A Review of the Cannondale Slice Triathlon Road Bike

Recently Cannondale has created the move from aluminum to full carbon fibre with it's latest road bike. The Ironman Six 13 Slice Si is being replaced by the Cannondale Slice Triathlon. Immediately accessible the new bike is simply referred to as the Slice.

We would possibly wonder, will the name amendment of the bike, (no Ironman) mean that Cannondale isn't going to be the Ironman contender it once was? Fortunately Cannondale have just decided to build a better bike. Good move, just build a better bicycle.

The Italy Cannondale Liquigas Team is another necessary promotional property for Cannondale. Cannondale currently seems to be concentrating principally on the Pro Tour and the long road races with the new Super Six Road Bike series.

The frame of the Cannondale Slice Triathlon Bike seems to do things well even when standing still. The bike's down tube maintains a great aspect ratio whilst being skinny at the same time. The rear tire hides behind the great shape of the seat tube. Good air flow passes easily with the well styled seat tube. A little on the big side the fork will not hinder performance in any way.

The next thing of importance is the geometry of the frame, and Cannondale Slice Triathlon seems to pass all the tests that we would put to the geometry of a bike frame. The seat angle ought to be set at 75 degrees to achieve best bike performance.

The Cannondale Slice Triathlon has an adjustable seat post, therefore you'll be able to get anywhere from seventy five to 80 degrees in seat position. Riding downhill steeps is second to none. This is accomplished thanks to Cannondale slowing the steering right down. The rider will notice the bike easier to steer because of the offset angle of the forks. The bike and straight lines are one and also the same.

One purpose of note is that the wheels and tires of the bike don't provide the simplest traction and could be a little soft for the mountains. For a slightly higer value the Slice three has the mavic light weight wheels that create simple going of these mountain roads.

Cannondale Slice Triathlon, Ultra light, Ultra sturdy, and also the Ultimate in fun.
