We Raced Used Bikes At An Elite Race - How Bad Was It?
Global Cycling Network
Expert Pick #10
Cannondale SuperSix EVO Hi-MOD.
The fourth generation of Cannondale's longest-running race platform. Hi-MOD frame at 810 g (size 56), 17 watts saved at 45 km/h versus the prior generation, and 34 mm tire clearance — Cycling Weekly's 'nearly perfect race bike.'
The Verdict.
8.3/ 10
Gavler Meta-Score
“The 'do everything well' race bike — Cannondale's longest-running race platform, in its strongest generation yet. Best for riders who race occasionally but ride long, varied, and on mixed surfaces the rest of the year. Skip it if you want a single-discipline specialist; the Canyon Ultimate CFR climbs lighter and the BMC R 01 cuts wind harder.”

Fourth-Gen Truncated-Airfoil Frame
Cannondale's redesigned tube shapes save 17 watts at 45 km/h versus the prior generation — measured in Cannondale's published aero testing.
34 mm Tire Clearance
The widened fork and seatstay design accept tires up to 34 mm — broader than the Tarmac SL8 (32 mm) or Dogma F (32 mm), enabling gravel-adjacent use cases.
810 g Hi-MOD Frame (Size 56)
Per Cannondale published spec, including paint and hardware. The LAB71 tier saves an additional 40 g at a meaningful price premium.

The Scoreboard
Expert Consensus84%
Community Rating81%
Cycling Weekly called the SuperSix EVO Hi-Mod 'the nearly perfect race bike.' Cyclist's Hi-Mod 1 review framed it as a 'bike for racing — and everything else.' Community scores reflect the lack of a single-discipline crown relative to the Ultimate CFR (lighter) or the BMC R 01 (more aero).

Do you think Cannondale SuperSix EVO Hi-MOD deserves the #10 spot in Best Road Bikes?
Global Critique
“The nearly perfect race bike — it wholly rejects the notion that if a bike is a jack of all trades, then it's likely a master of none.”
Cycling Weekly (SuperSix EVO Hi-Mod review)
“A bike for racing — and everything else.”
Rouleur (SuperSix EVO Hi-Mod 1 review)
“Balances reputation with modern performance. The fourth-generation platform brings the SuperSix into the truncated-airfoil aero conversation without sacrificing the bike's signature ride quality.”
Escape Collective
“Low weight and supreme stiffness, with a more aerodynamic platform. It remains a brilliantly handling, enticingly quick race bike.”
