At this price point, I think that most are significantly less price sensitive than new buyers.

I own a systemsix Hi-mod and I find it very comfortable, more than my old 2013 synapse. I tested a Giant Defy few days ago, with big tubeless tires (30 or 32), and I felt the road like crazy. I ride my systemsix with tubetype GP5000 at 6,5-7 bars and the road cracks are damped through the whole bike. With the Defy, an endurance bike, I felt everything in the handlebar. It seems that Cannondale damps with the whole frame, but Giant do it with the seat post and mostly from the rear. It was a strange feeling, I did not like it. I would like to test the TCR but my guess is the supersix is more comfortable. The sad truth about bikes : it's easier to test a Porsche or a Mercedes than a carbon road bike. We have to rely on youtube to make a choice !

So I sold it, and am now deciding between either the dogma F or the sl7. Great bike. But not a bike that makes me happy owning one if that makes sense. So between the two, it’s certainly the supersix for me.

I have put several 100 miles on both of these bikes in recent months and I must say there is one huge difference. The way they take power. If you can lay down some watts the TCR is going to feel like an angry snake beneath when you apply some power to the pedals. The bottom bracket and frame twist and shout, impersonating wet linguine at an Italian karaoke night. I was very disappointed in how the TCR felt under acceleration. The Supersix felt like every other Supersix I've ridden, snappy and taking that power and turning it into speed.

Basically the conclusion is that there is no real winner. For price/quality Giant wins, but purely on performance Cannondale wins. Where Cannondale wins as well in my opinion is that during the last 3 decades they have been the #1 pioneer in bicycle innovations. It's not just that they win all independent tests for example for frame stiffness and aerodynamics, but the money you spend goes in R&D to make bikes even better, compared to Giant where your money doesn't go to bringing bikes to the next level, but rather in optimizing the cost structure. In my opinion it's not strange that with all the money Cannondale spends on R&D, you pay a slightly higher price tag.

I have it on my Systemsix and it doesn't look as bad. But I agree it does look a bit out of place on the Supersix

Good review but I won’t pick either one. The frame sets for both are just too skinny and the bikes look weak. I like the 2009 giant tcr zero. On top of that bike manufacturer that does offer rim brakes is a big no! I got myself a pinarello dogma f12 rim brake and I am please. Next bike will be a colnago! Rim brake of course. In the future I will have a titanium custom made and of course rim brake!

yes, my heart is with the EVO

Evo without a doubt. Looks mod, rides like a charm with amazing wheelset (excl tyres). TCR is, well, just boring. Fit a PM (pedals) and decent tyres to Evo and its way ahead

The old Supersix was a real gem. This new generation is garbage. Research the headtube issues. It’s unreal they are putting this to market. The TCR is a proven frame that has kept its identity whereas cannondale sold its soul. Miss the old Evo and so glad I have one !

@@johnhirka654 if Idiots over steer to lock , something you can't do while riding, then can't blame bike. New evo blows away old one. Had evo for a while with zero issues.

Madtriboy blows away … interesting … based on? Being heavier? Numb steering and feedback? The old evo was a race bike. Current is an endurance bike. Lose your pride of ownership syndrome Anyone who has raced bikes would say the same. I’ve ridden the new evo , and it’s dull. Simply lacks any character the original had.

Madtriboy totally disagree 30 inch tires and higher front stack is for endurance bike not a race bike. To each their own. Glad you like it. I have ridden it and it was numb.

If the Evo had the power meter then you wouldn't even look at the tcr
