Cannondale Quick outfitted with safety and comfort features
With new safety and comfort features the Quick is designed for commuting, fitness and leisure
Cannondale have redesigned their flat-bar fitness bike that is designed for commuting, fitness and leisure. The 2017 Quick has been given new safety features like highly-reflective graphic elements on all key areas of the frame to enhance visibility and a more slack and comfortable rider position. Cannondale say that the Quick is a stable, comfortable fitness bike that is the lightest in its class and with 360-reflectivity allows riders to be highly visible at night or in inclement weather.

“Cannondale set out to create the most versatile fitness bike on the market, with its refined blend of capability and downright fun,” said Burton Avery, product manager at Cannondale. “Whether taking an early morning ride across town or coming home from a late night gym session, the all-new Quick is a rider’s perfect partner on the road to fitness.”
Using Cannondale’s OutFront Steering Geometry, also used on the redesigned cross-country mountain bike the Scalpel-Si, the bike is given increased stability while still being nimble.

The Quick is made from Cannondale’s SmartForm C2 Alloy which features Cannondale’s SAVE Mirco-Suspension. The technology is designed to give the rear triangle flex zones that help to absorb shock and reduce road vibration which Cannondale says increases rider comfort and control. The bike is also designed to be light for its class so it is easier to carry when necessary. The bike comes equipped with handlebar grips that are ergonomic and a saddle with pressure-relief channels.
For increased stopping power in wet conditions, some models of the Quick are equipped with hydraulic disc brakes. All models come with rack and fender mounts to allow riders to outfit their bike to handle inclement weather and help carry the load when out running errands or commuting to work or school.
The Quick will be available in eight models beginning in mid-May 2016 starting at US$400 and going up to $1200 for the top-of-the-line hydraulic disc models.
