At the fourth-generation Cannondale SuperSix Evo global press camp in Girona in 2023, I remember Cannondale Senior Design Engineer Dr. Nathan Barry telling me that, while he was relieved to unveil the new bike, work on the new model was already well underway. Fast forward to November 2025, and I was invited to the same venue in Girona to sample the fifth-generation SuperSix Evo on the same roads and climbs as the previous version; an ideal test bed then to assess any tangible difference in the way the new bike rides and behaves across all environments.
It hasn’t been one of Cannondale’s best-kept secrets, what with leaked images of the bike hitting online forums late last year and sightings of what appeared to be a new SuperSix Evo at the Tour Down Under last month. While many comments were focused on the lack of design progression, Cannondale says it’s not a mistake that its best road bike resembles the old one – after all, the SuperSix Evo 4 was ridden to World Championship, Olympic Games, and Grand Tour stage victories during its tenure.
