Cannondale Slate gravel bike prices and specs revealed
Paul NormanAugust 4,
New gravel bike has lefty suspension fork and 650b wheels
Pride of place at the recent Cycling Sports Group show in Wantage went to the new Slate. We’ve covered Cannondale’s pre-launch videos of the Slate in previous posts. Shown in Army Green with a Shimano 105 drivetrain, the most radical feature is its Lefty Oliver carbon suspension fork, which has 30mm of travel.
Big tyres with big clearance
The Slate also comes with 650b wheels, which are shod with Panaracer filetread 42mm tubeless tyres. Because of the larger tyre diameter, this results in an outside diameter for the wheel-tyre combination which is the same as for a standard 700c wheel shod with a 23mm tyre.
>>> Cannondale’s 2016 road range: the best bits
This means that the chainstays can be the same length as for a standard road bike, which Cannondale says results in agile and quick handling. The front-centre (the distance between the bottom bracket and the front axle) is extended relative to a standard road bike though, to give the bike more off-road stability and better handling over rougher surfaces.
Lefty Oliver suspension fork has 30mm of travel
Although suspension is a boon on the uneven surfaces for which the Slate is designed, it can be a disadvantage on smoother roads and when climbing as the up and down movement reduces pedalling efficiency, so there’s a lock-out on top of the fork for when it’s not needed.
The Slate’s aluminium frame comes with a BB30a bottom bracket, Cannondale’s Save Plus compliance zones built into the chainstays and seatstays, flat mount disc tabs and a 27.2mm seatpost. The front wheel uses Cannondale’s lefty hub, while the rear has a 142x12mm thru axle. There’s forward compatibility with electronic groupsets and internal cable routing for a dropper post too.
Wide junction between the seat tube and bottom bracket
The Slate will be offered in three builds for 2016. The army green 105 version which was on display comes with Cannondale’s Si chainset with 52/36 FSA chainrings and Shimano hydraulic brakes with 160mm front and 140mm rear discs. It’s priced at £2499.99.
Next up is an Ultegra build with a Cannondale Hollowgram Si chainset with SpiderRing single piece forged 52/36 chainrings and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. For £2799.99, it comes in grey with orange highlights and silver Cannondale logos.
Chain stays have a flattened flex zone
SAVE Plus chain stays have a flattened flex zone
Top of the range at £2999.99 is the Slate Force CX1 in black with stealth Cannondale logos and purple accents. This comes with a Cannondale HollowGram Si hollow forged chainset with a 44 tooth single chainring. At the rear there’s a SRAM Force CX1 derailleur running a SRAM X1 XD 10-42 cassette. Brakes are SRAM Force CX1 hydraulic discs.
There’s a new video of the Slate recently released by Cannondale.

First Look: Cannondale Habit
A new short-travel trail bike from the Connecticut brand
Photos by Sam McMain
Video by Scott Smith
The details are out on Cannondale’s new trail machine after a couple months of photos and speculation floating around on the internet. The bike was seen in the wild this past weekend at the Downieville Classic, where Team WTB/Cannondale rider Jason Moeschler pedaled it to a victory in All-Mountain World Championship. The new bike is called the Habit, and it slots into Cannondale’s line between the Scalpel and the Trigger, sporting the dressings of a short-travel trail bike.
First impressions
Cannondale sought to strike a balance with the Habit, aiming to create a bike that would suit both cross-country riders looking for something more capable and more aggressive riders looking for something with less squish and a bit more snappiness. After an afternoon riding the Habit, it seems like Cannondale has achieved its goal, although for our tastes the bike felt more skewed towards pedaling efficiency and lightweight than suppleness and downhill capability.
The Habit Carbon 1 we tested had a snappiness that was immediately apparent on climbs and flat ground. The combination of the bike’s geometry, low weight and 27.5 wheels meant that the Habit responded to pedaling input with quick acceleration and was easily maneuvered on climbs.
Cannondale Habit 1
It’s no surprise that aggressive descenders won’t find the capability of their longer-travel trail rigs somehow jammed into the Habit’s 120 millimeters of travel. The same maneuverability and light weight that made the Habit a pleasure to blast uphill on had it feeling a bit out of sorts on technical downhills, and we couldn’t help but wonder if this bike wouldn’t have benefited from the stability and rollover offered by 29-inch wheels.
Cannondale Habit
An afternoon isn’t enough time to really feel out a bike, but our short-term impression is that the Habit is a great option as a trail bike for a cross-country rider or a cross-country bike for a trail rider. The Habit’s snappy, poppy disposition make it a pleasure to rip uphill and on flowy, less-technical trails. It’s a bike that will encourage you to climb faster and have more fun without having to go in search of the gnarliest descent at your local network. Stay tuned for more on the Habit here on bikemag.com and in a future issue of Bike. – Jon Weber
Cannondale Habit
Frame Details
The Cannondale Habit is built around an all-new 120-millimeter-travel chassis. Up front is a 68-degree head angle and a 120-millimeter-travel fork. Both the carbon and aluminum versions of the frame utilize Cannondale’s Zero Pivot seat stays, which are intended to compensate for their lack of an actual pivot with built-in vertical flex. The swingarm pivots move on thru-axles which are held in place by expanding collets and require no special tools for servicing. Cannondale’s argument for flex stays is based on weight savings (size large frame weight is just under 2,000 grams) and the lateral rigidity allowed by the pivot-free design.
Cannondale Habit Chainstay
Braking forces and vertically flexing seat stays don’t play well together, so Cannondale mounted the brake on the chainstay instead. The Lefty, which is featured on seven of the 10 Habit models, gets a 50-millimeter offset and a new damper tune, which Cannondale claims keeps the fork from packing up over chundery sections and also keeps it riding higher in its travel.

Horse for the Course: Cannondale Slice vs world’s toughest Ironman 70.3
Lightweight TT bike for 1,800m of climbing in torrential rain
The Cannondale Slice was the perfect partner for this hilly half-Ironman

The Profile Aeria cockpit offers a stiff base with plenty of adjustment
The TriRig Omega X brake is ultra light and aero, yet packs a huge amount of stopping power
The Quarq SRAM Red 22 power meter helped avoid overcooking the bike leg
Reynolds Assault / Strike wheels proved a sensible choice for a combination of aerodynamics, crosswind stability and decent braking
The Strike has a deeper rim, aiding aerodynamics at the rear. A pair of Specialized Turbo clinchers gave excellent grip in the rain
An utterly disgusting saddle-mounted setup that failed in nearly every way

The Slice took on the wet lanes of Exmoor and proved a real-world weather beater
Having had plenty of time to get used to Cannondale’s newest Slice TT bike, it was time for its final exam. In a test tailor made for the lightweight tri bike, it would be pitted against the 56 miles and 1,800m of climbing at Ironman 70.3 UK Exmoor in southwest England.
The event was described as the world’s toughest 70.3 by two-time Ironman world champ Chris McCormack and the spiky profile route profile certainly backs that up with a series of steep climbs over two laps that swap leg power for lactic. Naturally, there are equally sharp downhills to contest with as well as some fast rolling sections to help get the average speed up.
The cannondale slice in race-ready mode:
Ready to race: the Cannondale Slice with various 'one-percenter' upgrades
Being one of the lightest, most comfortable and best handling TT bikes out there, it’s a challenge ideally suited for the Slice. But as winds kicked up and rain pelted down on race morning, how would the bike fare in the real-world conditions it's designed for?
The course: Ironman 70.3 UK – a leg-sapping, gradient-happy hill fest with 1,800m of climbing over two laps (that elevation figure differs with online maps, but three different Garmin units have put it at just over 1,800m).
The equipment goal: a lightweight TT bike that can climb well, remain comfy and handle confidently in the poorest conditions.
The horse: A 2015 Cannondale Slice Ultegra 6800 with TriRig Omega X front brake; Reynolds Assault / Strike wheelset; Specialized Turbo tyres; Profile Aeria Carbon bars; Quarq SRAM Red 22 power meter with 52/36t Q-Rings; Cobb JOF saddle.
Race day would mark my fifth time taking on the route – or ninth and 10th laps counting it that way – so I knew exactly what was in store. I also had the 2013 event’s crap weather to compare to this year’s really crap weather. At least the swim meant I was going to be wet whatever happened when mounting the Slice.
The bike course drops back to the lakeside before the first hill. This shouldn’t have been notable except for the fact that the very first bump in the road after leaving transition sent my saddlebag skittering away behind me with no hope of recovery on the athlete-thronged road. I hoped the Specialized Turbo tyres were up to scratch, or rather, that no scratches would test them over the next 56 miles. This early catastrophe also meant a wonky rear bottle cage that made getting the bottle back in a real pain in the behind. Why couldn't I have just used a regular tube-mounted bottle cage? Because, you know, aero.
The road pulls up and away from the lake at a relatively peaceful grade that still means out-the-saddle grinding for many who didn’t pack a 28t cassette at the back. That very cog, along with my 36t ovalised Q-Ring, meant an easy enough time to allow the heart rate to settle a little. The Slice felt stiffly stable and totally in control despite the waterlogged roads.
The slice took on the wet lanes of exmoor and proved a real-world weather beater: the slice took on the wet lanes of exmoor and proved a real-world weather beater
The Slice's practical nature made it ideal for real-world rain
After a swift down and steep up – the bike’s lightness helping to avoid too much of a drop in cadence – it was onto the fast rolling section. Dropping into race pace, the Slice was the least of my worries as crosswinds threatened in every hedgerow gap and rain battered down, making visibility an issue. The Slice proved adept at shrugging off the blustery gale, its TAP (truncated aero profile) tubes giving little for the wind to push against, which definitely helped ease the nerves and maintain a semblance of comfort despite the downpour. The bike also held its momentum superbly; its aerodynamics and lighter weight sending me fast downhill and quickly up onto the next rolling rise.
The combination of TriRig Omega X front and Shimano Ultegra direct-mount rear brakes was a winner even with carbon rims in the wet. This was proven by the one technical descent, which curves swiftly down a hillside to end in an almost 180-degree left turn. The power of both brakes is to be applauded while the strength of the TriRig is especially impressive given its minimal weight and aero-centric design. The centre-pull brake had been easy to adjust before the event too. The Tektro brake levers specced here have a wider profile than Shimano's and aided a good grip with numbing hands.
Following a fast flattish section, the road kicks up imposingly for one of three significant climbs. Not too long, but with plenty of steepness to overcome, it tested the Slice’s back end, which remained true with no brake rubbing – the less said about the contrast to many other riders’ bikes the better. (But seriously guys, didn't you check before riding?!) With the Slice, we’re not talking the kind of sprint-away stiffness offered by a true climber’s road bike, but it certainly holds its own against aero road bike competition and is right up there in TT bike terms, but without foregoing too much comfort.
As the climbing continued, the front end was challenged by out of the saddle efforts. The stiff Profile Aeria carbon bars helped the Slice hold its line, the bike coping admirably with hamfisted rocking of the bars – and that’s with a full bottle between them. Being a mechanical group, gear changing isn’t as easy as would be ideal, but that’s reflected in the price of the stock bike.
Once over the last big climb, where even in such awful weather the crowds were showing their support, it’s false flat / gradual uphill for the last few miles of the loop. The Quarq was telling me that while it looked easy, I was putting down quite enough power despite the slower speeds, so it was back into a comfortable aero position to pace my efforts carefully until the end of the lap.

The TriRig Omega X is a fantastic upgrade if you've got a front-mounted brake on your TT bike
The beauty / tragedy of a lapped course is that you get to experience the literal and emotional highs and lows all over again. The beauty came in form of the countryside, which was stunning despite the wet weather and the fact that every pedal stroke was one closer to transition. The tragedy was in the hills, which seemed longer and tougher and the fact that every pedal stroke was one closer to transition – and the half marathon that would follow.
The Slice behaved just as well second time around, even if its engine wasn’t quite as powerful. It might’ve been launched in Kona, but it’s really a bike perfectly suited to hilly time trials and triathlons. Slap on a lightweight climbing wheelset such as Mavic’s R-SYS SLR and it’d be ideal for the likes of Ironman Nice or the Alpe d’Huez triathlon.
While the hills might uncover the bike’s most obvious gains, its stiffness and light weight serving to lessen climbing intensity, all the real-world riding has shown it to be a really fast bike all round. It led me to a 3:12:16 bike split, which while not too impressive in itself, was the fastest time I’d ever done there despite the atrocious rain. For those who care about such things, the Slice also got me to transition in enough comfort to let me knock 10-minutes off my best run there too. In horse for course terms, it was certainly a perfect fit.
