Cannondale says it has created the Leichtbau to celebrate its performance heritage and \u201ctireless pursuit of the perfect ride\u201d.<\/p>\n
Few will be able to join the celebrations, however: the SuperSix EVO Leichtbau is limited to 200 worldwide and it costs \u00a34,250 \/ $5,200 \/ \u20ac4,999.<\/p>\n

According to Cannondale, this is 90g lighter than Cannondale\u2019s standard SuperSix EVO Hi-Mod frameset, which is the premium option in the brand\u2019s range.<\/p>\n
Cannondale says it has achieved this reduction in weight by using its \u201cmost sophisticated carbon construction to date\u201d with the \u201clatest layup technology and most advanced materials\u201d.<\/p>\n
Cannondale hasn\u2019t gone into greater detail on what this layup technology is or how the materials differ from the Hi-Mod version of the SuperSix. However, the spec sheet for this new frameset lists the frame and fork material as \u2018SuperSix EVO Leichtbau carbon\u2019.<\/p>\n
