Cannondale CAAD 8 Sora
Light. Speed.
Always get a good start. Totally redesigned for 2012 with features drawn from the CAAD10 and Heads Up race geometry, the lightest-in-class CAAD8 blows away the concept of entry level.
Cannondale Aluminium Expertise
Double-pass smooth welds, taper-butted tubes and the refined tube-shapes of the CAAD8 showcase our more than 20 years of aluminium frame-building experience.
Heads-Up Race Geometry
The CAAD8 shares the proven race geometry of its more expensive brethren but with a slightly taller headtube for a more relaxed riding position.
CAAD10 DNA
CAAD8 shares many of the performance features, like the asymmetric chain stays, horizontally ovalized top tube, and SAVE vibration-reducing stays, of the ultra-high performance CAAD10.
