- The CAADX is available in five sizes, suiting a wide range of riders.
- Smooth tubing and quality paint give the CAADX an immaculate appearance, according to both experts and users.
- Compared to other cyclocross bikes, the CAADX does not have as aggressive geometry. The bike offers riders a stance that is comfortable for long commutes and endurance gravel racing.
- The CAADX is capable of tackling singletrack, with a rigid frame, responsive brakes and agile drop bars.
- The WTB Riddlers and Schwalbe CX Comp tires are excellent all-around riding tires. They are semi-slick and suitable for racing cyclocross, gravel biking and commuting.

- The CAADX is lightweight, making it easy to carry over obstacles.
- Experts agree the CAADX 105's Shimano 105 groupset allows for smooth shifting.
- The carbon fork and rear triangle micro-suspension cushion one’s ride on rough terrain.

5 reasons not to buy
- Experts and users both found the wheels surprisingly heavy for the build, on the CAADX 105.
- The Cannondale CAADX 105 SE does not have rear rack mounts.
- The bike may struggle to keep up to speed on group road rides.
- The quick-release wheels are more prone to disc rub than a thru-axle wheel setup.

Bottom line
Cannondale’s CAADX is a bike of many uses. Originally designed as a cyclocross race bike, riders have found the CAADX greatly capable of crushing gravel and commuting. The geometry is relaxed enough to take on longer distances. Features such as mechanical disc brakes on the CAADX 105 SE offer one the potential to tour on it. This bike may not keep up with road bikes, but it is a great all-around off-road adventure race bike and daily commuter.Expert Reviews
