The New Supersix EVO is here.....

.... and as s previous owner of two different versions the results are.... hit and miss? At least at first glance. Good to see they haven't forgot about the rim brake crowd, but the design/cable routing choices look curious at best.

Terrible graphics/paint, weird cable routing, headtube/stem junction is junk when not using the KNOT system, etc. etc.

It will probably ride great like all Cannondales, but just can't get behind the total lack of aesthetic acumen on display.

the question is why are they still using the DA 9070 groupset on a 2020 bike.

I was thinking the same thing.

Not bad overall.

Because it's a computer rendering and they drop on parts from the archives to mock it as a complete bike, pre production. Probably not the pictures they expected to get out online.

Despite my efforts, I still can't make my brain like those midget seat stays.

Love the new evo and the direction Cannondale is going. Retro grouches be damned!

I think the bikes look nice but the paint jobs look dated.

I kinda like the fact that they make it so easy for me. I would never buy a bike that looks like this and they all currently do, specialized bmc canyon cannondale etc. They all make bikes i have absolutely zero desire to buy Its a good thing i guess .)

I agree. Are they all working from the same basic mold or what?

Cannondale is differentiating itself slightly with uglier paint.

However, I find myself somewhat curious about the 2020 BMC Roadmachine even though it is the opposite of what I would typically go for.

No thanks. All bikes are starting to look the same now like mentioned above. Those tiny, barely there stays are awful. Please move them up the seat tube as well. Far better looking there. Maybe they do ride great, but I'll never know. Not a fan of the font either. But I like the Moots font so go figure.
