Before shopping for a new bike, it is important to know what type of rider you are. It helps in finding the right bike and accessories to fit you just right. There are typically four groups of road riders: cyclocross rider, elite road rider, performance road rider, and the multisport rider. I'll tell you about each group and what bikes fit your style best.
Cyclocross Road Rider: If you enjoy a mud covered bike and chilly air, you may be a cyclocross road rider. The cyclocross rider usually prefers the Cannondale Cyclocross series. The frame is all aluminum and light weight, which helps make it a true all purpose bike. The three 2009 models are: Cyclocross 2, Cyclocross 5, and Cyclocross 6.
Elite Road Rider: You are an elite road rider if you daydream of riding the best climbing bike all the way to the top of the Tourmalet or racing ahead on a super efficient bike. There are more bikes to choose from in this category, which are the SuperSix, Six, and Caad9.
The SuperSix is made entirely of HI-MODulus, unidirectional carbon fiber that gives an efficient and precise ride when it really counts. The four 2009 models are: SuperSix HI-MOD Team, SuperSix HI-MOD Red, SuperSix HI-MOD 1, SuperSix HI-MOD 3.
The Cannondale Six is a top choice for racers all over the world. They are full carbon and have the same pro-Tour features as the other Elite bikes. The tubes on the front triangle are oversized and help to give a spectacular performance. The hourglass shaped seatstays give a vibration damping comfort that gives a competitive edge. There are six 2009 models: Six Carbon 1, Six Carbon 3, Six Carbon 5, Six Carbon 6, Six 5, and Six 6.
The CAAD9 line is another option for the elite rider. It is an aluminum bike that mixes comfort with race winning characteristics. The three 2009 models are the CAAD9 5, CAAD9 6, and CAAD9 7.
Performance Road Rider: The performance rider expects high performance in addition to high comfort. The bike for this group is the Cannondale Synapse. It is ultra comfortable and there are a variety of frame materials and paint jobs to choose from. The eight 2009 models are: Synapse HI-MOD Red, Synapse HI-MOD 1, Synapse Carbon 3, Synapse Carbon 4, Synapse Carbon 5, Synapse Carbon 6, Synapse 5, and Synapse 7.
Multisport Road Rider: Last but not least, the multisport road rider has Kona to think of. For this group, the Cannondale Slice is the way to go. Its race proven design puts the rider in a lower position allowing minutes to fall off of their best times. The four 2009 models are: Slice HI-MOD Ultimate, Slice HI-MOD 1, Slice HI-MOD 3, and the Slice HI-MOD 5.
Cyclocross Road Rider: If you enjoy a mud covered bike and chilly air, you may be a cyclocross road rider. The cyclocross rider usually prefers the Cannondale Cyclocross series.
