"Time trials are brutally simple. No drafting, no tactics, no hiding in the bunch. Just rider, machine, and the clock. Cannondale's answer to that equation for 2026 is the all-new SuperSlice - a full rethink of its time-trial platform. Developed alongside the TT specialists at EF Pro Cycling, the new SuperSlice is a pure expression of Cannondale's aero expertise, blending wind-tunnel science, rider feedback, and obsessive integration into a machine aimed squarely at WorldTour time-trial and triathlon podiums alike."
"The outgoing SuperSlice was already one of the quickest bikes on the start ramp, so improving it wasn't about reinvention. It was about refinement. Cannondale engineers evaluated every tube shape, junction, and component using hundreds of hours of CFD simulations and wind-tunnel validation. The result is a system that produces 14% less drag than the previous SuperSlice, translating into a 10-watt savings at 50 km/h."
Cannondale developed the 2026 SuperSlice with TT specialists at EF Pro Cycling, focusing on aero performance, rider feedback, and integration. The new SuperSlice reduces drag by 14% compared with the previous model, yielding a roughly 10-watt savings at 50 km/h, while the frame gains only 60 grams. Geometry and handling remain familiar, with increased head-tube and bottom-bracket stiffness for improved power transfer and steering precision. Hundreds of hours of CFD simulation and wind-tunnel validation informed tube shapes, junctions, and components. The front end features a slimmed fork and head tube with integrated cable routing via the Delta steerer.
