CANNONDALE
In 1971, a pivotal moment unfolded as the world embarked on a swift transformation marked by an exhilarating surge of digital innovation, boundless creativity, and a global quest for fresh aspirations. This era marked a new chapter, even though the realm of cycling remained steeped in tradition and adherence to a rigid rulebook. Within this context, Cannondales founders harbored a profound conviction that a superior path could be charted.
Cannondale boldly cast aside the rulebook, forging an entirely fresh trajectory and introducing a novel approach. Originating in a workshop in Connecticut, Cannondale embarked on a mission to transform the world of cycling, making it better and accessible to all.
Cannondale approached their task with open minds, tirelessly iterating and refining their efforts. Since day one, Cannondale’s focus has been on pioneering cutting-edge materials, ergonomic designs, and groundbreaking technology, and they have never wavered from this commitment.
Cannondale championed the adoption of aluminum and carbon-fiber manufacturing at a time when most remained steadfastly attached to steel. They challenged the status quo in suspension technology with innovative single-sided forks, crafting extraordinary frames and products that revolutionized the world of racing. Cannondale’s efforts resulted in award-winning bicycles that propelled individuals to new heights.
