Cannondale Slate Apex 1 SE 2018 gravel bike
Fun bike for new challenges and sports enthusiasts, road bike with off-road capabilities, Lefty Oliver fork, Full Fun geometry, the main goal is fun.
Cannondale Slate is a new category of road bike, which is called "Fun Bike". Slate is a bike for those who are looking for new challenges and do not want to swallow miles just on the road and also want to try some of the trail and experience a little excitement.
LARGE TIRES - 650BX42C
The basic idea behind the Slate model is based on the idea that if solid 42c wide tires are fitted to 650B diameter wheels, the same rolling quality, the same outer diameter, is achieved as with the 700x22c (bicycle / tire) combination. This means that in this way we can achieve huge grip in corners and driving thanks to bulky tires. All this with ease of driving and speed comparable to conventional road machines. And on top of that, with great handling.
GEOMETRY SLATE "FULL FUN"
Since we didn't have to compromise on geometry when building the Slate due to the thick tires on the big wheels, we were able to focus fully on maximum driving fun in all situations. The short rear structure is the basis of playfulness and dexterity, while the longer front part and the more laid fork guarantee the stability needed on broken roads and especially then on trips on unpaved roads. The rider's position is somewhere halfway between the Elite Race and Endurance Endurance categories.
LEFTY OLIVER FORK
Designed to handle all your adventures. Lefty Oliver is a fork designed purely for the Cannondale Slate model. Stroke 30 mm, a strong effect of low-speed compression and a unique negative COG (Coil over Gas) spring for maximum stability when pedaling. Of course, there is also the control of the lockout and PBR bounce, the bonus is the carbon outer casing and the inner leg forged from OPI type aluminum. It is the most advanced suspension fork that has ever appeared in the world of road bikes.
SAVE PLUS MICRO-SUSPENSION
The distinctive shaping of the seat and chain stays on the Cannondale Slate ensures a perfect balance between the ability to absorb shocks and vibrations and high lateral rigidity. What more could you want when you fly down a rocky trail or cross a cobbled street.
PREPARATION FOR A TELESCOPIC SEAT
Nothing else will help control as much as a telescopic seatpost. Thanks to the diameter of 27.2 mm and the preparation for the internal control, it is very easy to improve your bike with this element.
FIXED AXIS SYNTATION 142X12
The fixed axle contributes significantly to the rigidity of the frame. The fixed axle thread is integrated into the interchangeable derailleur hook.

Aluminium frame
Lighter, relatively durable and stiff material that is affordable. The most widespread material for the production of bicycle frames.
27.5” wheels
Universal size for a wide range of bicycles. The advantage is better cross-country ability, higher traction and comfort, and still good dexterity. Slightly heavier.
Hydraulic disc brakes
Reliable in all conditions, better modulation of the braking effect with the use of less force on the lever. Heavier weight, more demanding service.

All bicycles at the MTBIKER shop are new, not-ridden, from an official distributor and with a full warranty. Several brands even offer a lifetime warranty on the frame after registration. We perform all warranty services in MTBIKER stores after personal delivery or after sending the bike (or its part) by courier.
- The bicycle is taken out of the manufacturer's box
- The bicycle is assembled, inspected and adjusted (front and rear derailleur, shock, fork, wheels,...)
- The bicycle is carefully packed back into a box and shipped
- If you order a bicycle for in store pick up or home delivery, the bicycle will be waiting put together, checked and ready to use for you.
- If you order a bicycle via courier to your home address, the following must be done at home:
- Take the bike out of the box and carefully remove safety material and foils
- Mount handlebar to stem (1 minute, 4 or 5 mm hex hey is needed).
- Mount front wheel to fork (1 minute, without the need of any tools if the bike has a quick release).
- Loosen the screws in the headset, straighten the stem with the front wheel, tighten the upper screw on the fork and then tighten the headset (2 minutes, 4 or 5 mm hex key is needed).
- Mount the pedals to the cranks while lubricating the thread and carefully mounting it the right way (1 minute, 8 mm hex key or 15 mm wrench).
- Mount seatpost to frame (10 seconds, without needing any tools if the frame has a quick link).
- Inflate the tyres or fork and shock to desired pressure (2 minutes, pump needed).
- Check the tightening of hex keys and quick-releases (2 minutes, 4 and 5 mm hex key is needed).
- Go for a test drive! Handle your bicycle carefully until you get used to it. If the bike has disc brakes, their performance will be limited from now on - they will gain their full power after 4-5 strong brakes at higher speed.
