| Fit notes | The bar width (38/40/42 cm), stem length (90-130 mm), crank length and seatpost setback are chosen in the configurator. The bar comes with 5 and 10 mm stack spacers. The two smallest sizes have shorter seat tubes and the fork offset is 50 mm on sizes 48-51 and 44 mm on 54-58. | Stock SystemBar Road sizes are 90x340 mm (44-52), 100x360 mm (54-56) and 110x380 mm (58-61); the EVO 1 SL's SystemBar Road SL is 380 mm wide in all sizes but 61 (400 mm). Compared with Gen 4, stack is 10 mm lower in every size and the old 51 cm was replaced by 50 and 52. |
| Aerodynamics | ||
| Manufacturer aero claims | About 7 W saved at 45 km/h by the new frameset against the original Magma with the same size, wheels and parts, plus about 10 W from the integrated handlebar against a standard two-piece round bar and stem (AURUM CFD estimates) | Same frame shapes as the LAB71: yaw-weighted drag 0.003 m² (CdA) lower than the Gen 4 SuperSix EVO, weighted at 40 km/h road speed. Cannondale says it is faster than many pure aero bikes while weighing up to a kilo less. |
| Testing method | CFD across -10 to 10 degrees of yaw during design; Cyclingnews reports the design was then checked in the University of Valencia wind tunnel | CFD and wind tunnel. Cannondale combines drag-versus-yaw tunnel data with a modelled distribution of on-road yaw angles into one yaw-weighted drag value, and quotes power only with a speed. |
| Tube profile | NACA 0024 profile for the head and down tubes, NACA 0021 for the fork, seat tube and seatpost, truncated trailing edges; high seat stays and a flattened top tube | Truncated NACA aerofoils, each tube shaped for its own structural and airflow needs; designed with the Gripper Aero bottles and CarbonGrip Aero cages |
