We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Cannondale SuperX. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

11 reasons to buy

  • The SuperX is available in three builds: SuperX 3, 2, and the top-end LAB71.
  • Testers of the SuperX 2 praise the bike's quick acceleration and ease of maintaining high speeds.
  • Experts relish the performance on climbs thanks to the responsive, efficient frame and low weight.
  • The built-in frame flex and D-shaped seatpost help soak up vibrations for improved comfort over long rides.
  • Experts appreciate the SuperX’s stability at high speeds and over rough terrain.
  • The SuperX's precise handling inspires confidence on steep downhills and technical terrain.
  • The SuperX’s agility allows testers to lean into corners aggressively.
  • The UCI-approved frame has a top tube bag mount, two bottle cage mounts, and fully integrated cabling.
  • The frameset can accommodate up to a 51mm tire in the front and 48mm in the rear.
  • Cannondale's wheel sensor tracks ride distance and speed and syncs with Cannondale's app and third-party fitness apps.
  • Cannondale provides a lifetime warranty for the frame.

5 reasons not to buy

  • A tester finds the SuperX 2's gear range limiting on steep off-road ramps above 15%.
  • Two experts say the stiff cockpit translates to a harsh front end feel.
  • Only the top-end SuperX LAB71 comes with a power meter.
  • The frame doesn't have any cable guides, and the fully integrated cable routing complicates servicing.
  • The SuperX LAB71 is much more expensive than competing top-end gravel race bikes.

Bottom line

Cannondale's SuperX is a gravel race bike available in three builds: SuperX 3, 2, and LAB71. Only the SuperX 2 is tested. Experts relish the precise steering, stability, and comfort on long rides over varied terrains. The responsive, efficient frame makes it easy to reach and maintain high speeds, and the low weight is ideal for climbing. Some testers feel the 2x SuperX 2 and 3 lack gearing for steep off-road climbs, instead favoring a wider 1x cassette. While experts are impressed with the SuperX's capabilities, they feel the LAB71 is overpriced.
