Because when you get on the stylish team model, get the Enve carbon wheels banging and hear the Lefty fork smacking, you feel like a team colleague of Manuel Fumic. No other manufacturer fuses as many components with the frame as the Americans. The new Lefty allows for a lower cockpit, the larger fork offset and the slacker steering angle ensure playful handling that was previously unknown on race bikes. To ensure that fatigue does not put an abrupt end to the rush of speed, the Save 2 seatpost filters out impacts. So nothing stands in the way of the next flash.
ConclusionCannondale sets the bar high with the F-Si: incredibly fast and playful handling.
PLUS Playful and good-natured handling, sensitive fork, lightweight frame, very comfortable, lifetime warranty
MINUS Special chainring spider and specially centred rear wheel required (Ai rear triangle), expensive
The alternative If you save on the carbon wheels and switch to a double drivetrain with XTR/XT mix, you can save 1500 euros. Plus point for the F-Si Carbon 1 for 5499 euros: reliable XT brakes.
