Exceptional Aluminum Performance
Everything we know about aluminum road bikes in one space – refined tube profiles, precision butting, and double-pass welds create frames that are lighter and ride better than our competitors’ high-ticket alloy offerings.
Elite Race Geometry
With geometry influenced directly from our award-winning CAAD13 bike, the CAAD Optimo offers true race handling and optimal body position at all times.
Ride Smoother with SAVE
Along with Optimo’s new dropped seatstay profile, finely engineered flex zones in the rear of the frame absorb road chatter for better comfort and control.
Full Carbon Fork
Premium carbon fork features full carbon fiber construction and a tapered steerer, for ultra low weight, and maximum steering precision
Versatility Built-In
Subtle rack and fender mounts expand CAAD Optimo's versatility for commuting/wet weather training
Smoother Than Ever
CAAD bikes have always been known for their surprisingly smooth ride. CAAD Optimo features a newly deisgned SAVE rear triangle to absorb road chatter for better comfort and control
