Cannondale 700 U CAAD 14

If you want a road bike that feels fast, responsive and ready to be pushed, the Cannondale CAAD14 is built for exactly that. Developed from Cannondale’s long-standing CAAD aluminium platform, this 700c road bike combines a lightweight SmartForm C1 Premium Alloy frame with sharp handling and efficient road performance.

The CAAD14 is designed for riders who enjoy everything from fast training rides and weekend road adventures to spirited climbs and all-out sprints. Its road-focused geometry gives it a responsive character, while clearance for tyres up to 32 mm adds versatility and comfort on real-world road surfaces.

Finished in Chalk and offered here in 48 cm, the CAAD14 3 is an excellent entry point into Cannondale’s performance road-bike range.

Key Features:

• High-performance aluminium frame – The SmartForm C1 Premium Alloy frame delivers a responsive ride while keeping the benefits of aluminium.
• Road-focused handling – Designed to feel quick and precise when accelerating, cornering and climbing.
• Full-carbon fork – The CAAD14 carbon fork helps reduce weight at the front while contributing to precise handling.
• Shimano 105 2×12-speed drivetrain – Provides smooth and reliable shifting with a wide range of gears for everyday road riding.
• Hydraulic disc brakes – Deliver controlled braking performance in different riding conditions.
• 32 mm tyre clearance – Allows the use of wider tyres for additional grip, comfort and control on varied road surfaces.
• Clean internal cable routing – Keeps the cockpit and frame looking streamlined while protecting the cables.
• Race-inspired design – Built around the responsive feel and efficient handling that define the CAAD family.
• Practical everyday performance – A road bike capable of handling training, commuting, long rides and faster-paced sessions.

Ideal For:

• Road cyclists
• Beginner to intermediate road riders
• Riders upgrading to a performance road bike
• Cycling enthusiasts looking for an aluminium road bike
• Fast training sessions
• Weekend road rides
• Long-distance road cycling
• Road cycling in Mauritius
• Riders who want responsive handling without moving to a carbon frame
• Cannondale fans looking for a performance-focused road bike

Why It Stands Out?

• Aluminium with a performance mindset – The CAAD14 doesn’t treat aluminium as a compromise. Cannondale’s SmartForm C1 Premium Alloy construction is designed to deliver the responsive and energetic character expected from a performance road bike.
• A responsive ride – The CAAD14 is built for riders who enjoy feeling connected to the road. Its geometry and frame design are focused on quick reactions, efficient acceleration and confident cornering.
• Carbon where it matters – The full-carbon Delta Steerer fork helps keep the front end light and contributes to precise steering, while internal routing creates a clean appearance.
• Ready for real roads – With clearance for tyres up to 32 mm, the CAAD14 can accommodate wider rubber for additional grip, comfort and control when road conditions aren’t perfectly smooth.
• A drivetrain you can rely on – Shimano 105 mechanical shifting provides straightforward, consistent gear changes without unnecessary complexity, making it suitable for both regular training and longer rides.
• Built to keep riding – The threaded BSA bottom bracket and UDH-compatible design make the bike practical to maintain and adaptable as components evolve.
