HI-MOD
Carbon fiber is like a piano. Don't tune it right, and it's junk. Which is why Cannondale's HI-MOD unidirectional carbon fiber sounds so sweet: Greater design flexibility and tube profiling precisely tunes ride quality.

MONOCOQUE FRONT TRIANGLE
Better performance from a lighter frame that uses less material? It's possible when design is optimized and frame loads are integrated as part of the engineering process. That's the beauty of Cannondale's monocoque construction.

SINGLE-PIVOT DESIGN
For long-distance riders looking for premium pedaling efficiency with excellent suspension response and lower maintenance requirements, Cannondale's use of a single-pivot design makes sense. Marathon riders don't need to worry about link flex or losing energy to an inefficient suspension set-up.

SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Integrating components into the frame design shaves weight and boosts performance. Little wonder other companies have begun to follow Cannondale's lead more than a decade after we started using Si. On the Rush, Si is used both at the head tube and bottom bracket for premium steering and pedaling performance, respectively.
