Few bike brands have shaped modern cycling like Cannondale. Known for pushing boundaries, Cannondale has a reputation for bold design choices, high-performance road and mountain bikes, and a willingness to take risks that most big brands avoid.
Founded in Connecticut in 1971, Cannondale started with bike trailers and accessories before entering the bike market. By the 1980s, they became pioneers of oversized aluminum frames, challenging the dominance of steel. Today, they remain a major player in road, gravel, mountain, and e-bikes, with a reputation for innovation and performance.
