With tires offering confident control on both pavement and dirt, wide-ranging 1x11 SRAM GX gearing and a sporty, upright riding position, the Cannondale Althea 1 offers fast, fun adventures anywhere.
- Althea has been redesigned with a focus on a performance-oriented fit that's better suited to multi-surface riding and commuting
- Low stand-over means easy mounting and dismounting, and smaller 650c wheels on the XS frame size means a perfect fit for all
- 50mm travel front suspension absorbs washboard and bumps, while the 1-1/2" to 1-1/8" tapered head tube keeps steering precise and you confident
- SAVE micro-suspension seatstays and chainstays work with a smaller 27.2mm seatpost, heads-up riding position and ergonomic saddle and grips to increase comfort and control
- Big 35c multi-surface tires are fast and grippy on dirt and pavement, and full rack and fender mounts let you customize your Althea 1 for the type of riding you're into
- Thanks to the aluminum expertise of Cannondale, it's super light but offers heavyweight performance, on the road or off
