Bike check du Tour de France 2024 : Le Cannondale SuperSix Evo LAB71 de Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost)

With their pink jerseys (and vehicles), the drivers of the EF Education team do not go unnoticed. This is also the case of his bikes, the Cannondale SuperSix Evo LAB71, here that of Neilson Powless.

Since the beginning of 2023 and the first professional events, the American team, as well as that of St-Michel-Mavic-Auber93 in Continental. ride this new Cannondale. The Americans use the most high-end version, the LAB71. Why this new SuperSix 4e the generation is available in three levels of ranges and fibers.

The new layup, Series 0, is the most premium. In size 56, the frame alone weighs 770 g. The brand announces a “bike straight out of the box that weighs 6.8 kg” in its top version. Then we go to 810 g in Hi-Mod and 930 g for the last fiber.

Cannondale has worked a lot on its new frame, both on the weight, but also on the rigidity and especially the aerodynamic data. The studies carried out in a wind tunnel in San Diego have borne fruit according to the brand, since it announces gains of about 12 W at 45 km/h compared to the old version. The canvas/handlebar/seatpost/wheels combination was developed together after computer iterations.

A professional bike right down to the valves

The EF bike is equipped with Shimano Dura Ace Di2 and complemented with Vision and FSA components, such as Metron wheels, in different profiles. We note the presence of Wahoo Speedplay pedals and, to inflate the 28 mm Vittoria Corsa Pro tubeless tires, pink MucOff valves! Of course.
