Cannondale Releases the All-New Quick, a Modern and Inspiring Approach to Fitness

WILTON, Conn., May 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cannondale, a premium brand of Cycling Sports Group, part of Dorel Industries, Inc. (TSX: DII.B, DII.A), announced today the introduction of the all-new Quick, a completely redesigned high-performance bike for the modern day fitness enthusiast. The Quick is a lightest-in-class fitness bike with high-visibility 360-reflectivity that is comfortable and supremely stable.

"Cannondale set out to create the most versatile fitness bike on the market, with its refined blend of capability and downright fun," said Burton Avery, Product Manager at Cannondale. "Whether taking an early morning ride across town or coming home from a late night gym session, the all-new Quick is a rider's perfect partner on the road to fitness."

The Quick bolsters safety with highly-reflective graphic elements on all key areas of the frame, providing 360-degrees of enhanced visibility for a safer ride. The new Quick also features a more natural, upright and comfortable rider position, and Cannondale's new OutFront Steering Geometry has a ride-feel that is incredibly stable, yet still playfully agile.

To maximize comfort and control, the Quick's SmartForm C2 Alloy frame features Cannondale's proprietary SAVE Micro-Suspension, a system of flex zones in the rear triangle that absorb shock and reduce vibration on rough roads. With over 30 year of Cannondale frame-building expertise and R&D distilled into each and every frame, the Quick is the lightest bike in its class, easier to lift and easier to pedal. Additionally, each Quick bike is equipped with ergonomic grips and a plush saddle with a deep pressure-relief channel to provide comfort where it matters most.

Select models feature hydraulic disc brakes for increased stopping power and control, especially when riding in wet weather. All models feature rack and fender mounts, allowing the rider to handle commutes, errands, and the occasional warm summer rain shower.

The Cannondale Quick will be available in eight models from $400 – $1200 USD beginning mid-May 2016.  For more information on the Cannondale Quick, visit Cannondale.com. Be sure to also follow Cannondale on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
