Cannondale
Not Carbon. Not Sorry.
A lineage of fast aluminum shaped over decades—smooth welds, clean geometry, road-true handling. CAAD14 is built for the pure feel of road riding: the pull, the side-glance, the shoulder-to-shoulder sprint, the arms-up finish.
What it's for
All-in attacks. Full-gas sprints. Fearless cornering. Feeling alive.
Not Carbon. Not Sorry.
Not Carbon. Not Sorry.
CAAD14 delivers the ride that made Cannondale famous – the perfect blend of smooth and snappy. Explosive, immediate and alive, with razor sharp handling and instinctive response, CAAD14 is built to take the inside line, crush town line sprints, and dance away on climbs.
Cannondale Advanced Aluminum Design
We’re CAAD to the core. It’s in our DNA. We’ve been pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with aluminum longer than anyone, and with CAAD14, we’ve taken all those decades of experience, all the learnings, all the Grand Tour wins and World Championships, and distilled them into something special. This is high-performance aluminium as it was meant to be.
Raw Performance
The classic frame silhouette offers a unique aesthetic, staying true to the material instead of trying to mimic carbon shapes. CAAD14 highlights aluminum’s strengths, enhancing the ride experience in harmony with the material’s natural qualities.
Built To Last
CAAD14 is built to go the distance. With proven aluminum construction, timeless design, and ride-all-day performance that holds up year after year, it’s the kind of bike you’ll still be racing, training on, or just loving to ride long after others have moved on. Built to excite. Warrantied for life.
Easy To Own
Let’s be real—this bike was built to be ridden hard. That’s all part of the appeal. So, we made it easy to own, with reliable, easy-to-source parts like a threaded BB, UDH, and a 27.2mm seatpost. Which, of course, makes it simple to customize if that’s your thing. Make it your own.
Performance Within Reach
With CAAD14, you get the performance and quality you expect from Cannondale, packaged in a way that offers added value. It's the perfect entry into Cannondale high-performance road riding.
