All too new bike CAADX, always for cyclocross, which brings the debut of the new aluminum frame CAADX. The frame tubes are conical in different thickness, and aluminum 6061 heat-treated to achieve hardness T6.

The CAADX has a higher head tube and head tube angle larger than the SuperX, a more upright riding position and a more direct control of the bike. The welds are smooth. The hourglass shape of oblique blades allows better shock absorption for increased comfort and control.

The blades are asymmetrical horizontal, to better manage the loads from the transmission, keeping the size of that of no guidelines to reduce weight. Available sizes are: 44, 48, 51, 54, 56, 58, 61.

Assemblies are Shimano Ultegra and 105.
