Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

Cannondale CAAD12 Ultegra 3 Road Bike 2016 Red/Black

Season:2017

Brand:Cannondale

Code:C13246M5050 - CDALE17

The Cannondale CAAD12 Ultegra 3 Road Bike 2016 revolutionises aluminium road bikes, taking the material to new heights thanks to its incredible manufacturing process, producing incredible stiffness and ride quality at an insanely low weight, it's the ideal choice for aspiring racers, fast club riders and anyone else looking for a seriously quick alternative to the run-of-the-mill carbon bikes of today. Flow-modeled smartformed 6069 alloy is a brand new manufacturing method developed by Cannondale to yield lower weights whilst radically improving compliance and maintaining their trademark frame stiffness. Creating fluid, organic shapes for the Cannondale CAAD12 helps eliminate stress-risers and allow for the material to be concentrated where it's needed, complete with double-pass smooth welds for ultra strong joints that handle stress evenly. 

SPEED-SAVE Micro-Suspension delivers over 50% more compliance and comfort over its previous iterations, with redesigned seat stays and chain stays to have even more vertical deflection whilst remaining stiff laterally and torsionally. This provides the Cannondale CAAD12 Ultegra 3 with great rear wheel tracking on the road, improving acceleration, cornering, grip and ride comfort. Another new design is the SPEED SAVE BallisTec carbon fork, this one-piece, uncut carbon weighs in at just 290 grams and provides incredible increases in lateral stiffness and compliance.

Elite Race Geometry is the same used in the brilliant SuperSix EVO, keeping you in an aggressive riding position that maximises cornering potential, a key feature when compared to its alternatives. A Shimano Ultegra drivetrain performs smooth and reliable shifting mile after mile, the CAAD12 Ultegra also features a Mavic Aksium Elite wheelset for great low rolling resistance and stability.

Cannondale CAAD12 Ultegra 3 2016 Features

  • Flow-modeled smartformed 6069 alloy creates flowing, organic shapes that are lighter, stiffer & more compliant.
  • BallisTec Hi-Mod Carbon fork with a 1 1/4" tapered steerer for precision steering.
  • SPEED SAVE vibration damping technology reduces fatigue and increases comfort.
  • Shimano Ultegra 6800 components for reliable shifting and braking performance.

Getting the right fit

The right size bike for your body size is essential to ensure the optimum experience, comfort and enjoyment as you ride. With sizing varying between the type of bike, the brand and even the model, getting the perfect fit can seem daunting. That’s why we’ve compiled a handy guide to help you get the correct size. 

Measure Your Height

Our handy size charts match your height to the appropriate frame size so you need to be sure you’ve measured your height accurately.

  1. Take off your shoes and stand with your back against a wall.
  2. Make sure legs are together and your shoulders are back.
  3. Place a pencil on top of your head and mark the wall (the best and easiest way to do this properly is with a friend to help you).
  4. Measure from the floor to the pencil mark you have just made with a tape measure.

Range of Reach

For most people to get the right frame size, measuring your height will suffice. However, you may find that your height is on the borderline of the range we suggest for a particular frame. If this occurs you need to measure the range of your reach or “Ape Index”. This will ensure you get a comfortable distance between the handlebars and your saddle.

  1. Stand up straight with your back against a wall.
  2. Life your arms out horizontally either side of you.
  3. Measure the distance from fingertip of one hand to fingertip of the other. This will give you your arm span.
  4. Subtract your height from this figure to get your Ape Index.
  5. If the result is positive (your arm span is greater than your height) you should go for the larger size of bike.
  6. If the result is negative (your arm span is less than your height you need the smaller size.

Stand Over Height

You should also consider your inside leg measurement when choosing your bike to ensure adequate stand over height. Stand over height is the clearance between the top tube and the bottom of your crotch. For mountain bikes we recommend a distance of 2-4 inches and for road or hybrid bikes 1-2 inches of clearance is required. This will ensure comfort when you’re stopped and standing astride the bike.

Our bike sizing charts take stand over height into consideration but if you have a particularly long or short inside leg measurement in relation to your height you will need to bear this in mind when selecting your frame size.

Riding Style

The way you ride and the type of bike you are into will also impact the frame size you should choose. For example, a trail devotee looking for an aggressive ride may prefer a smaller, more manoeuvrable bike size. It all comes down to personal preference and how the bike feels to you.

Our sizing charts aim to be as specific as possible so you can look up the particular type, make and model of bike you’re looking for. Remember, the sizes given in our guides are suggestions and should be used for general advice only. For the best possible fit  we recommend popping in to your local Leisure Lakes Bikes store, or call 0800 083 0888 for expert advice tailored to you.
