Cannondale SuperSix EVO

… ideally, you’re buying this bike because your goal is speed. That’s what the SuperSix EVO is for, and it’s very good at it.

… if I was coming in fresh looking for one of the very best lightweight race bikes to date, the 2023 SuperSix EVO would be on the shortest of shortlists.

I’ll hope for some running changes to iron out the wrinkles I found with the new bike, but even as it is, the new SuperSix EVO looks to be an exciting design that delivers on the difficult task of improving upon an already excellent bike.

The Cannondale SuperSix EVO 4 2023 is an incredibly exciting bike – the first of a new generation of lightweight race bikes.

If you can live with what I felt was an ever-so-slightly-harsher ride – one that is largely negated with a swap to 28mm tires – you’ll find one of the very best fast road bikes you can buy today.

… this bike… has a traditional lightweight feel, combined with great handling and steering characteristics as well as sturdiness on the flat. This, alongside Cannondale’s claims of its aerodynamic properties, makes it a real all-rounder…

… we think that Cannondale has… succeeded with the… SuperSix EVO: aero bike, lightweight, with good builds at all price levels…

This Cannondale SuperSix EVO 4 is a bicycle designed to be faster everywhere, but which manages to amaze on climbs where you can maintain a high speed and also on winding descents where it feels like you’re on a track.

Overall, therefore, the first impressions were super positive: we are talking about a really complete ‘race machine’, fast but also light and pleasant to ride in all situations.

Undoubtedly, a bicycle that is placed directly at the top among the most sophisticated competition models of the season.

To the initial question of whether the new 2023 Cannondale SuperSix EVO is the perfect bicycle for everything, yes, for us it is, but with certain nuances.

It’s an excellent bike… I had never tested a Cannondale, and I didn’t understand how a bike could so dominate its category and win all the prizes. Well, now that I have tried it in this new 2023 version, I understand.

The bottom line is that the SuperSix EVO Hi-MOD 1 is a very light, fast road-racing machine that appeals to both racing cyclists and, with slightly different equipment, ambitious recreational athletes.

… this SuperSix EVO seems very well-designed, enhancing the qualities of its predecessor without falling into the pitfalls of bikes exclusively reserved for professional riders who demand 300 watts on long climbs to avoid feeling burdened by it.

… my impression of the latest SuperSix is that it drives straight into the top hierarchy of the road-bike market… I predict that [it] will… become a benchmark in the industry for optimal performance in perfect harmony with driving characteristics.

… the Cannondale SuperSix EVO Hi-MOD 1 we rode displayed no weaknesses in the initial test, making us want to ride it for many more kilometers.

Although the previous generation was not at all outdated, Cannondale remains at the front of the pack with the new SuperSix.
