New Cannondale Supersix Evo Review! The best light aero race bike? 

Man I can’t unsee that painting now that you mentioned it!

The styling of road bikes from roughly 2010-2016 was so good, there are so many bikes from that period that are absolutely beautiful much like this Super Six Evo.

You can still get Gen 4 Supersix Evo 3 with 105 di2, slightly heavier, but has the same geometry and then you can slowly upgrade it with better wheels and handlebar of your liking. With those slow upgrades, it will still be cheaper and you get almost the same frame as Hi-Mod.

After over a decade on a Specialized, I purchased this bike (w/ the Shimano groupset). I also swapped out the "aero" poor quality bottle holders. I would not have purchased the bike if Cannondale had not switched to the new bottom bracket. I have been very impressed and pleased with purchase.

Why complain about the price of a Lab71 (which is designed for their race team) and not complain about an SWorks SL8?

Great review as always, David! And I agree with you regarding the paint fade should have been consistent on the down tube and fork!

It’s a great bike, I’m on my 3rd Supersix, and have owned at least a dozen bikes. The reviewers are missing a big factor that this is a very comfy bike, taller stack and the only bike I’ve found that feels as quick as the SS while being not as aggressive as a Tarmac, etc is IMHO the Cervelo Caledonia 5. I’ve done some major rides and some pretty bad roads across the US, and have used 32c tires but always found 30c tires on the Supersix to be the sweet spot on some nice wide 25 internal wheels.

I wonder why routing the cables through the headset bearing is considered better. With the old one, you could change the stem without re-routing all the cables.

1:09 “almost level top tube” most important quality in a bike is the horizontallest top tube.

I've been riding this exact bike for the last few months and I absolutely love it. I can't get over how fast it is. According to my strava data, I'm going about 4% faster on it than my old bike for the same amount of power. The old machine was a 2018 Cannondale Synapse that I fitted with Enve Foundation 45 wheels and a nice aero carbon bar, and it felt like a good fast bike that I could comfortably take on fast group rides. My new SSE is in another league. A lot of people seem to discount the R-SL50 wheels on this bike, but I can only presume that they're a key part of the aero equation that makes this machine so much faster than my old one. The build one spec down (with the same wheels and frame) tests as very aero by Tour magazine (207W), and that is without the one-piece momo bar which is purported to save another 3W or so over the two-piece bar and stem on the Hi-Mod 2 build they tested. Anyway, I've been absolutely thrilled with it - it's been over 3 months and I'm still very much in the honeymoon phase where I feel a rush of joy every time I take it out for a ride!

That 2012 SS Evo in the stormtrooper colorway was my favorite bike I've owned. It just didn't have the tire clearance for 25c tires.

They’ve nailed it with the Supersix. It’s slippery too 💨

I love everything about this bike.. just wish it was in stock. It’s almost impossible to get the non-himod version now😢

Every ridiculously expensive race bike you test just shows what an absolute bargain the Giant TCR is. For the money it is the best value race bike available by far.

Enjoyed the review, David. If cost wasn't the deciding factor, and you had to choose between this bike, the LAB 71, and the SL8, which would you choose?

Thanks David. At first I thought this was something cannondale released this week as opposed to the bike for 2023. Realize now that this is the first time you’re getting to review it. Really good review !

Good call on the plastic top cap for the stem. I noticed it right away. That’s ridiculous, I’d just throw it in the garbage where it belongs.

'Threaded BB means no more creaking'.... I have a feeling that comment will come back and haunt you, especially as they are trying to cram 29mm axle through a 33mm hole, and a debonded BB shell is virtually irreparable. They should have just sorted the QC on the PF30.

Yes! I have been waiting for a review of this one for a long time.

Now I can’t unsee the non-fade in fork colour 😂

Great video again! Only the range of the new Gen 4 Supersix Evo starts at 3k pounds. With all the improvements ;)

Black and yellow frameset for me. (I had been expecting your take on this frame, taa David!)

The best yet? The best yet? The best yet? The best yet? The best yet? The best yet? The best yet? The best yet? The best yet? The best yet? The best yet?

Hi David! I bought an aethos expert ultegra DI2 , C38 wheels. Its nice. This cannondale is superb! Thanks for reviewing this machine!

Weird...cannondale site says clearance for 34mm tires.... did they update it since your recording?

Do we as a cycling community just accept that bikes are 10k+ and we just think it's normal to hear that in a review? Some hitting 15k for price. To touch on the last minute of the video, how much better are these bikes really getting to warrant that level of cash? Do people really go into a shop and throw down 15k and buy a bike? The aero jersey you had on during the review is doing more aerodynamically for you than the alleged 12w savings of the frame/system.

Yeah, would be good if fork had a color on it like the blue one. Love that color way

Great video!!! Between this and the Giant Propel, which one did you prefer?

The official tire width says 30mm with 6mm clearance either side which means 32 wouldn't be a stretch. It's pretty spacious in person!

why pay that much for a carbon frame (which isn’t time) when you could get custom titanium for ≤?

I am definitely not a racer.Would you recommend this bike for long one day event with plenty of climbs during the day?

I am on the same bike I manage to put some zipp 303s with some Victoria Corsa 700 x 34 and if it’s just fine with no scraping at all.

Fit 32mm measured tire comfortably

I got the new hi-mod2 a few months ago and have had nothing but issues with the carbon seatpost slipping.

I noticed a lot of the cockpit shots riding are not with the one piece on your bike. What’s going on?

Hi David, every bike u review are amazing, the best, so quick. Lolzzz.....So which bike is the best since every bike u review is fast???? LMAO!!! We no longer have honset review on bike....please enlighten me why disc brake bike are so sluggish when i ride?!?! I didn't feel the latest tech bike as what u said though!!!

What size supersix are you running, david?

Are we slightly annoyed/relieved that for thousands of dollars, a bike manufacturer threw in the towel and admits they can't make a circle through a frame, so they go "back" to threaded BB?

I am planning to upgrade from an aluminium Cannondale Synapse that I have been using since 2019 to a carbon race bike next year, and the new SuperSix Evo is one of my possible choices. The other contender is the new Canyon Ultimate. Let's imagine we compare similarly specced bikes. What would be the pros and cons of each? Which is more comfortable for long rides?

I hate that it sorta has a relaxed geometry for an aero race bike. That top tube needs to be more parallel to the ground

Yes that might not be the best paint scheme, but overall across the collection you will find the best color schemes out there these days

Hi David , just wondered what glasses you was wearing in this video please , cheers

Do the drops flare out or are they the same width at the hoods than they are at the drops? Thanks in advance!

Despite winning some awesome races on mixed terrain, how come I hear noone ever talk about the Look Blade rs?

Hi David, GREAT review, may I ask your height? You said you're riding a 56. Personally im 180cm, and current on a size 54 BMC SLR01, but have fallen in love in the Supersix. I think I am same size as my BMC, but stumbled on a comment somewhere a user that was 181cm riding a 54, wrote it was too small for him. So I reckon im between two sizes, and prefer to take the 54, but would prefer to try the model before buying (can't find a shop in Copenhagen) and have found the model online, but it's a bit risky just to order before trying Any advice? Cheers

beautiful bike. I considered this bike but opted for the tcr instead

The BB insert looks like it isn't a single piece so there will still be misalignment issues.

I am waiting for The new 2024 TCR!

Need a review on the time Alp Du Huez 23

The same new Cannondale design bike with a bit more heavy carbon layout. Ultegra Di2, 45 deep carbon wheelset, carbon handlebar...$5,500🤯. Please next reviews...Cannondale EVO 2 vs Specialized Tarmac SL8 Pro vs Madone SL 7 Gen 7. Take care buddy and good luck.

Dave, have you ridden both the Hi-mod and the Lab71? How do they compare on the road?

thats a beautiful frame, especially in that matt anthrazit and that left side shot at 4:38. But yes, that hard line and especially the glossy finish on the fork is irritating, it does not resemble anything else on the bike. Anyways, boring, maybe, but the cool type of boring, the range rover type boring.

I own a previous generation SuperSix Evo HiMod. It's a great bike and I love it. I recently purchased a new bike and went with the Tarmac SL8. There are just too many great bikes out there for me to want to ride the same model generation after generation.

How many stars out of 5 do your rate it?

This or a ventum NS1?

How tall are you? And inseam measurement? You tested a 56cm?

I wonder which is faster this bike or the Giant Propel?

Wow I'm the first to comment. David I love your videos.

What is the computer mount that you are using on that ? I am getting the same one and looking for a solid computer mount.

definitely don’t care for the price of a lab71. I have never ridden a Cannondale, but a evo hi mod is slightly more palatable price. I don’t care for special aero water bottles/ bidons and or cages. Something that hold standard water bottles is best.

David, I am looking for a fast bike that can also do hills. Do you have a preference for the super six vs new Giant propel?

the trend is not our friend: meaning in ten years high-end bikes will go for 20 grand and higher just because some sunday-drivers need to show their new status-symbol...

Nice looking bike from size 54 and up. But for sizes 51 and lower the frame angles and proportions get so squished that it looks like a crumpled soda can.

I take the team machine r

Ripper of a bike!❤

Nice Evo but doesn´t Ben Healy rides the System6 when he gets in the breakaway to win stages?

great looker, but prices are just running rampant

Hmmmm. I think I agree with all of your criticisms except for the rectangular water bottles. I think those will be easy to get used to in a half dozen or so rides. These bikes are too expensive for me and I am a software engineer that makes about $100,000 USD per year! I'm looking at new brands from China like Winspace and Yoeleo.

Great bike, but not in stock untill mid 2024.. bought the SL8 last month, only 2 weeks from order to delivery. Cannondale needs to get their **** together or loose more potential buyers.

Why do road bikers have twiglet arms? I don’t get it.

Looks much like the BMC teammachine

Damn that’s a nice bike. and much less wanky than the sl8.

Is this Hi Mod 1?

Will there be a full review on SL8?

Still riding my 6.5kg supersix that I got off a barrister for 1500AUD. BLASTS the new bikes out of the water. Strava times dont lie. The new bikes are slower.

SL8, should also be in the mix.

hate the font of the logo... looks like a toy bike

Is there ever a bike that isn’t “the best new ….” on this channel? 🤣

Bikes should be reviewed without spacers to get the best feel of their handling.

That blanking plate on the down tube looks awful. At that price you’re going to be using electronic shifting. Luckily that dog’s dinner of a stem cap takes your eye off it 🤦🏻‍♂️ the paint is a disaster too but at least they’ve done away with the pin of death in the head tube.

Cannondale just can't help themselves - so they've finally given up on pressfit BB's but are trying to replace that with a new non-round bottle standard instead 😂

Good luck if you have any issues, Cannondales customer service / warranty is nonexistent, life time frame warranty my arse, stick with Trek. / Specialized.

£1000 for a 40g saving 😂. the bike industry is laughing at its customers 🤡🤡🤡 don’t be a clown and pay it.

Do an honest road test. This gravel bike against the rim brake Evo. We all know the what the result will be. Problem is it would encourage people to keep their very light and rapid old bikes rather than 'upgrade', and we couldn't have that.

Recent gen Cannondale is ugly.

Bikes these days all look the same 😴

Never buy a focused aero bike they crap

Cannondale is definetely a no, no for me. Not a good bike or a brand. Good luck upgrading with their Ai system.
