s for Breakaways KOMs Podiums and Inspiring Envy Highlights Series 0 Carbon low-drag SuperSix EVO frameset – our lightest most advanced carbon construction ever RED AXS wireless electronic – SRAM’s flagship road-race groupset plus a CeramicSpeed Coated DUB BB Cannondale SystemBar R-One – low drag full carbon integrated bar/stem co-developed with MomoDesign Reserve Turbulent Aero 42/49 carbon wheelset – premier aerodynamics meets lightweight acceleration Cannondale C1 Aero 40 Carbon aero seatpost and Fizik Vento Antares 00 saddle with carbon shell and rails for ultra-lightweight performance The Lightest of the Fast 770 grams. That’s impressively light for a fully-painted build-ready 56cm frame. But for a frame this aerodynamic it’s incredible. Our Series 0 carbon construction used for the LAB71 SuperSix EVO features an advanced carbon fiber and nano-resin layup that yields exceptional tensile and compressive strength properties allowing our engineers to achieve more with less material. The result is more speed out of fewer watts. The Fastest of the Light When it comes to aerodynamic drag the SuperSix EVO is not just one of the fastest lightweight road bikes out there it’s one of the fastest road bikes period. Its refined tube shapes and fully systemized design shaves 12 watts off of our last generation model at 45 km/h making it faster than many pure “aero” bikes while weighing up to a kilo less. Light or Aero? Now you don’t have to choose. Sculpted by Speed What happens when you design a complete bike not just a frameset? An elegant design emerges alongside integrated aerodynamics. The frame fork bars wheelsets and seatpost are engineered as an entire system achieving aerodynamic efficiency that blows away a piecemeal approach. It’s elevated design driven by elevated performance. Details you’ll notice. Speed you’ll feel.   Supernatural Handling The way SuperSix EVO blends stability and agility is almost surreal. Refined neutral racing geometry and fine-tuned engineering deliver handling that is so intuitive so confident you can comfortably take it right to the limit and keep it there all race long.   SystemBar R-One by MOMODesign Exceptional aerodynamics meet comfortable control. For the new SuperSix EVO’s cockpit we partnered with the legendary MOMODesign. Using drag-reducing shapes sleek cable integration and race-proven materials the collaboration brings a new level of speed style and ergonomic refinement to the EVO’s command center. Features Comfortable Clearance Room for 30mm wide tires with over 6mm of clearance on either side means SuperSix EVO can ride or race the way you want it to. Run wider tires for more comfort and control or slim down for lightweight responsiveness. Your choice. Get Smart Ready beyond race day SuperSix EVO is compatible with our innovative SmartSense system. Stay visible and aware of your surroundings with on-board lights a rear-facing radar system and one battery to power it all. Delta Steerer An all-new steerer tube design Delta allows for seamless integration of the bike’s cables from the cockpit down into the frameset while shrinking the headtube’s frontal area for reduced drag. Sleek strong and light. Bottle Integration SuperSix EVO’s included ReGrip Aero cages and Gripper Aero bottles do more than just hold water. They actually make the bike faster. Designed with the EVO they create a more streamlined profile improving the bike’s aerodynamic efficiency while still accommodating standard round bottles from the feed zone. Threaded Reliability Simplicity is strength strength is speed and speed wins races. The new SuperSix EVO embraces the threaded BSA bottom bracket standard creating a rock-solid mounting point for the crankset for ultimate simplicity and reliability.
