Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Cannondale Quick. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

14 reasons to buy

Reviewers and buyers say the build quality, specification, and performance make the Quick very good value.

The Quick comes in step-over and step-through frames and multiple frame sizes.

Cannondale offers the Quick in a range of builds and price points.

Testers and buyers agree the Quick is fast, agile, and fun.

Owners and reviewers relish the “quality” build and finish.

Eye-catching reflective accents on the frame enhance safety at night.

Owners and experts say the bike’s relatively low weight makes it easy to lift and carry.

A reviewer says the stiff, efficient frame provides good acceleration.

Buyers savor the Quick’s speed and stability on smooth roads and light gravel trails.

The Quick Women 3’s 35mm puncture-resistant Schwalbe tires are grippy and absorb a lot of road chatter, according to a tester.

Reviewers and owners agree the hydraulic disc brakes are powerful and easy to modulate.

An expert says the relatively upright riding position is comfortable and improves visibility in traffic.

The included wheel sensors connect to the Cannondale app for easy ride tracking.

The stem is compatible with SP Connect smartphone cases.

5 reasons not to buy

An expert bemoans the lack of female-specific contact points on the women's models.

Buyers must pay extra for lights, mudguards, and a rack.

Some buyers lament “noisy” hydraulic disc brakes. One notes that the Quick 6’s V-brakes don’t perform well in the wet.

One owner says bumps can be “a bit jarring.”

A buyer complains that the Quick 5’s stated Matte Black is actually Gloss Black.

Bottom line

Cannondale's Quick is a family of fitness bikes that inject more speed and agility into the traditional hybrid segment. The 35mm tires make it possible to enjoy light gravel trails. Experts and buyers agree the Quick is fast, comfortable, and fun. They relish the "beautiful" paint, praise the stopping power of the disc brake builds, and appreciate the relatively low weight. Lights, fenders, and a rack aren't included. The 'women's' models lack female-specific saddles and geometry. The stiff frame can transmit bumps too efficiently. Nevertheless, the Quick is celebrated as great value in this segment.
