Great review - am awaiting delivery of this exact bike - can't wait. Been a believer for 2 years in my Caadx - incredible ride feel. For half the price of the SuperSix equivalent it's the deal of the year. I'm planning to ride the snot outta mine in crits, tours and CX races. One bike to rule them all!
Just went out on my first ride this morning. Not sure what is the best thing about it; I would say the comfort and smoothness with the precision of the handling. It replaces an elderly Canyon aluminium bike, and it is definitely a step into the modern era for me. I have the 105 disc version, which is a boon for the long descents (I live in Switzerland). I had sub-compact rings (48/34) fitted for the hills and to save my knees. The only thing I don't like about it is the 'mantis' paint job, but as long as I am sitting on it I don't really see it. I even got used pretty quickly to the Prologo 'prolapse' saddle, so I am holding off fitting my Brooks Swift until I am sure, it can always go on my Brompton. I'll give it a solid 9+/10.
OMG, this is awesome. And I actually looked at Cannondale’s webpage last night to see if there was such a thing as a CAAD 13 yet. There wasn’t... until now.
I have a 2019 CAAD12 and a 2016 SuperSix. The CAAD12 is just an amazing frame. I am really intrigued by the CAAD13 ...
I like the frame design👍🏾👍🏾
Love this new bike. 👍
I really do like the new design. I like the fact that the Caad 13 is incorporating areo shapes into the frame, but I better not hear a squeek outta that bb, the Allez also has bb30 and its never squeeked. Im more than certain it comes from the stiffness of the BB on the Allez, anyways I love the Caad 12 it is for someone who has to train on crap back roads, or city streets, its amazing how it absorbes bumps, something I do not ever do on the allez, I get jostled and uncomfortable unsettled feeling from the road imperfections. But fix that BB Cannnondale, then I'll come back!
I unfortunately have one and the bb shell is out of spec. Its 72mm wide instead of the stated 73mm. Yes it squeaks, knocks and eats bearings. Why can they not do bb shells to stated spec? Buyer beware.
Great bike , and I’m a cannondale lover , and I own supersix, caad8 and caad12. The Caad 12 is much better to the 13 for me. It’s pretty impossible to upgrade from the 12. They should have just left it alone. No thanks 13.
Why is it when I check for prices online I can't find anywhere that has prices anywhere near those quoted in this video? The basic 105 rim brake version is over 1500 quid...
Rip everything I liked about cannondale's lightweight, traditional triangle geometry, no aero hype, affordable bikes.
Ay! The 105 Disc is not a lost cause, even tho I agree-I really damn miss the CAAD12 geo and look. I own both, but will probably still only race the CAAD12 thrillpool.com/blogs/thrillreview/cannondale-caad13-review
caad 10 was $1600 usd starting, the caad 12 is 1800 usd starting, with a lighter, stiffer, better frame with a full 105 groupset. what are you on about?
RIP the sculpted welds of my old CAAD9 that I stupidly sold. These welds look horrible.
What I want to know is why is the 105 rim version of the bike for sale in the UK at the moment for £1600 when it is said to be £1330?
Is this VAT knocking the price up or will it come down as the year goes on?
I love my caad10 and my 2015 supersix.....do not like the dropped seat stays at all! ..looked at a 2019 caad12 this weekend and it's a sweet ride in a nice color so what's up with the ugly cream/tan color?
My lovely one ;) I have the black pearl 2020 version
The seatpost shape looks just like what I have, (and don't like) on my Giant TCX.
Wow. CAAD13! Sloping?
this is indeed amazing....both bikeradar and cycling weekly upload the video on the same day, with the same model (the 4,000 one) even though the models start at 1,300 pounds...
Snd of course, both are touching themselves over it because that is what you do in sponsored items. Even some of the dialogues are fuckin same!
That's because they went to the same product launch in Oxfordshire UK and were handed the same bike.
This isn’t a paid ad. Uploading on the same day is because of the media embargo. When journalists/influencers go to product launches they get a date and time set until which they have to withhold all their online articles and videos so that everyone does a good instead of there being a competition about which magazine gets their content out first. And yeah, same high spec because that is what always gets provided for the launches. Same with cars, always the high priced and most profitable specs get shown off first.
But I agree with you that these „first look“ videos are often pretty much just the company’s description of the bike they get in the press release because they all withhold their impressions for a thorough review
yeaaahhhh kind of rough. for something unbiased about the 105 disc CAAD13 model thrillpool.com/blogs/thrillreview/cannondale-caad13-review
I ride Merida Scultura 400 (GS105, frame Alloy-6066) and plan to replace it with better One. CAAD12/13 is among the bikes on my list. How much performance improvement would it be If I switch from my Merida to CAAD12/13?
Literally none
They’re pretty same in terms of performance given same group sets and wheels/tyres
Anyone know when it goes on sale?
My Boardman CX (£900) has hydroformed tubing and pretty much invisible welds, hard to tell it's not carbon (you need to look at the BB for any visible welds). I don't understand why Canondale/Specialised can't do the same?
Matthew Franklin Spot on. Boardman was making smooth welding as early as their first hybrid and road bike came out in 2008/2009 or earlier. For both Specialized and Cannondale, unless those weld increases extra stiffness to the frame, I do not understand why they cannot use the welding technique demonstrated by Boardman.
Because they are cheapskates
Will it fit tubeless?
Ill stay with The CAAD12.
What are they speculating the price to be dollar wise?
I'll keep my CAAD12
Are the handle bars adjustable?
4:29 what’s the thing in the front wheel, a speed sensor?
Jonathan Zappala yep, new sensor. Records up to 900 hours of speed, distance and time. Works in conjunction with Cannondale’s app or Bluetooth enabled headunit👌🏻
No mention of creaks from the BB30?
13 not upside down?![V] Keeping my Caad 10 and Evo 1.0
What brand stem?and handle
CAAD 13 or Specialized Allez? 🤔
i just saw the ultegra rim brake version at my LBS and it looks really good in the dark color (the welds blend in well) - and apparently is quicker and more compliant than Caad12, which is a classic. i'm interested and i think the lower spec versions have appeal and value
Apparently is NOT quicker and NOT more compliant tan Caad 12 so stop long.
Cannondale ! what are you doing here? welding is really bad👎 the old Caad 5 was perfect !
69.5cm saddle height . 51cm sound right
Not for me thanks; much prefer the 'classic CAAD' geometry.
I also don't buy the aero benefits of the tubing. The amount of drag reduction will be less than imperceptible to anyone.
What's the weight?
8.79kg in this 4k build
@@Slavestothesystem i could buy a carbon bike for less LMAO
Jeez the welds are horrendous, I used to own a Caad10 and they were a lot smoother, reminds me of a cheap£100 mtb from a supermarket. Come on Cannondale for the money you are charging smooth the welds down and charge a few quid more ffs
I'm pleased I'm not the only one thinking that those welds are hideous. I'm disappointed really, because I have been waiting a while for this bike to come out, but I think I'll just take a discounted CAAD12
I’ll stick with my CAAD 10
Same! Still love that bike.
I hate it! I hate dropped chain stays! I love I adore my caad10 black on black!
Terrible colour + it’s 4K! You’re joking! I’ll keep my 12.
Welds 😝
I've been riding one for about 3 months now, and have also logged about 3 years on my CAAD12. My thoughts on the CAAD13: thrillpool.com/blogs/thrillreview/cannondale-caad13-review
Great review fellow bike blog nerd (www.bikebagtrip.com) - let me ask you, I thought of doing exactly your process, buying the 105 and upgrading components. In the end went all in on the top of the line model. How's it working for you so far - be very curious to know. Also, how wide a tire have you been able to fit - do you think you could get a 38 or even 40 on those forks or rear stays? To me it looked super possible in the store - am scheming to race mine CX, but don't tell anyone :) Be well.
what's with those welds? I've seen better welds from kids learning how to weld.those welds look like a growing fungus
They still haven't moved back to threaded bb's. Mudguard compatibility is a huge plus however. The BB issue makes it a pass for me. That and those ugly dropped seatstays.
Man, you never know if these bike «reviews» are sponsored commercials or an unbiased first look. Not just on this channel, but most of the youtube bike channels, where they just seem to be reading from the comany’s promo material (very enthusiastically). I don’t see this uncritical approach in other genres (tech, cars etc) on youtube.
All of our commercial content is clearly stated as paid in the first 10 seconds of a video.
When we shot this video we hadn't a chance to ride it for test & review, so another video will follow soon.
In case of Cannondale bb30 if reviewer mention squeaking it means is not paid... If does not mention it has to be paid. Simple
Glad it’s available in rim and disc. Cyclists choice
Cannondale passed this bike around between UK reviewers... I know it's the same bike others had because I can still see the terrible weld at the top tube/seat tube junction.
They should be more careful which products they release for review and broadcast! That weld is ugly
Is this a bike or a woman?
Weld snobs?? They look similar to the CAAD12’s welds. That bike is supercala-fragilistic expiala-dopeshit.
I told you it will come.
aerofoil tube, dropped seat stay, slanted toptube. whats the point of having a caad anymore?
Not best looking bike, perhaps a new paint job might help or not.
Caad was the workhorse of the industry. Got the job done and affordable. Not pretty but top of the line performer. Now it’s uglier and more expensive???
Cannondale is taking advantage of its long run of success with the CaAD line and should just stick to what made CAAD great.
Pretty ugly. Still loving the looks and ride of my old matte black, Cadd 10 Ultegra. Plenty fast and fun for me!
For such a price should be smoothed welds!
FRANCAADWELDSTAIN.... Cannondale must have mixed the fact its not a 2002 but a 2020 model. I would be embarrassed to put this bike next to Emonda ALR. And then those rave reviews full of marketing mambo-jumbo... Guys you're losing all of your credibility with an expense of being invited to the launch event and being among first to do the "review"....
Don't waste your money, grab a second hand 12, much better.
8.79 kg
For a top of the rage model
No thanks, ridiculous weight.
How u know about weight? 🤔

@Click Bait so a 105 disc version will weigh about 9.9kg wow
That paint job looks like you stole it and repainted it.😅
BB30 bottom bracket, worst welding ever seen, not a full group set for the most expensive alloy bike ever lol.... stay with the 12 or a allez
still a bb30
That thing is fugly !!!
4 grand for an aluminum bike? No thanks
The color is hideous and the seatstays ruin it. One of the allures of previous CAADs was the classic geometry. This bike looks like everything else, plus it weighs the same as the CAAD12? . On previous models, it was a no brainer. I am in the market for another race bike and Cannondale will need to convince me that the CAAD13 is a better option than many of the competitors, including the CAAD12. Not sure what is going on but Cannondales are starting to look like they are just taking different design cues from other brands and bringing them together IMO. Nothing wrong with that, but aesthetically, it doesn't work for me. If I wanted the non-classic design, I'd be looking at a TCR or an Allez/Tarmac.
I don't understand why both Specialized and Cannondale have such ugly weld lines. My 2006 Trek 1500 has cleaner welds on it and likewise the Emonda ALR has very clean lines. If I were a betting man I'd bet they were left ugly on purpose just to differentiate between this and the carbon bikes. Several shops mentioned the reason the Emonda ALR isn't offered with kit above 105 now is just that Trek were losing too many sales to themselves but with a lower margin product.
For real though what is up with these terrible colourways
horrendous looking .. ffs whats with the crap welding ???
Those are some ugly, chunky welds! Cannondale needs to take a page from the book of some smaller boutique companies and refine their welding technics.
i thought the same.. my older CAAD8 had much smoother looking welds.
Cant agree more D:
Cannondale were the first to have smooth welds. Looks like they just lost their way.
Surely to God those welds negate any aero advantage the new tube shape gives!
I promise not to mention felt when it comes to this, but in defense of cannondale, welds are always ugly, even when done by the best of robots. To make them smooth I doubt a robot can handle the job, and the technician doing it by hand must be extremely careful not to wear out the tubing while grinding the weld. So this is hours of tedious work and would probably add 100s on top of the price.
The benefit, a few 10s of grams of weight savings and a rish of ruining a good frame. Nothing else.
Aesthetics?
If you are willing to spend a couple of thousand for an aluminum bike I doubt you want to hide the welds and make it look like carbon fiber. So for some of us, those welds are part of the pride and joy of sticking to aluminum.
Man totally ugly welds - totally looks cheap and thrown together.
FÖRST
You guys are brazenly selling out to manufacturers.
My granpa welds better than cannondale.. Ugly chunky welds
rubbish
Those are some of the ugliest welds I've ever seen on a bike
I am tired of hearing about how aero the tube shapes are. According to some aero engineers, those truncated shapes are no better than round tubes. I think it is all marketing bull. Colours are disgusting. Looks like snot.
The cannondale identity is dead as far as i'm concerned. The pros will ride it and don't give a fuck but why should I as a consumer buy this over any other bike now? In fact I would favor buying from competing brands now since this would piss me off every time I looked at it.
That is one shite looking bike. £4k! So we have an aero bike with terrible welding, we have some brake hoods that probably negate all that ...... they are enormous! Stock up on CAAD12 is all I can say ..... I have bought numerous CAAD's over the years ...... goodbye.
They took my caad12 and turned it into this? WTF 🤮
It looks like a gravel bike
Ugly paintjob
