Trek Top Fuel 69er

2008-07-06T21:39:00.000-07:00

Ride

Race bike fast, trail bike confident. The 29" front wheel provides superior rollover and traction characteristics, while the 26" wheel keeps the wheelbase short and maneuverable. Fast acceleration, nimble handling, and stable high-speed descending are all traits of the 69er.

Fit

Technology

Balanced frame geometry and fork offset helps the 69er carve through single track like it's on rails, but is also stable, smooth, and fast when the trail opens up.

Longer front tire contact patch provides unbeatable cornering traction.

Decreased angle of attack allows the front wheel to roll over trail obstacles better.

Short chainstays for quick handling.

Custom-offset suspension fork provides both slow-speed maneuverability and high-speed stability, while keeping wheelbase length the same as a 26er.

Cannondale SystemSix® 1

2008-07-06T20:46:00.000-07:00

Cannondale have always had a habit of doing things slightly differently, with the effect of making their bikes stand out from the crowd. The System Six is their no holds-barred race bike, and it certainly makes a visual statement.
“This is not a fashion statement. It wasn't conceived to please the crowd. It wasn't designed to confer status. It was meticulously crafted by a team of performance obsessed engineers to achieve a single, specific objective. Victory.”

So, designed for victory apparently... Well, looking at the design of the frame, it's not hard to see how much effort the designers have put into extracting as much performance out of the double diamond design, with some quite notable design features.

At the heart is a carbon/aluminium frame. The front end (head tube, top tube and down tube) is made from high modulus uni-directional carbon, with a unique lay-up process, which is then grafted to a CAAD9 aluminium rear triangle (bottom bracket, seat and chain stays). This is opposite to the more usual alu front/carbon rear approach, but Cannondale state this design helped them to better achieve their goals of an extremely light and stiff frameset. A 56cm frame will bring the scales sliding round to 1,115g, despite having tubes bigger than anything you've seen before.

Large head tubes have always been a Cannondale speciality. The System Integrated front end is the name given to the fork/steerer tube, head tube and stem combination, which have been designed as one, with the result being a lighter and stiffer assembly than the more traditional alternatives. The steerer tube, for example, is 1.5” diameter at the crown and tapers to a 1 1/8” when it reaches the stem.

Trek Equinox 7 WSD

2008-07-06T20:27:00.001-07:00

Ride

Superior aerodynamics for maximum speed.

Stable and balanced so you can concentrate on going fast, instead of worrying about what the bike might do next.

Fit

Reversible aero seat mast gives riders a choice between a traditional 73° road bike seat tube angle or a steeper, more aggressive 79° seat tube angle.

Women's specific geometry addresses the key anatomical differences between men and women

Achieves the the proper balance between the hands and hips to give female riders better control and comfort

Technology

Alpha Red aluminum frame modeled after the Ironman-winning TTX.

Highly-shaped top tube provides a 20% increase in lateral stiffness at the head tube (compared to the previous design) and creates structural stiffness so wall thickness, and thus frame weight, can be reduced.

A lowered down tube reduces the gap between the front wheel while the trailing edge of the fork crown integrates smoothly with the down tube. The result is frame and fork interface that presents a virtual continuous surface to the wind for superior aerodynamics.

Internal cable routing enters the frame behind stem to keep frame surface “clean” and maximize aero efficiency

SuperSix Ultimate

2008-07-06T19:18:00.000-07:00

For those who've been watching the 2008 Giro d' Italia and seen the SuperSix in action under Team Liquigas, it may not come as a surprise to you that this is one light and responsive bicycle. So with the buzz running wild about just how good the SuperSix is the staff at Bikeradar.com wanted to give it a go for themselves.

Here's just a few comments from their report.

Stomping on the pedals for quick speed delivers instant results, and getting into a groove on the brake hoods when climbing ultra-steep roads was effortless.

Mere mortals like us are entitled to the creature comforts of performance riding, and the SuperSix scores big on this

The stiffness gurus in Bedford, Pennsylvania understand the benefits of stiffening the steering, and by using carbon throughout the rest of the frame they've achieved a tangible nirvana for stiffness seekers throughout the peloton

Cannondale's racing pedigree, starting with the Crest team of the late 1980s and currently with Liquigas and the US outfit HealthNet, has contributed greatly to the credibility and research and development of the 15.1lb SuperSix

Known primarily as a fine aluminum producer, riders will be more than impressed with the silky and responsive ride of
