Cannondale 2027: New Models, Road Highlights and E-Bike Power

Cannondale 2027: Neue Modelle, Road-Highlights und E-Bike-Power

For 2027, Cannondale is focusing primarily on the fifth-generation SuperSix EVO, the new CAAD14 aluminum road bike, the urban FlyingV, and the current Moterra series. However, many of these new products were already introduced between February and March 2026. As of July 31, 2026, Cannondale has not released a finalized, comprehensive overview explicitly labeled as the 2027 model year. Buyers should therefore distinguish between confirmed models and expectations that have not yet been substantiated.

When will the 2027 Cannondale models be released?

Cannondale introduces new bicycles by series rather than collectively at a fixed model-year changeover. Several models that dealers and cycling websites associate with the 2027 vintage have already been officially announced or listed on the German Cannondale website.

  • The FlyingV was introduced with a Bosch drive in November 2025 and is already available for purchase as the FlyingV 1 and FlyingV 2.
  • The SuperSix EVO Gen 5 followed in February 2026.
  • The CAAD14 was introduced in detail on March 10, 2026. Cannondale is already carrying complete models and framesets.
  • The current Moterra series with Bosch Performance Line CX and 800 Wh battery has also been released. Availability depends on the model, frame size, and dealer inventory.

Those waiting for 2027 Cannondale models do not necessarily need to plan until spring 2027. The first major wave of new products arrived in the first quarter of 2026. Further colors, equipment variants, or model updates may follow later, but can only be ordered after an official product listing.

SuperSix EVO Gen 5 and CAAD14 in comparison

Two different concepts take center stage in the road bike segment. The SuperSix EVO Gen 5 relies on carbon, low weight, and a seating position more geared toward racing. The CAAD14 uses a SmartForm C1 aluminum frame but adopts modern details such as internal cable routing, UDH, and a threaded BSA bottom bracket.

Model Frame Material Technical Features Suitable for
SuperSix EVO Carbon Gen 5 Carbon Delta steerer, internal cable routing, size-specific layup, UDH Racing, fast group rides, and ambitious training
SuperSix EVO Hi-MOD Gen 5 Hi-MOD Carbon Lighter carbon construction, Delta fork, and integrated seatpost clamp Riders placing a high priority on frame weight and direct handling
SuperSix EVO LAB71 Gen 5 Series 0 Carbon approx. 728-gram frame in size 56, 378-gram fork, size-specific layup Performance-oriented riders and individual high-end builds
CAAD14 SmartForm C1 Aluminum Carbon fork, BSA bottom bracket, UDH, internal cable routing Riders looking for a modern aluminum race bike

With the SuperSix EVO Gen 5, Cannondale has noticeably changed the geometry compared to the fourth generation. The stack has been reduced by 10 millimeters across all sizes. The former size 51 is no longer available and has been replaced by sizes 50 and 52. This results in a sportier front end and finer gradations for smaller riders. Reach and wheelbase differ depending on the frame size, which is why a comparison is only meaningful between identical sizes.

The standard carbon version is not merely a cheaper LAB71 design. It utilizes its own unique layup and, according to Cannondale, weighs around 910 grams as a painted frame in size 56. LAB71 reduces this value to approx. 728 grams using Series 0 carbon. Hi-MOD falls somewhere between the two variants in terms of construction; however, Cannondale does not provide a uniform comparison weight on the German frameset page. For purchase decisions, the weight of the complete bike and the equipment are therefore more informative than the designation of the carbon layup alone.

Bosch SX, Bosch CX and the FlyingV

Among e-bikes, the confirmed new releases cover two clearly distinct use cases. The Bosch Performance Line SX in the FlyingV is aimed at city riders looking for a light and natural-feeling e-bike. The current Moterra series uses the more powerful Performance Line CX for long climbs and demanding trails.

The FlyingV 1 combines a full carbon frame with a carbon fork, carbon mudguards, and the Bosch Performance Line SX. The motor delivers up to 60 Nm of torque and is powered by an integrated 400 Wh CompactTube battery. Added to this are an electronic Shimano Nexus Di2 internal gear hub and a Gates belt drive. The FlyingV 2 utilizes a mechanically shifted Nexus hub. The carbon mudguards reduce weight and are designed to avoid rattling noises due to their stiff construction.

If you mainly commute, have to carry your bike up stairs, or frequently ride above the assistance limit, the FlyingV with Bosch SX is a better fit. The compact motor provides assistance up to 25 km/h in Germany and is lighter than a CX drive designed for e-MTBs. ([cannondale.com](https://www.cannondale.com/de-de/bikes/electric/e-urban/flyingv/flyingv-1?utm_source=openai))

If steep uphills, long trail rides, and plenty of travel are the priority, the Moterra is the more appropriate series. Depending on the variant, the current Moterra combines a carbon or aluminum frame with 150 millimeters of rear travel, a 160-millimeter fork, 29-inch wheels, and a Bosch PowerTube battery with 800 Wh. On compatible models, a PowerMore range extender increases the total capacity to up to 1,050 Wh. Cannondale specifies up to 120 Nm for current Moterra versions, but the actual available motor power may depend on the model configuration and software release. Therefore, the specification of the specific bike should be checked before purchase.

What is changing technically at Cannondale?

The 2027 Cannondale new releases do not show a single technological leap. Instead, it is striking that frames, cockpits, drives, and digital functions are being more closely coordinated. The following systems are already confirmed but are not automatically included in the equipment of every model.

  • The SuperSix EVO Gen 5 uses a Delta steerer for a smaller frontal area and completely internal cable routing. UDH and a BSA bottom bracket simplify the use of current drivetrains and maintenance.
  • Series 0 Carbon is used in the LAB71 versions. Cannondale combines carbon fibers with a nano-resin layup to reduce frame weight with less material usage.
  • SmartSense Gen 2 connects lighting, rear-facing radar, and the Cannondale App. The StVZO-compliant version of the front light reaches up to 400 lumens. According to Cannondale, the radar detects approaching vehicles from up to 140 meters away.
  • AppTag is an NFC sticker that opens the Cannondale app when the smartphone is inserted into the designated mount. The app can record rides, manage service intervals, and provide model-specific information.
  • On the FlyingV, the smartphone with the mount and AppTag serves as a navigation and data display. The motor control remains part of the Bosch Smart System.

SmartSense Gen 2 is primarily relevant for Synapse and selected Topstone models. AppTag can be found on the FlyingV, among others. Before purchasing, it is therefore worth taking a look at the equipment list instead of deriving the technology from the model family.

The new products released so far were introduced individually: FlyingV in November 2025, SuperSix EVO Gen 5 in February 2026, and CAAD14 on March 10, 2026. Instead of waiting for a single launch, interested parties should check the product pages and the inventory of authorized dealers for the desired model.
