In commemoration of the 30th anniversary of Cannondale Japan, the Japan-only “CAAD13 Frameset Japan Anniversary Edition” will be sold exclusively. It is a premium frameset with the brand logo at the time of its founding as the head mark. Below is an introduction from the press release.
Birth of CAAD13 Frameset Japan Anniversary Edition
To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Cannondale Japan, the CAAD13 frameset was born with the brand logo at the time of its founding as the head mark. The design is based on the “Cannondale 3.0 series – Black Lightning”, which was sold as the flagship model of the road bike at the time, and faithfully reproduces the color pattern of the frame. This frameset features the signature Black Lightning logo on the chainstays and a full carbon fork that didn’t technically exist at the time. A special frameset that fuses tradition with technology that has evolved over the course of 30 years has been completed.
What is CAAD13
An aluminum frame whose design goal is to compete evenly with a carbon frame. Faster, smoother and more capable than anything we’ve seen before, the CAAD13 is designed to give you a machine that can compete with the competition’s carbon frames. In terms of speed performance, by cutting off the rear end of the wing cross-sectional shape, it achieves the same or higher rigidity than a normal round tube without changing the weight. On top of that, we have succeeded in reducing air resistance by more than 30%. It allows you to run faster with less power than ever before.
