The Systemsix is an aero road bike engineered to be the fastest option for a wide range of riding conditions. It is the result of a holistic design approach, where every component—from the frame and fork to the handlebars, stem, and wheels—is developed as part of a single, integrated system to minimize aerodynamic drag. This focus on system integration sets it apart, making it not just a bike for flat-out sprints, but a high-performance machine that can excel on climbs and descents as well. The Systemsix is for riders who prioritize speed above all else and are looking for a competitive edge on the road.
Advantages
Exceptional Aerodynamics: The Systemsix is meticulously designed to cut through the wind. Its truncated airfoil tube shapes, integrated cockpit, and specially designed wheels reduce drag significantly. This Cannondale topstone allows riders to maintain higher speeds with less effort, providing a tangible advantage in races, sprints, and on the flats.
System Integration: The bike’s components are not just assembled; they are engineered to work together. The integration of the frame, fork, seatpost, and cockpit creates a seamless and efficient profile. The HollowGram KNØT SystemBar, for instance, offers the clean look and low drag of a one-piece setup with the adjustability of a two-piece system.
Speed in All Conditions: While its aero design is a clear strength, the Systemsix also demonstrates remarkable efficiency on various terrains. Its low-drag profile provides a power saving that translates to faster climbing on gradients up to a certain percentage, and its stable handling makes it a confident descender.
Stiff and Responsive: Despite its aero focus, the Systemsix doesn't compromise on stiffness. The frame is engineered to provide an instant response to pedaling and braking forces, ensuring that every watt of power you put in is efficiently transferred to the road for explosive acceleration.
Conclusion
The Systemsix stands as a testament to the pursuit of speed through intelligent design. It is a no-compromise race bike that leverages system-wide engineering to deliver a real-world aerodynamic advantage. For the rider who wants to go faster and is seeking a bike that is fast in sprints, on the flats, and even on climbs, the Systemsix provides a truly remarkable and efficient riding experience.
