Cannondale SuperSix Evo Hi-Mod Team review

A bike that looks great and handles incredibly well

Cycling Weekly Verdict

If you are a fan of the previous SuperSix Evo, you’ll love this one even more. Cannondale has taken everything that made the old one special and made it better. It is ever so slightly lighter, but the main improvement is regards to handling and feel. The new Evo loses marks for the slightly antiquated wheels and BB30A, which can require attention. However, if you are in the market for a lightweight race bike and are the type of rider that likes to attack on climbs and descents it’s hard to look beyond the Evo. Being a bike that provides good levels of comfort, you can be confident the Evo won’t beat you up on long rides too. I love it

Outwardly it looks very similar to the old model. The new frame, however, has been fully redesigned with superb results, creating a bike that earned a runner-up spot in our 2016 bike of the year.

That model came with Ultegra, but the one we have here is the Shimano Dura-Ace Di2-equipped Cannondale team bike.
