Schwalbe are known for their excellent tires and the Spicer is a popular touring option, having attracted rave reviews for its puncture protection and durability over rough roads. The Quick 5 through to the Quick 3 upgrades the rubber to Schwalbe Spicer.
The Quick 6’s build as a budget-friendly, entry-level commuter is reflected by the use of Kenda Kourier tires, built for increased puncture protection and grip. Schwalbe Lugano, 700 x 32c, K-Guard, reflective strip Schwalbe Spicer, 700 x 35c, K-Guard, reflective strip Cannondale have also swapped in Shimano MT201 hydraulic disc brakes for their flagship model in the Quick range.Ĭannondale Disc, double wall w/eyelet, 32h But for a hybrid bike, or commuter-plus-fitness as Cannondale market the Quick, it is a top spec with trickle-down technology ensuring it packs a punch when it comes to quick, smooth and efficient shifting. Realistically, if you are only after a bike for commuting, 105 is over-the-top – you should be shopping down the hierarchy.

Not quite a full group (the FSA Omega crank is used), it is nevertheless impressively well-specced for a hybrid bike. Cannondale have dressed it in Shimano’s ever-popular 105 groupset with 11-speed cassette. If you want a top fitness bike choice, the Quick 1 is your best bet instead. Mixed with an FSA Temp crank and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, Sora offers smoother shifting but is still entry-level by the brand’s standards. The Cannondale Quick 2 wears Shimano Sora, which takes you into the brand’s dedicated road groupsets. Shimano MT201 hydro disc, 160/160mm RT56 rotors They all feature enough gear options for the urban commute, but the rider looking to clock longer miles would want something smoother, more efficient and higher-spec. A mix of Shimano Altus and Acera – two more low-level groupsets from the brand’s urban range – feature on the Quick 3, meanwhile. Tourney is also used on the Quick 5, including a double crankset, but Rapidfire shifters are swapped in for more efficient shifting and Promax mechanical disc brakes step up the stopping power.Ĭannondale have designed the Quick 4 with a single 38T Prowheel crankset and nine-speed mircroSHIFT cassette, but braking again steps up with Tektro hydro discs. It serves up a wide range of gears when paired with the seven-speed cassette. Starting with the Quick 6 then, Shimano’s entry-level urban derailleurs, Shimano Tourney, are paired with a triple Prowheel crankset. Carbon is lighter and dampens road vibrations more efficiently, highlighting the fact the top-end Quick models are built for more than just the ride to work. Move up the range and the Quick 3, 2 and 1 show their fitness-focused heart by swapping out steel for full carbon. On the Quick 6, 5 and 4 the alloy frame is paired with a chromoly steel fork with a tapered steerer. Other smart features on the frame include 360-degree reflective decals, internal cable routing and a tapered headtube for greater control. A more comfortable, less fatiguing ride is the end product. SAVE comes from higher in the Cannondale range and essentially refers to the shape of the tube profiles, and their ability to soak up road buzz more effectively. Not only is the frameset built to shave off weight without hampering the reliability and durability you would expect from a commuting bike, but it has also been designed with SAVE technology.
