2016 Cannondale CAAD8 Sora

Cannondale SAVE micro-suspension technologies are the industry’s premier vibration and shock reduction systems. SAVE uses engineered flex in the frame and fork to not just reduce felt vibrations, but also increase the consistency of tire contact on uneven surfaces.

As a result, SAVE-equipped Cannondale frames roll faster through bumps with confident, neutral handling in any conditions.

BB30

Back in 2000, Cannondale revolutionized bottom bracket technology by oversizing the bottom bracket shell and replacing the heavy, flexy steel BB spindle with a 30mm aluminum spindle with a unique, stress-reducing wave-taper crank interface. The result was BB30, a system that is not only significantly lighter, but also significantly stiffer than traditional designs. We released the design as a free industry standard and the rest, as they say, is history.
