About Cannondale Bikes

Cannondale has 2 bikes currently for sale on Cyclesite, the UK's trusted bike marketplace. Founded in 1971. Headquartered in USA. Known for: Well designed bikes that challenge conventional design thinking. Price range: £600 to £12,000+.

Cannondale has never been interested in doing things the normal way. The American brand started above a pickle factory in Connecticut and promptly set about upsetting the established order. Oversized aluminium tubes when everyone used skinny steel. A fork with only one leg when everyone used two. Integrated electronics when everyone just wanted to pedal. Love them or roll your eyes, Cannondale makes cycling interesting. The Lefty fork deserves particular mention. That single sided suspension fork looks ridiculous until you ride one. The stiffness and consistency it delivers actually works better than conventional designs on technical terrain. It captures everything about Cannondale: unconventional thinking that produces genuinely good results. British dealers stock the full range and the bikes suit UK conditions well. The SuperSix Evo handles wet roads with confidence. The Topstone gravel bike demolishes bridleways. The Scalpel mountain bike has proved itself at World Cup level. You pay a premium for Cannondale but you are buying decades of engineering that refuses to accept good enough. Some cyclists find the brand personality a bit much. Others would not ride anything else.

Popular Cannondale models include: SystemSix, SuperSix EVO, Synapse, Scalpel, Habit, Topstone, Moterra, Jekyll.

Best for: Cyclists who appreciate engineering that does things differently

All Cannondale bikes on Cyclesite are verified against UK stolen-bike databases before listing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Cannondale bikes good quality?

Excellent quality backed by serious engineering investment. They pioneered oversized aluminium frames and continue pushing boundaries with carbon layup and suspension technology. Build quality is premium, warranty support is solid, and dealers are plentiful across Britain.

What is Cannondale known for?

Doing things differently. The single sided Lefty fork is the obvious example but their whole approach challenges convention. Asymmetric frames, integrated electronics, unusual tube shapes. Sometimes this is genius, occasionally it is over engineering, but it is never boring.

Where are Cannondale bikes made?

Designed in Connecticut, manufactured in Taiwan like most premium brands. The engineering happens in America with serious investment in testing and development. Quality control is strict regardless of where final assembly occurs.

What is the best Cannondale bike for beginners?

The Trail series for mountain biking, CAAD Optimo for road, or Quick for commuting. These bikes bring Cannondale thinking to accessible price points around £500-700 without overwhelming new riders with exotic features.

Where can I buy used and second-hand Cannondale bikes?

Browse used and second-hand Cannondale bikes for sale from private sellers and shops across the UK on Cyclesite. Every Cannondale listing is checked against UK stolen-bike databases before it goes live, so you can buy second-hand with confidence.

What to look for when buying a used Cannondale

Cannondale bikes are best for cyclists who appreciate engineering that does things differently.

When buying any used Cannondale, start with the basics. Check the frame for cracks, dents, or damage, especially around the head tube, bottom bracket, and dropout areas. Look at the drivetrain for wear and make sure the gears shift cleanly through the full range.

Ask the seller for service history and proof of ownership. Every Cannondale listed on Cyclesite is automatically checked against UK stolen-bike databases, but it is always worth checking the frame number yourself too.

Typical Cannondale pricing on the used market sits in the £600 to £12,000+ bracket. Anything notably outside that range is worth a closer look.

Cannondale year-by-year guide

Started in 1971 above a pickle factory in Connecticut making camping gear. Built their first bikes in 1983 using revolutionary oversized aluminium tubes. Kept innovating ever since with the Lefty fork, BallisTec carbon, and integrated electronics. Now owned by Dorel Industries but still headquartered in Connecticut.
