3 systemsix if looks could kill ta kingcarboninnewdirections the monster head tube it s what most people notice first about the systemsix but we didn t design it just to look intimidating it s big for a reason it anchors the systemsix s oversized top and down tubes using a proprietary lay-up technique that melds together the unidirectional carbon fibers of all three tubes the result is an integrated unit that s exceptionally light and strong without conventional joints or welds this revolutionary approach to composite engineering epitomizes our design philosophy and in the systemsix it results in the stiffest lightest and most explosive road racing bike in cannondale history.

systemsix 4 frontal assault thepowerof syst emintegr at i o n the systemsix features an oversized ultralight all-carbon system integrated front end that means the head tube stem steerer tube and fork work as a unit to provide an extraordinarily light and stiff platform no conventional design can match the tapered steerer tube measures a whopping 1.5 inches at the crown for unparalleled stiffness but with the fork weighs just 320 grams this innovative design provides superior lateral stiffness for out-of-the saddle sprints and climbs.

7 systemsix head tube diameter 58 mm top tube diameter 49 mm down tube diameter living large the top and down tubes 56 mm oversized tubing is a hallmark of cannondale design for good reason a larger diameter allows for thinner wall thickness and lower overall weight while maintaining superior strength on the systemsix the top tube measures 49 mm in diameter and features a distinctive oval shape to optimize lateral stiffness the rounded down tube engineered for optimal torsional stiffness is 56 mm these oversized tubes fashioned from unidirectional carbon fiber take full advantage of carbon s anisotropic properties to form a stronger laminate they re also much lighter since they use less carbon only 16 sheets of carbon fiber versus the 200 to 500 sheets used by other manufacturers.

11 systemsix behind you all the way the race-proven rear triangle the systemsix s ultralight race-proven aluminum rear triangle is seamlessly mated to the top and down tubes through our time-tested co-molding process the seat tube is double butted as are the chain stays for superior lateral stiffness and the sloping hourglass seat stays provide vertical flex for a smoother ride they also weigh just 90 grams compared to 130 grams for many bonded and bolted carbon seat stay assemblies in fact the entire frame weighs just 1115 grams including paint and hardware on a 56 cm frame

systemsix 12 absolute control bornandbredinbedford pennsylvania the systemsix is handcrafted at our factory in bedford for absolute control of every phase of design and fabrication the proprietary systemsix laminate schedule was designed entirely in-house to achieve maximum performance with minimum material each tube was designed here to achieve a specific performance objective as opposed to off-the-shelf tubing all tooling and molds were designed and fabricated here and each frame is molded in our state-of-the-art composite manufacturing facility the result a machine whose craftsmanship and incomparable quality is evident with every pedal stroke.

15 systemsix failure is not an option obsessive testing a key objective of the systemsix design team was to maximize stiffness to ensure we achieved it we put the systemsix through the most rigorous and comprehensive testing regimen in the industry a battery of over 120 tests from computerized simulated load analysis to our ride feel indicator test which helps predict how a bike is going to feel when it is ridden then we put it in the hands of professional racing teams for real-world testing under intense competitive conditions the fact is we re obsessed with testing at cannondale it s how we proved beyond doubt that the systemsix is the stiffest and lightest road racing bike in cannondale history and when you ride the systemsix you ll feel it.
