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.
