Cannondale’s popular SuperSix EVO road bike sheds weight in an exclusive special edition Leichtbau frameset. Dropping another 10% off the already-light hi-mod carbon frame, the new SuperSix EVO Leichtbau serves as a base to build up the lightest Cannondale road bikes. But just 200 framesets will be made, so act fast to go fast!

Leichtbau means lightweight construction in German, and that’s exactly what the SuperSix EVO Leichtbau delivers. Developed to celebrate 50 years of Cannondale race-ready performance, the SuperSix EVO Leichtbau sheds 90g off the production hi-mod SuperSix EVO raced in bright colors by EF Education and toured on by Lachlan Morton.
But refining that already-light carbon layup isn’t easy, so the new Leichtbau frame isn’t just lighter, it’s also more expensive and limited to just 200 pieces.
Tech details
The limited edition bike is laid up by hand in the same mold as the standard hi-mod SuperSix EVO. The resulting Cannondale SuperSix EVO Leichtbau frame weighs just 750g for a medium frame with its minimal raw paint finish with bronze & chrome paint detailing, and all of its key machined alloy hardware. That makes this the “lightest disc road bike frameset that Cannondale has ever made”.
Tech-wise, the Leichtbau gets all the same features as the standard SuperSix EVO Hi-mod. Easy-to-manage KNØT Integrated hidden cable routing that exists outside of the headset just at the top of the headtube. Chopped off airfoil tube shaping throughout that reduces aerodynamic drag, while retaining relatively small tubing profiles, light weight, and rider comfort.
Vibration damping dropped SAVE seatstays, 12mm Speed Release thru-axles, flat mount disc brakes, PF30a bottom bracket, and an integrated proprietary aero SAVE seatpost. All of that, plus clearance for 30mm all-road tires to boost rider comfort, grip, control, and to lower rolling resistance.
Cannondale SuperSix EVO Leichtbau – Pricing
The Leichtbau is only available as a frameset (frame, fork, 27 SL KNØT seatpost, headset & axles) for you to build up into your own superbike. Cannondale SuperSix EVO Leichtbau frames are individually numbered and available globally for $5200 / 5000€ in the four middle size range of the SuperSix EVO (51, 54, 56 & 58cm) out of the full eight.
