Cannondale Flash F3
The World’s Best Hardtail. Lighter Than Most Elite Carbon Road bikes, Tougher Than Most Aluminium Bikes, Stiffer and More Compliant Than Titanium. Science Fiction Becomes Engineering Fact.
Pure and simple. An aluminium clone of our boundary-breaking Flash Carbon, the Flash Alloy is everything you need and nothing you don’t.
SUPER LIGHT WEIGHT:
At 1450g, Flash Alloy is lighter than most of our competitor’s carbon offerings.
CANNONDALE ALUMINIUM:
Flash’s sophisticated SmartFormed tubing manipulation and our trademark double pass smooth welds reflect our almost 30 years of aluminium supremacy.
SAVE MICRO-SUSPENSION SYSTEM:
Careful shaping and wall thickness manipulation on the chainstays and seatstays allows them to deflect vertically while remaining stiff laterally and torsionally, absorbing shock and enhancing control.
