Cannondale now features a SuperSix EVO LAB71 (gack the capiTaliZation) with this on it. While I'm not a mathematician by trade, $16k list seems a bit ambitious to me... $6k frame, $4k group, $2k wheels, then $1k misc still leaves me a few $k short must be luxury or exclusivity fees! It is pretty though SuperSix EVO LAB71 Red AXS E1

The article that I read says that the brake hoods are 7mm longer in reach, which would mean one size shorter stem for most users.
I don't agree with the long lever throw claim. If the contact adjustment is used properly, the brakes are bled with the contact adjuster full CCW or up. That produces the minimum lever travel and immediate movement of the brake pads. Turning the adjuster CW just creates deadband., where the lever moves, but the pads don't. I have to use the lever reach adjustment and get them much closer to the bar, so I can reach them. I get them very close to touching the handlebar under full braking. I never use the contact adjustment since it would just make things worse. The pinched fingers complaints are amusing. With small hands, fingers are never left under the levers while braking. I also don't get the desire for narrow hoods, except perhaps for those of us with small hands. I have 3 bikes with D1 Force levers and don't find the new and narrow Rival hoods on my newest bike to be any real improvement. The Rival brakes work great though. I also read that the new Red brake calipers provide 0.4mm more pad clearance that will certainly make wheel swaps easier. Still disappointing is the 13T difference between the chain rings. My 2X bikes will keep using Shimano GRX 46/30 12 speed cranks that shift great. |

Glad some find it amusing. I find it painful. Not everyone rides the same terrain as you and there are many different styles of riding as well.
