Dan Evans’ National Hill Climb winning bike
We take a look at the Cannondale Supersix Evo Dura-Ace Di2 that propelled Dan Evans to the Hill Climb National Championship win
Newly-crowned British Hill Climb National Champion Dan Evans showed us his title-winning machine after conquering the Pea Royd Lane climb in South Yorkshire on Sunday.
Evans’ 2013 Cannondale Supersix Evo Dura-Ace Di2 tips the scales at just over 5kg, or 11lbs.
From a distance, Evans’ Cannondale doesn’t look heavily modified, but there’s attention to detail throughout to keep the weight down

Vittoria Crono Evo 22mm tubs
A striped down Cannondale SiSL2 chainset to leave just the 39-teeth ring. 172.5 crank arms with Look Ti Keo Blade pedals. No front mech with just the Di2 link cable tucked in the mech hanger
No mistaking whose bike this is… Dan Evans
Evans used Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 with a 28 sprocket in the locker if needed. Only the 25 sprocket was used in the end
