Cannondale SystemSix - Long Term Review

Good to know this sexy thing does well climbing.

Sooooo, you changed.....
The handlebars, the wheels, the stem, the seat, the gearing but other than that....... its the same? Nice

Thanks Matt. Literally looking to get a new one this week... Di2 so helps to have a "real world" review

As a fairly light rider 55kg and use to riding a 6.5kg bike (pedals/cages/mounts) how do you think changing to something which is approx 2kg more (for a mid range areo bike) will have an effect on riding?

Hey @Matt, i am considering buying this bike as well. On the Cannondale Website this Bike is 7.8kg (with ultegra DI2 and the Hollowgram Wheelset). In this video your bike has other wheels and a different bar and stem.
Does your bike wheigh 7.4kg with paddles and bottle cages?

And yours is a 54 inch frame I can pick one up new for 3700. Is it worth the cash

What height are you pal. Was looking at getting 54 and I’m 5ft 8

Seatpost is the same... seriously 😂

What gearing did you use for the Alps

How’s the sizing in this bike? I have a giant defy that’s 55.5cm from crack to the top of the seat tube. Would you recommend sizing up to a 56 or down?

I've had mine for 2 years now and have roughly 6,000 miles on it. I absolutely love it. Its a bit on the heavy side but overall I love it! Wish there were accommodations for a tool kit. I'd love to switch mine over to Di2. I've went to a larger rear cassette for climbing and put new brake pads on it.

Would you look at doing Caad13 review as not a great of independent reviews out there

Front tyre is the wrong way round .....

How do you find the gap between the top of the forks and the frame, given there looks a big open gap when you turn the bars etc. does it retain water when out in the rain or cleaning as doesn't look like there's anything to stop it going down what looks a big gap, plus looks like nowhere for it to drain if it does?

hey，i wanna know your Castelli saddlebag is in small size or large size

What is the real max tire clearance ? Is there room for a real 32mm tire ?

Are the knot 64 wheels compatible with other bike frames?

My 2nd Generation System Six 60cm (Dura Ace Non-Hi Mod) weighs a whopping 23.6 lbs and is a tank but does pretty well in semi rolling hills here in my area of south central Pa. I also have a Cannondale Evo (Hi-Mod) for the bigger hills. I might add that I've had it for a little over a year now and it's got a LOT of miles put on it in that one year timeframe. Seems like a great bike aside from it being extremely heavy but from the pros vs cons you do save on output wattage due to its aerodynamic features.

Great review. Great upgrades. I think your front tire is mounted backwards.

Great Video! I have made similar experience on my SystemSix (same Dura-Ace mechanical model). In the end, how much did you spend on the upgrades (excluding the wheels)?

Any BB issues ?

Much neater with the cables hidden away.
