In a nutshell: The choice of Liquigas
Website: www.cannondale.com

The riders of the Liquigas Pro Cycling Team will compete aboard the new System Six, Synapse SL and Six13 Slice bicycles. Cannondale's unique frame designs and system integration will offer them a combination of lightweight and stiffness.

The SystemSix is the lightest, stiffest, most explosive bike Cannondale has ever made. It was meticulously crafted by a team of performance obsessed engineers to achieve a single, specific objective. Victory.

“The SystemSix bucks the stiffness to weight paradigm,” says Steve Metz, VP Product at Cannondale. “Ordinarily, to achieve the ultimate race-desired stiffness, a bike must add material in critical areas. The SystemSix, uncharacteristically adds stiffness using less material through our knowledge based, laminate design process.” While many carbon fiber designs are engineered to replace aluminum, the entire front end 'system' of the SystemSix is optimized around the anisotropic characteristics of carbon.
