| Fit notes | 7 frame sizes with a high stack and a seat tube 25 mm shorter than Basso's traditional geometry. 18 one-piece cockpit sizes across the two designs (Basso's tech page says 16): Fuga 370 mm wide with 80-130 mm stems and 65 mm reach, Levita 400-440 mm with 90-130 mm stems and 76.7 mm reach. Six 5 mm split spacers are included. | 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 | Frontal area 16% lower than the Diamante SV (24,993 mm² vs 29,754 mm²); the down tube is shaped around the front wheel, optimised for 28-35 mm tyres. | 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 | Basso quotes frontal area only; it publishes no wind-tunnel drag figures. TOUR notes it didn't wind-tunnel test the bike for its ride test. | 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 | Truncated airfoil (Kamm tail) on every tube | Truncated NACA aerofoils, each tube shaped for its own structural and airflow needs; designed with the Gripper Aero bottles and CarbonGrip Aero cages |
