Quick CX

Raam

Cannondale's mid-tier hydroformed aluminium frame — one grade above the SmartForm C3 used on entry MTB. Same frame used across the entire Quick CX line (CX 1 to CX 4). SAVE (Synapse Active Vibration Elimination) is Cannondale's name for a passive compliance scheme — shaped, flattened seat-stays that flex vertically a few millimetres under load while remaining laterally stiff. Originally developed for the Synapse endurance road bike. Adds no weight vs a conventional triangle and requires no maintenance, unlike an actual suspension element.

Kahvel

1-1/8" upper to 1-1/2" lower tapered alloy 9mm QR (CX 2/3/4); 15mm thru-axle on CX 1 2023+ Smooths broken pavement, cobble, tram-track edges, root-bumps on forest paths, and gravel chatter — not designed for jumps, rocks, or singletrack. 50mm of travel is enough to take the sting out of urban road surfaces and unpaved bike paths without the weight, complexity, or geometry compromise of a true MTB fork. ~+700-900g vs the rigid Quick's carbon or chromoly fork. The Quick CX 1 weighs ~12.0kg vs Quick 1 at ~10.6kg, with the fork accounting for the bulk of that difference. Lower-leg service annually (10-15 EUR DIY, ~40 EUR at a shop). Elastomer top-out may stiffen with age (5+ years of daily use) and can be replaced as a unit by Suntour service centres.

Jõuülekanne

Shimano CUES U6000 1×11 (top tier CX 1) — Linkglide trigger shifter, CUES 6000 40T crank, Shimano CUES LG400 11-50T 11-speed cassette, CN-LG500 chain. Lower tiers step down: CX 2 = Altus 2×9, CX 3 = Acera 3×9, CX 4 = Altus/Tourney 3×8.

Pidurid

Hydraulic disc, 160/160mm rotors. CX 1 uses Shimano MT200; CX 2/CX 3/EQ use Tektro HD-M275; CX 4 (entry) uses Tektro mechanical disc.

Rattad

Cannondale DC 4.0 double-wall alloy rims with eyelets, 32h, on Shimano QC-300 QR hubs (CX 1). 700c across all sizes. Lower tiers use Cannondale 3 disc alloy wheels. Not tubeless-ready at any tier.

Rehvid

Vittoria Terreno Dry 700×40c (CX 1), reflective sidewall. Lower tiers ship Maxxis Detonator 700×40c with reflective sidewall. Frame clears up to 700×45c with fenders, 700×47c without.

Vedrustus

Front suspension only — SR Suntour 50mm-travel fork (current CX 1 uses NEX-E25 with hydraulic remote lockout; earlier generations used Mobie A45). Rear is rigid but uses Cannondale's passive SAVE micro-suspension shaped seat-stays for vertical compliance. No rear shock.

Rooliplokk

Cannondale Riser 6061 alloy bar (700mm, 25mm rise, 8° sweep), Cannondale 3 alloy stem with Intellimount accessory mount (SP-Connect native), 6061 alloy seatpost 27.2×350mm. Ergon GP1 lock-on grips on CX 1; generic ergonomic lock-on grips on lower tiers.

Sadul

Cannondale Fitness Ergo Double Density saddle, steel rails, fitness-leaning urban-hybrid profile.

Geomeetria

Upright urban-hybrid posture — slightly steeper HTA than a true MTB (which would be 67-68°) for responsive low-speed steering in city traffic, but slacker than the rigid Quick (71°+) to accommodate the fork. 700c (28-inch) across all sizes 700c maintained on all sizes including XS — Cannondale does not downsize to 650b/27.5 on small frames for this line. Smaller riders may find toe overlap on the smallest frame size; size up if borderline. Up to 700×45c with fenders fitted; up to 700×47c without fenders Quick CX has a ~1.5° slacker head tube angle (70° vs ~71.5°) and ~30mm longer wheelbase than the rigid Quick at equivalent size — both consequences of the suspension correction. Stack is ~15mm higher; reach is ~5mm shorter. The CX feels more relaxed and stable; the rigid Quick feels quicker-handling and more road-bike-like. Quick CX HTA 70° is roughly the same as Trek Dual Sport's 69.5-70°. Reach values are within 5mm at each size. Functionally interchangeable geometry — the differences are component spec, frame material grade, and fork tuning.

Kaal

Quick CX 1 ~14.0 kg (official, ~30 lbs 14.5 oz / size M). Earlier CX 1 generations measured ~12.0 kg. Lower tiers heavier: CX 4 ~13 kg, EQ ~14.5 kg fully equipped. ~700-900g heavier than the rigid Quick due to the suspension fork.
