Cannondale CAAD 12 Tiagra 2018 road bike
Road bike, SmartForm C1 Premium aluminum frame, Shimano Tiagra, rim brakes, carbon fork.
The Cannondale CAAD12 Tiagra road bike is built on a lightweight 6069 duralumin alloy frame. Thanks to several patented technologies, the frame forms a single unit that stands out for its low weight and excellent rigidity.
The Cannondale CAAD12 Tiagra bicycle frame is made with SmartForm C1 Premium technology. It is Cannonadle's most advanced dural processing technology. Simply put, it is a combination of removing excess material with advanced optimization of the shape of the tubes. Hydroforming, tapering, mechanical shaping, forging all contribute to the incredible lightness and rigidity of the frame.
Another of the patents is SmartForming. This is precise work with the thickness of the pipes and their shape. Thanks to this, the material is concentrated exactly where it is needed. This maximizes the strength and rigidity of the frame. At the same time, every unnecessary gram of the entire structure is also removed. With the help of smooth conical transitions, all the internal weakening of the tubes is formed. This eliminates sudden changes in the thickness of the material, due to which the material could be overloaded.
Elements of SPEED SAVE technology eliminate small vibrations, increase riding comfort and at the same time help the bike to go faster. All this with an emphasis on low weight and torsional stiffness. The Cannondale CAAD12 accelerates so well and cornering speed is also significantly improved without a negative impact on power transmission.
The carbon fork, which is also capable of dampening small vibrations, contributes to the increase in comfort.
The Cannondale CAAD Optimo Tiagra road bike is equipped with solid Shimano Tiagra components with 2x10 speeds.
Cannondale Si cranks, which are lightweight, forged in one piece, have an exchangeable chainring system and are fully compatible with BB30 and BB30 centers, contribute to the efficient transmission of power.
A pair of Shimano Tiagra brakes with an axial pivot bearing, which reduces the friction of the jaws, and a new material of brake blocks with adjustable toe-in will give you confidence on the descents.
You can also rely on Schwalbe Lugano 700x25c tires, which excel in universal use and their grip will keep you going even in sharper turns.

Aluminium frame
Lighter, relatively durable and stiff material that is affordable. The most widespread material for the production of bicycle frames.
Road bike rim brakes
They use the transmission of energy from the lever to the brake arms via a steel cable, are lighter, more affordable and easier to maintain. The braking effect is lower in wet conditions. In addition to the rapid wear of the blocks, dirt can also cause damage or faster wear of the rim.

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.
