Check out my Cannondale SuperSix Evo road bike

[@kommentar1709]

I own and still ride the very same SuSi Evo 2013 frameset, combined with a mechanical dura ace 9000 11-fold shifting set and rim brakes, a Rotor 3D+ crankset with P2M powermeter, Ritchey parts (seatpost, stem, steerer) and a Selle Italia SLR Kit Carbonio Flow saddle. That bike is my "trusted companion", which I was (more or less successfully) riding in many national and international competitions. The latest competition was the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships in Trento a couple of weeeks ago, and again the SuSi Evo carried me safely along the hilly course, including descents with speeds up to 92 km/h. Uphill, the stiffness and the low total weight of the bike (just above the UCI limit) allowed me to stay with the best climbing specialists of my age group, and in the final technical downhill and short flat section towards the finish, I was able to ride away from the two remaining opponents and to secure a WC title with a 9 year-old bike underneath. I also own and ride a Trek Madone 9 equipped with a later R9100 dura ace groupset, but especially in the mountains or for trainings, I still prefer the less complicated SuSi Evo.

That “like an old 911” reference really hit home. I can relate.

Always good having an old faithful!

Nice Review. I have a 2014 SuperSix EVO Race Edition with the Ultegra group and upgraded to Mavic Ksyrium Pro wheels. It's an absolutely amazing bicycle! I think it is still very competitive with current models. AND...it has rim brakes!

[@legestrom]

Got this exact frame with Dura Ace on Cosmic Carbone SL's. Love it.

[@marcusfenix55]

great bike , i own a cannondale supersix evo hi mod 2014

[@Kunioak]

David, coming back to this video as I just purchased a 2013 SSE HiMod. My quandary is that I may have gone too big on the frame size. I'm 6'1" with a 35.5" inseam on a 58cm. But you at 5'11" on the 56cm makes me think that the 56cm would be too small! Love all of your videos by the way. I default to typing "David Arthur" before anything on KZbin when looking for cycling insight. Thanks!

[@joeenglert]

that bike is one hundred times better than the new disc brake junkers they make now

[@suryopras]

A classic lightweight bike 👍🏻

[@dbibah]

Hi David, thank for your informative video! I'm considering getting the 2018 model, would you recommend? I'm absolutely in love with the Supersix Evo but since it's a lot of money for me I want to be sure that it's the right bike to get.

[@davidarthur]

Yes you won't be dissapointed!

[@c.c.9401]

Hey David! Hope this finds you well. A new rider (in the road bike world) and trust me i've been stressing myself researching for the most optimal/entry level bike. From Trek/Specialized, heck i even went as far to look into BMC; none of which grasped me as the SuperSix Evo 105 (at first I was eyeing the CAAD13). I live in a more city like environment and worry the stock 25c wheel wouldn't be as effective or safe as a 28-30. So my question is do you know up to what wheel clearance it would have If i'm able to put in 28 or 30. If yes, what wheel set do you recommend? I don't know the year of the SuperSix i'm looking at but the color way is Sage Grey with Red lettering. Cheers!

[@Cortes19882012]

Fantastic bike! Love the wheels. Are you still riding it ?

[@Allikea]

Should I buy the identical bike with Dura Ace 11 speed with the same wheels in 2024 ?

[@davidarthur]

If it's a good price definitely

[@Allikea]

656 pounds

[@Allikea]

My Caad 13 is a bit to clinical

[@rafiannoor6648]

hi David, do you have a references on the shape of "down tube" ? I mean in the SupersixEvo down tube frame there is round shape and some of it not circle shape, especially on SuperSIX Evo Himod model...

[@yangguan4070]

My 2015 HM's is round

[@BulletJS]

Just retired the same bike after almost 10 seasons of riding. Tested rided a few $10k "superbikes". Nothing felt as smooth as the Evo. Ended up with a used 2019 team version.

[@adicatalan]

How much does she weigh ?

[@Raphael_dArc]

Hey David, nice looking SuperSix! What kind of conical spacer do you have on your bike? I've been trying to get in a lower position on my CAAD10, problem is that I can't find a conical spacer lower 15mm.

[@davidarthur]

It came with the frameset, I'm sure you should be able to get one for your CAAD10. In fact, here's a 5mm spacer qwertycycles.co.uk/products/cannondale-supersix-5mm-headset-top-cap-kp253

[@Raphael_dArc]

Awesome, thanks!

[@yangguan4070]

Get a Neco taiwanese zero stack headset kit that comes with or without bearings, good quality at affordable price

[@djokerjo]

Is your bike 11-speed? Just about to buy this model year but I’m not sure if it’s compatible with r8000, r9100 group sets?

[@davidarthur]

It is but this frame will take any speed mechanical rim brake groupset

[@yangguan4070]

How does the evo rides compared to the himod version?

[@davidarthur]

This hi-mod definitely has the edge but the gap isn’t massive and unless you have the luxury of riding both bikes you might not notice

[@BulletJS]

0:54 2012 model

[@jamesambrocio]

Do all mechanical Supersix bike have external cables?

[@davidarthur]

No, newer models and certainly the 2020 redesigned model have internal cable routing. This bike dates back to 2011 - a lot has changed since then

[@yangguan4070]

If I recall correctly, internal cables are fitted to evo after 2014

[@gabrielfong]

@@yangguan4070 might be 2017 onwards. Even the 2016 black inc supersix hi mod has external cabling

[@tomhumphries3490]

Can you fit 28mm tyres on a supersix evo this frame

[@davidarthur]

Nope

[@aaron___6014]

What's your height and frame size?

[@davidarthur]

I'm 5'11" and the bike size is 56cm

[@eickermtb8661]

Nice :)

[@popitn2nd]

Lmk if you want to sell that bike

[@dmeador11111]

What size bike is that?

[@davidarthur]

It's a 56cm

[@BikeLife154]

Put it in your house not the garage! Some low life might get their hands on it! Cannondale make great bikes!

[@popitn2nd]

Please sell that bike if you are upgrading

[@davidarthur]

Don’t think I’ll ever sell it !

[@andyjamestf]

If it ain’t broke

[@tylerotaniconlon1990]

I hate sram tho

[@pahouseholder]

"Overuse of the Cannondale word throughout the bike." Sure enough. The bike may be brilliant, but the graphics are annoying.
