Meanwhile the Tektro hydraulic disc brakes offer powerful and graduated stopping, and the Schwalbe tyres have so proven to be grippy even in the wet and resistant to punctures despite my penchant for taking them on daily rides through glass-strewn city centre streets. The mixed Acera and Altus groupset may not be the most premium shifting money can buy, but it does a fine job on this type of bike, shifting smoothly through the gears, of which there's a fairly decent range to help with undulating landscapes. I’ve been able to comfortably ride the Quick 3 practically all day, running errands around town and taking longer detours to enjoy the nice weather we’ve been having, and not suffer for my efforts afterwards. The bike just wants to be fast, and it doesn’t require a huge amount of effort to let it.Īlthough aluminium frames can sometimes feel quite harsh on uneven surfaces (and let’s face it, the roads in the UK are anything but smooth in many parts of the country), the combination with 35mm tyres helps to soak up some of the road chatter and cushions the ride significantly. Handling is extremely responsive, thanks to the brand’s OutFront steering geometry (which pairs a 55mm fork offset with a slack head tube angle of 71 degrees), with the ride feeling very fun and zippy.įrom pootling around town to heading out on longer rides, I’ve found myself beating some personal records and even managing to overtake my partner on the climb home which, honestly, is kind of a big deal for me. Known for its aluminium frames, Cannondale has produced a fitness bike that accelerates quickly and delivers a stiff but comfortable ride, enabling you to pick up the pace when you need to without experiencing undue arm fatigue. Combining these two features allows you to keep track of metrics like your speed and mileage, while the Cannondale app also provides reminders when your bike’s due for a service, as well as eco reports, with information about how many gallons of fuel you’ve saved and CO2 reduced by riding instead of driving.įrom the outset I was really pleasantly surprised by the ride feel of the Cannondale Quick 3. Furthermore, the Intellimount stem can hold any SP-Connect compatible phone cases, making it easy for riders to affix their phone in place to create a dashboard. First and foremost, it comes equipped with Cannondale Wheel Sensors, which allow you to connect to the Cannondale app and track your ride data. In addition to the usual features you’d expect to find, the Cannondale Quick 3 also packs a couple of extra punches to provide some fitness-related perks for its target audience. If you have a longer reach and inseam, you might fare better with the unisex range. Generally, the women’s model is likely to work better for people with a shorter stature and reach. There are slight variations in the numbers for the women’s and unisex sizes which overlap, so be sure to check thoroughly for the right fit.
Its size range includes Small – 2XL, while the women’s models come in XS – Large. The unisex model comes up larger, with a higher standover and longer effective top tube length.
The women’s specific model comes with the exact same unisex contact points - a Cannondale Fitness Ergo Double Density saddle and Ergo Fitness Dual Density Lock-On grips - and only differs slightly in geometry.
